The ecosystem approach to fisheries management needs information of not just where bottom trawlers operate but also on their impact on the seabed, which is also highly relevant to the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) Descriptor D6, seafloor ...

International Bottom Trawl Survey Working Group (IBTSWG) [PDF]
This report summarises the national contributions in 2018–2019 and the planning for the 2019–2020 surveys coordinated by the International Bottom Trawl Survey Working Group (IBTSWG). In the North Sea, the surveys are performed in quarters (Q) Q1 and Q3 while in the Northeast Atlantic the surveys are conducted in Q1, Q3, and Q4 with a suite of 14 ...

Bottom trawling has widespread impact on the structure and composition of benthic communities. In this study, soft-bottom macrofauna in a heavily trawled area and an adjacent marine park that has been closed to bottom trawling for more than ten years ...

Bottom trawling is known to affect benthic faunal communities but its effects on sediment suspension and seabed biogeochemistry are less well described. In addition, few studies have been carried out in the Baltic Sea, despite decades of trawling in this

Bottom trawl fishing footprints on the world’s continental shelves [PDF]
Significance We conducted a systematic, high-resolution analysis of bottom trawl fishing footprints for 24 regions on continental shelves and slopes of five continents and New Zealand. The proportion of seabed trawled varied >200-fold among regions (from 0.4 to 80.7% of area to a depth of 1,000 m).

The footprint of bottom trawling in European waters: distribution, intensity, and seabed integrity [PDF]
Mapping trawling pressure on the benthic habitats is needed as background to support an ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM). The extent and intensity of bottom trawling on the European continental shelf (0–1000 m) was analyzed from logbook ...

Influence of bottom and sand curtain on hydrodynamic performance of otter boards
Numerical simulation is an important method for calculating the hydrodynamic performance of otter boards used in sea floor trawling. Although such simulations have been explored in prior studies, the effects of the proximity of the otter boards to the ...

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.

Linking Species Functional Traits to Specific Biogeochemical Processes under Trawling Pressure
The impact of otter trawling on the relationship between functional traits of benthic invertebrates and specific biogeochemical processes were investigated in the oligotrophic Cretan Sea.
