It probably depends where you live. If I was going to pursue that interest, I'd go to the local wharf and find a fisherperson.
Or maybe a marine museum/center. Being near the ocean is going to help.

Most bycatch get dumped overboard.
First, you have to find a ship/ fleet that does deep sea trawling.
I'd put together a photo book of stuff you want, and a bucket with safe preservative, and find a captain that's willing to throw stuff in the bucket.
Keep in mind that bycatch is measured by the ton, so you can't say "hold it all for me."

In St Petersburg Florida I ran a successful pet store. I went to a local wholesale seafood place who bought the shrimp from the shrimpers. I met some shrimpers and gave them a list of things I wanted along with buckets and battery air pumps. Afterwards, I had all kinds of neat things for aquarists.
If you are near temperate/tropical waters ad want to collect from shore, let me know and I'll give you my tricks.
Cheers

I had saltwater tanks. I went to the shrimp boats and live bait stores. they always had something mixed in with their catches.

Trinity River? In Calif, or Texas? I know Trinity in Cali is a bit of a drive to the ocean.
When I was in Naples- Italy, we went to a fish market, they had live octopus, I had saltwater at home, and thought, those
octopuses are pretty cheap. Not as easy to bring back as Absinthe and Cuban cigars.
