Effects of chronic bottom trawling on soft-seafloor macrofauna in the Kattegat [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Influence of bottom and sand curtain on hydrodynamic performance of otter boards

open access: yesAquaculture 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 ...

Recovery Signals of Rhodoliths Beds since Bottom Trawling Ban in the SCI Menorca Channel (Western Mediterranean)

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
One of the objectives of the LIFE IP INTEMARES project is to assess the impact of bottom trawling on the vulnerable benthic habitats of the circalittoral bottoms of the Menorca Channel (western Mediterranean), designated a Site of Community Importance ...

Annotated checklist and biodiversity analysis of benthic fauna at Sylt Outer Reef and Borkum Reef Ground (North Sea) [PDF]

open access: yesCheck 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.

Calibration of bottom trawls for northern shrimp [PDF]

open access: yesICES Journal of Marine Science, 2008
Abstract Kingsley, M. C. S., Wieland, K., Bergström, B., and Rosing, M. 2008. Calibration of bottom trawls for northern shrimp. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 65: 873–881. The Skjervøy 3000 trawl used since 1988 in the West Greenland bottom-trawl survey has been replaced by a Cosmos 2000. To be able to compare old data on the northern

Impacts of bycatch from beach seining: a case study of a shrimp fishery in Brazil [PDF]

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
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.

Linking Species Functional Traits to Specific Biogeochemical Processes under Trawling Pressure

open access: yesBiology, 2022
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.

Recovery of tropical marine benthos after a trawl ban demonstrates linkage between abiotic and biotic changes

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
Zhi Wang et al. compare benthic surveys before and after the bottom trawling ban in Hong Kong in 2012 and demonstrate abiotic changes in sediment as well as macrobenthos diversity.

Long-term morphological and sedimentological changes caused by bottom trawling on the northern Catalan continental shelf (NW Mediterranean)

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
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 ...

The footprint of bottom trawling in European waters: distribution, intensity, and seabed integrity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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 ...
