Ecological Indicators, 2023 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 ...

Cable length optimization for trawl fuel consumption reduction [PDF]
, 2013 A numerical method for optimization of the cable lengths in trawls with respect to the ratio between the estimated trawl drag and the predicted catch efficiency is developed and applied.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 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

Natural occuring oil seepages as a consequence of bottom trawling? [PDF]
, 2023 Bottom trawling is used to capture fish species that live in the seabed. The damage on the seabed trawling causes has been discussed for many years. This thesis aims to investigate whether bottom trawling for sand eels can be a cause for some of the ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 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 ...

Effects of chronic bottom trawling on soft-seafloor macrofauna in the Kattegat [PDF]
, 2018 Impact studies of chronic bottom trawling aiming to reveal long-term effects on benthic organisms are often hampered by the lack of comparable untrawled conditions and the difficulty in assessing the spatial distribution of trawling intensity. We sampled

, 2023 This research analyses the nature of human dependence on bottom trawling as a necessary precursor to constraining its impact. Bottom trawling involves dragging a weighted net along the seabed, catching and/or damaging every organism in its path.

Influence of bottom and sand curtain on hydrodynamic performance of otter boards
Aquaculture and Fisheries, 2023 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]
Check List, 2022 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.
