Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Bycatch is not what we hope to catch or target during fishing. They are the undesired or un-targeted sea organisms that follows the real target.

It is common place to always find a bycatch anywhere there is fishing activities because fishing nets cannot distinguish between the desired from the undesired. Also, in a school of fish, other organisms can co-exist living off them.

Bycatches can be juvenile fishes, other sea organisms, wrong sex e.t.c

Often times, they can be released back into the water bodies where they are mistakenly fished from.
