Demersal fishery Impacts on Sedimentary Organic Matter (DISOM): a global harmonized database of studies assessing the impacts of demersal fisheries on sediment biogeochemistry [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2023 Marine sediments are among the largest carbon reservoirs on the planet and play a key role in the global cycling of organic matter. Bottom fisheries are the most widespread anthropogenic physical disturbance to seabed habitats, prompting NGOs and ...

Viability and Management Targets of Mediterranean Demersal Fisheries: The Case of the Aegean Sea. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Management of the Mediterranean demersal stocks has proven challenging mainly due to the multi-species character of the fisheries. In the present work, we focus on the multi-species demersal fisheries of the Aegean Sea (eastern Mediterranean) aiming to ...

SMART: a spatially explicit bio-economic model for assessing and managing demersal fisheries, with an application to italian trawlers in the strait of sicily. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Management of catches, effort and exploitation pattern are considered the most effective measures to control fishing mortality and ultimately ensure productivity and sustainability of fisheries. Despite the growing concerns about the spatial dimension of

Towards sustainable demersal fisheries: NepCon image acquisition system for automatic Nephrops norvegicus detection. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2021 Underwater video monitoring systems are being widely used in fisheries to investigate fish behavior in relation to fishing gear and fishing gear performance during fishing. Such systems can be useful to evaluate the catch composition as well. In demersal

Reducing plastic pollution caused by demersal fisheries.
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2023 Marine microplastics generated by wear and tear of bottom trawls and demersal seines during their service life is a growing environmental concern that requires immediate attention. In Norway, these fishing gears account for more than 70 % of the landings

Hind-casting the quantity and composition of discards by mixed demersal fisheries in the North Sea. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2015 Many commercial fisheries seek to maximise the economic value of the catch that they bring ashore and market for human consumption by discarding undersize or low value fish.

Factors affecting greenhouse gas emissions in fisheries: evidence from Iceland's demersal fisheries
ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2021 Fishing produces low CO2 emissions per unit output compared to other animal protein sources. However, emissions from fishing grew by 28% from 1990 to 2011 and fishing currently contributes about 4% of the emissions of world food production. The purpose
