Bottom-trawling along submarine canyons impacts deep sedimentary regimes. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 Unidad de excelencia María de Maeztu MdM-2015-0552Many studies highlight that fish trawling activities cause seafloor erosion, but the assessment of the remobilization of surface sediments and its relocation is still not well documented.

Acute-Stress Biomarkers in Three Octopodidae Species After Bottom Trawling [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Several Octopodidae species have a great potential for the diversification of worldwide aquaculture. Unfortunately, the lack of stress-related biomarkers in this taxon results an obstacle for its maintenance in conditions where animal welfare is of ...

Distribution of Bottom Trawling Effort in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Bottom trawling is one of the most efficient fishing activities, but serious and persistent ecological issues have been observed by fishers, scientists and fishery managers. Although China has applied the Beidou fishing vessel position monitoring system (

Unraveling Fish Community Diversity and Structure in the Yellow Sea: Evidence from Environmental DNA Metabarcoding and Bottom Trawling [PDF]
AnimalsThe use of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to analyze fish species diversity across different aquatic ecosystems is well documented. Nonetheless, there is a gap in validating eDNA metabarcoding studies on the diversity and structure of fish ...

Persistence of Biogeochemical Alterations of Deep‐Sea Sediments by Bottom Trawling
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Bottom trawling grounds have been expanding to deeper areas of the oceans since the mid‐XXth century, and mitigating strategies aimed to protect fish stocks, such as temporal trawling closures, have recently been implemented.
