Abstract
⺠Bycatch of diving seabirds in gillnets is an overlooked conservation problem. ⺠We recorded for the first time in Brazil incidental catches of Magellanic penguins. ⺠Capture rates occurred in both bottom and driftnet fisheries. ⺠A total of 68 penguins were killed in 16 sets. ⺠The impact of gillnets upon penguin populations is probably high.
