translate English to French: While by-catch and discards are understandably the result of untargeted or incidental catches — call them collateral victims of fishing methods, if you will — the issue is nevertheless one that deserves a greater focus of attention.
Si ceux-ci peuvent résulter de prises non ciblées ou involontaires - des victimes indirectes de méthodes de pêche - la question reste digne d'intérêt.
