Abstract
⺠We analyzed the performance of circle hooks in longline fisheries of the Eastern Pacific. ⺠Different sizes of circle hooks were tested to different target species. ⺠Circle hooks reduced sea turtle hooking rates in most of the fisheries analyzed. ⺠The results for target species were not consistent for all fisheries and countries. ⺠Results best support fishery/regionally-specific management approaches.
