Bycatch - Non-fisheries Bycatch

Non-fisheries Bycatch

The term "bycatch" is used also in contexts other than fisheries. Examples are insect collecting with pitfall traps or Flight Interception Traps for either financial, controlling or scientific purposes (where the bycatch may either be small vertebrates or untargeted insects) and control of introduced vertebrates which have become pest species like the muskrat in Europe (where the bycatch in traps may be e.g. European mink or waterfowl).
