The impact of Rapido trawling for scallops, Pecten jacobaeus (L.), on the benthos of the Gulf of Venice [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Rapido trawls are used to catch sole around the coast of Italy and to catch scallops in the northern Adriatic Sea but little is known about the environmental impact of this gear.

The effective swept volume of a bottom trawl

open access: yes, 2004
No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The reaction of individual fish towards an approaching trawling vessel has previously been measured using target-tracking methods. In this paper these measured velocities are fitted to a deterministic mean behaviour model and a diffusion-advection model taking the random component into ...

Advancing Ecological Understanding and Sustainable Management of Small Pelagic Fish

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Small pelagic fish (SPF) are critical to the trophodynamic structure and function of marine systems and support some of the most valuable and socially important fisheries worldwide. Their “boom and bust” population dynamics, shifts in distribution, and importance as forage resources for other fish stocks place unique challenges to assessing ...

What AIS misses and Acoustics reveal: Monitoring seafloor disturbance and recovery from bottom trawling in the southern Baltic Sea over five years

open access: yesEcological Informatics
This study evaluates bottom trawling intensity and its ecological effects in the Fehmarn Belt (southern Baltic Sea) between 2020 and 2024. The region is dominated by small-scale fishing vessels (

Distribution of skates and sharks in the North Sea: 112 years of change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
How have North Sea skate and shark assemblages changed since the early 20th century when bottom trawling became widespread, whilst their environment became increasingly impacted by fishing, climate change, habitat degradation and other anthropogenic ...

Using Stock Vulnerability to Evaluate Fishery‐Independent Survey Coverage and Inform Sampling Priorities

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The consequences of mis‐managing vulnerable stocks (i.e., those with low productivity and high susceptibility to depletion) are high and potentially permanent. To support sustainable fisheries management, stock assessments can be improved by increasing the quantity and quality of fishery‐independent survey (i.e., survey) data.

Causal Models as a Scientific Framework for Next‐Generation Ecosystem and Climate‐Linked Stock Assessments

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid changes in marine ecosystems highlight the need to account for time‐varying productivity in stock assessments used to support fisheries management. Common approaches incorporate annual variation or regressing processes such as recruitment, natural mortality, or growth on environmental variables.

The effect of pulse stimulation on marine biota - Research in relation to ICES advice - Progress report on the effects on benthic invertebrates [PDF]

open access: yes
In response to ecosystem related concerns about bottom trawling and particularly beam trawling that were raised by various scientists in the last decades of the previous century.

The value of bottom trawling in Europe

open access: yes
Abstract Commercial bottom trawl and dredge fisheries are active across much of Europe, and their geographic footprint is extensive. More than half of seabed area is trawled every year in some parts of Europe. But these fisheries remain contentious; significant ecological and economic damages have been well documented. Yet, they remain a source

A Framework to Investigate the Effects of Observation Error on Neural Network Predictions of Fish Age

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological innovations for predicting fish age represent a paradigm shift from conventional age estimation methods used in fisheries science. Recently developed secondary methods rely on models trained on conventional age estimates, derived from subjective interpretation of growth patterns and a biological property of the fish to predict ...
