Global analysis of depletion and recovery of seabed biota after bottom trawling disturbance [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017 Bottom trawling is the most widespread human activity affecting seabed habitats. Here, we collate all available data for experimental and comparative studies of trawling impacts on whole communities of seabed macroinvertebrates on sedimentary habitats ...

Impacts of Bottom Trawling and Litter on the Seabed in Norwegian Waters [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Bottom trawling and seabed littering are two serious threats to seabed integrity. We present an overview of the distribution of seabed litter and bottom trawling in Norwegian waters (the Norwegian Sea and the southern Barents Sea).

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.

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.

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 (

Deep-Sea Mega-Epibenthic Assemblages from the SW Portuguese Margin (NE Atlantic) Subjected to Bottom-Trawling Fisheries [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 Bottom-trawling fisheries are a common threat to the health of continental margins worldwide. Together with numerous environmental and biological processes, physical disturbance induced by trawlers can largely shape the benthic habitats and their ...

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 ...

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 ...

Quantifying the Physical Impact of Bottom Trawling Based on High-Resolution Bathymetric Data
Remote Sensing, 2022 Bottom trawling is one of the most significant anthropogenic pressures on physical seafloor integrity. The objective classification of physical impact is important to monitor ongoing fishing activities and to assess the regeneration of seafloor integrity
