These species have all been recorded as caught in seines (International Standard Classification of Fishing Gears codes 01-02.9). Almost all are divers, except the gulls and frigatebird, although most are not deep divers. Of the 41 species, 13 (about one-third) are plunge divers. The penguins are two of the more-northerly breeding species of penguins, both from South America.

If you are interested in more details about bycatch in any of these species, go to the map tool, choose “Explore by Species,” select the species (probably easiest in the “Common name” drop-down box), submit the query, and get a comprehensive report for your species of interest. The report will list all of the references regarding bycatch in the “Gear Interaction References” section.
