Immediate effect of trawling on sea bottom & its living communities along Kerala coast- Winter School on Towards Ecosystem Based Management of Marine Fisheries – Building Mass Balance Trophic and Simulation Models [PDF]
, 2004 Otter trawling, the most widely used towed bottom fishing gear, is known to have a wide range of impact on benthos. Seabed disturbance by mobile bottom fishing gear has emerged as a major concern related to the conservation of essential fish habitat ...

Deep refuges: the distribution of marine fish in warming subtropics
Ecography, EarlyView.In light of global climate change, identifying critical marine habitats and conserving them is essential. Marine conservation planning recommends designating cooler habitats as marine protected areas. The ‘deep‐reef refugia' hypothesis suggests that deeper, suitable habitats may allow species to undergo the evolutionary changes necessary to adapt to ...

Efficiency of the bottom trawl used for the Mediterranean International Trawl Survey (MEDITS) [PDF]
, 1999 The aim of the work presented in this paper was to assess the relative efficiency of the GOC 73 sampling trawl used for the Mediterranean international trawl survey programme (MEDITS) compared with that of a typical Italian commercial trawl. The latter was chosen because it is commonly used by fishermen in the central Adriatic, where the experiment was

Predicting oxygen thresholds of marine taxa to improve ecological forecasts
Ecography, EarlyView.Species' ranges are shifting in response to increasing temperature and decreasing oxygen in coastal oceans. Predicting these shifts is limited by information on physiological oxygen thresholds and how they depend on temperature. Here we collate laboratory‐derived measurements of a common oxygen threshold, pcrit, for 148 animal species that span six ...

EcosphereChondrichthyans (sharks, rays, skates, and chimaeras) make up one of the oldest and most ecologically diverse vertebrate groups, yet they face severe threats from fishing, necessitating improved management strategies. To effectively manage these species,

Atmospheric CO2 emissions and ocean acidification from bottom-trawling
Frontiers in Marine ScienceTrawling the seafloor can disturb carbon that took millennia to accumulate, but the fate of that carbon and its impact on climate and ecosystems remains unknown.

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.This study assessed toxic metals in five dried marine fish species from Bangladesh. Although most metals were within safe limits, chromium (Cr) consistently exceeded FAO/WHO standards, especially at Kuakata Beach. The findings highlight localized contamination hotspots and species‐specific bioaccumulation, while risk assessment supports the safety and ...

Environmental DNA from Seawater Samples Correlate with Trawl Catches of Subarctic, Deepwater Fishes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Remote polar and deepwater fish faunas are under pressure from ongoing climate change and increasing fishing effort. However, these fish communities are difficult to monitor for logistic and financial reasons.

Effect of bottom trawling on physico-chemical parameters, benthos and fish fauna of Mangalore Coast, Karnataka State [PDF]
, 2012 Trawling, the most efficient method of catching fish world over is also found to be the most important human caused physical disturbance on the world's continental shelves and hence the physical destruction of ecosystems.Trawl gears often catch ...
