The impact of mobile demersal fishing on carbon storage in seabed sediments
Subtidal marine sediments are one of the planet's primary carbon stores and strongly influence the oceanic sink for atmospheric CO2. By far the most widespread human activity occurring on the seabed is bottom trawling/dredging for fish and shellfish.

Global estimates of fishing gear lost to the ocean each year
Abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) is a major contributor to ocean pollution, with extensive social, economic, and environmental impacts. However, quantitative ALDFG estimates are dated and limited in scope.

Highest risk abandoned, lost and discarded fishing gear
Derelict abandoned, lost and discarded fishing gear have profound adverse effects. We assessed gear-specific relative risks from derelict gear to rank-order fishing methods based on: derelict gear production rates, gear quantity indicators of catch ...

Endotoxin recognition: In fish or not in fish? [PDF]
The interaction between pathogens and their multicellular hosts is initiated by activation of pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs). These receptors, that include most notably members of the toll‐like receptor (TLR) family, recognize specific pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). TLR4 is a central part of the receptor complex that is involved

Bioorthogonal chemistry: fishing for selectivity in a sea of functionality.
The study of biomolecules in their native environments is a challenging task because of the vast complexity of cellular systems. Technologies developed in the last few years for the selective modification of biological species in living systems have ...

Fish and Fishing in the Roman World [PDF]
This article focuses on two aspects related to fish and fishing. It first discusses the social context for the consumption of preserved and fresh fish, showing that generally consumption of certain types of fresh fish conferred status, whereas consumption of preserved fish, being more affordable, was attested across social strata.
