The increasing frequency of whale entanglements in fishing gear is a global concern. In South African waters, the west coast rock lobster (WCRL), south coast rock lobster (SCRL) and octopus fisheries are responsible for whale entanglements in trap fishing gear. To better understand the interactions...
