  abstract = {{I}ncreasing catch rates are considered the main impact of dynamic fisheries practices on marine ecosystems, but other effects can be equally important and are often ignored. {H}ere we quantify a major, previously unknown source of shark mortality: entanglement in drifting fish aggregating devices, now widely used in the global tropical tuna purse-seine fishery. {U}sing satellite tagging and underwater observational data, we developed two novel, independent, and complementary approaches, which quantify and highlight the scale of this problem. {E}ntanglement mortality of silky sharks (<named-content content-type="genus-species" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:type="simple">{C}archarhinus falciformis</named-content>) in the {I}ndian {O}cean was 5-10 times that of the known bycatch of this imperiled species from the region's purse-seine fleet. {M}ore importantly, these estimates from a single ocean (480 000-960 000 silky sharks) mirror those from all world fisheries combined (400 000-2 million silky sharks), a situation that clearly requires immediate management intervention and extensive monitoring.},
