Bottom trawling is a fishing method that involves towing of nets along the seafloor to catch demersal species. The dragging of trawling gears along the seafloor results in scraping and ploughing of the surficial sediments, leading to the formation of ...

Annotated checklist and biodiversity analysis of benthic fauna at Sylt Outer Reef and Borkum Reef Ground (North Sea) [PDF]
Benthic fauna caught by ring dredge and 2 m beam trawl at the NATURA 2000 Sylt Outer Reef (SAR) and Borkum Reef Ground (BRG) sites in the North Sea are examined in relation to the intensity of mobile bottom-trawling fisheries.

Impacts of bycatch from beach seining: a case study of a shrimp fishery in Brazil [PDF]
It is commonly assumed that beach seining (BS) is more sustainable than bottom trawling because it involves non-motorized operations and limited fishing power. However, no scientific evidence supports this assumption.

Deep-sea fish species are targeted globally by bottom trawling. The species captured are often characterized by longevity, low fecundity and slow growth making them vulnerable to overfishing.

Bottom trawling in submarine canyons can affect their sedimentary dynamics, but studies addressing this topic are still scarce. In the Gulf of Palermo (NW Sicily, SW Mediterranean Sea), bottom trawling occurs on the continental slope, but principally ...

An assessment of discarded catches from the bottom pair trawling fishery in southern Brazil
Onboard discards of a fraction of the catch can be considered one of the main issues related to bottom trawling fisheries. The magnitude and composition of the discards still need to be better understood.
