अतिरिक्त शिकार, अनचाहा शिकार


Definition from own experience or research:
ऐसे जीव जो मछलियों को पकड़ने की प्रक्रिया के दौरान जाल में फँस जाते हैं, यद्यपि इनका शिकार करना अभीष्ट-लक्ष्य नहीं होता है। ये अनचाहे शिकार होते हैं।

Example sentence(s):
  • कई बार पक्षी मछलियों के शिकार का "बाइकैच" [अतिरिक्त शिकार] बन जाते हैं। जहाजों से मछलियां मारने के कारण बहुत सारे समुद्री हंस मारे जाते हैं। मछलियों के लिए तैयार किए गए चारे को खाने के चक्कर में कील उनके गले में फंस जाती है और वे मारे जाते हैं। - http://www.patrika.com/
