Abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) is responsible for the entanglement of several marine species. Based on a search of digital media (i.e., Google and YouTube), we assessed the negative impacts of ghost nets-a type of ALDFG-on Brazilian marine biodiversity. We found that ghost nets negatively affected crustaceans, fishes, reptiles, birds, and mammals in different parts of the Brazilian coast. Our reports include marine megafauna, such as the Bryde's whale and Guiana dolphin. In addition, we found that ghost nets impacted seven threatened species and had negative effects on animals within marine protected areas. Here, we provide an update on the negative impacts of ghost nets on Brazilian marine biota, but the real situation remains underestimated and somewhat obscure.
废弃、丢失或丢弃的渔具（ALDFG）导致了多种海洋物种的纠缠。基于对数字媒体（即谷歌和 YouTube）的搜索，我们评估了幽灵网（一种 ALDFG）对巴西海洋生物多样性的负面影响。我们发现，幽灵网对巴西海岸不同地区的甲壳类动物、鱼类、爬行动物、鸟类和哺乳动物产生了负面影响。我们的报告包括海洋巨型动物，如 Bryde 的鲸鱼和圭亚那海豚。此外，我们发现幽灵网还影响了七种受威胁物种，并对海洋保护区内的动物产生了负面影响。在这里，我们提供了幽灵网对巴西海洋生物群负面影响的最新信息，但实际情况仍被低估，有些模糊。
