Incidental catch is the capture of non-target fish. Numerous species including porpoises, turtles, sea birds, fur seals, and sharks are left to die in the ocean. The U. S. trawls fishery not only kills 3-5 tons of fish each year, but damages or destroys their habitat. The loss of habitat quality causes prolonged declines in both target and non-target stocks.
