| | Driftnet fisheries and their impacts on non-target species: a worldwide review |
 | | The Italian swordfish driftnet fishery was banned in 1990, and restarted at least temporarily during 1991, after much litigation, but with restrictions on the amounts of netting allowed per boat. |
 | | The species involved were sperm whales, (23 out of 131, or 17.5%, of entangled animals), Cuvier's beaked whales (1.5%), pilot whales (6%), Risso's dolphins (3%), bottlenose dolphins (8.4%), and striped dolphins (44%). |
 | | Read (1990) presented a table of cetacean catches by this fishery, indicating that common dolphins are the most frequently taken species (39%), followed by bottlenose and Risso's dolphins (15% and 14%). |
