Persistence of Biogeochemical Alterations of Deep‐Sea Sediments by Bottom Trawling
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.

Impacts of Bottom Trawling and Litter on the Seabed in Norwegian Waters [PDF]
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).

Impact of bottom trawling on sediment biogeochemistry: a modelling approach [PDF]
Bottom trawling in shelf seas can occur more than 10 times per year for a given location. This affects the benthic metabolism, through a mortality of the macrofauna, resuspension of organic matter from the sediment, and alterations of the physical ...

Acute-Stress Biomarkers in Three Octopodidae Species After Bottom Trawling [PDF]
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 ...

Physical impact of bottom trawling on seafloor sediments in the German North Sea
Bottom trawling is a well-known global phenomenon and has significant physical impact on the seabed habitat, such as compression, displacement and mobilization of the sediment.

Bottom Trawling Threatens Future Climate Refugia of Rhodoliths Globally
Climate driven range shifts are driving the redistribution of marine species and threatening the functioning and stability of marine ecosystems. For species that are the structural basis of marine ecosystems, such effects can be magnified into drastic ...

Distribution of Bottom Trawling Effort in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea. [PDF]
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 (
