Effects of harvesting methods on sustainability of a bay scallop fishery: dredging uproots seagrass and displaces recruits [PDF]
, 2005 Fishing is widely recognized to have profound effects on estuarine and marine ecosystems (Hammer and Jansson, 1993; Dayton et al., 1995). Intense commercial and recreational harvest of valuable species can result in population collapses of target and ...

Bycatch and discard survival rate in a small-scale bivalve dredge fishery along the Algarve coast (southern Portugal) [PDF]
, 2018 Although the bivalve dredge used on the Algarve coast (southern Portugal) is highly selective for the target species, in some periods of the year the bycatch can exceed the catch of the commercial species. The present study aimed to quantify the bycatch

Stabilizing and Destabilizing Breaching Flow Slides
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 As a result of the dilation of soil matrix, dense submarine sand slopes can temporarily be steeper than the natural angle of repose. These slopes gradually fail by the detachment of individual grains and intermittent collapses of small coherent sand ...
