The Psychological Distance of Modern Slavery Risk. [PDF]

Risk Anal
ABSTRACT Modern slavery has become recognized as one of the world's great human rights challenges due to the high prevalence of coercive labor exploitation associated with the production and consumption of many goods and services across the globe. Yet, while its practice is commonly considered to be “unseen” and far removed from many people's everyday ...

Environmental and human factors shape the trophic ecology of a widespread marine predator. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
Our study reveals how environmental factors and fishing pressure influence swordfish diet, highlighting trophic shifts under future climate scenarios. We provide a novel framework to strengthen our ability to plan for and manage the redistribution of species under global change ensuring that the energetic needs of predators are met.

Coupled Multivariate Analyses Reveal Separate Climate and Local Drivers of Temporal and Spatial Change in a Coastal Marine Ecosystem. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
A set of readily available multivariate tools was used in a complementary way to identify and better understand both the inter‐annual and spatial patterns in a fish and mobile invertebrate community in the Peconic Estuary. We found distinctly different drivers for temporal and spatial patterns, with temporal factors operating on a regional scale and ...

Island restoration to rebuild seabird populations and amplify coral reef functioning. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Mobile organisms like seabirds can provide important nutrient flows between ecosystems, but this connectivity has been interrupted by the degradation of island ecosystems. Island restoration (via invasive species eradications and the restoration of native vegetation) can reestablish seabird populations and their nutrient transfers between ...

Comparison of mechanical disturbance in soft sediments due to tickler-chain SumWing trawl vs. electro-fitted PulseWing trawl [PDF]

ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2018
Abstract Tickler-chain SumWing and electrode-fitted PulseWing trawls were compared to assess seabed impacts. Multi-beam echo sounder (MBES) bathymetry confirmed that the SumWing trawl tracks were consistently and uniformly deepened to 1.5 cm depth in contrast to 0.7 cm following PulseWing trawling.

Laboratory study of the impact of repetitive electrical and mechanical stimulation on brown shrimp Crangon crangon [PDF]

, 2016
Pulse trawling is currently the best available alternative to beam trawling in the brown shrimp Crangon crangon and Sole Solea solea (also known as Solea vulgaris) fisheries.

Consumption of shark products: The interface of sustainability, trade (mis)labelling, human health and human rights

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 777-795, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Sharks and rays evolved 450 million years ago, during the Late Ordovician Period. However, during the modern Anthropocene, shark populations have declined at considerable rates, and recent global assessments indicate about one in three species is threatened with extinction.

Industrial fisheries have reversed the carbon sequestration by tuna carcasses into emissions

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 17, Page 5062-5074, September 2023., 2023
Tuna fisheries is a key food production sector that burns fossil fuel to operate but also reduces the deadfall of large‐bodied fish so the capacity of this natural carbon pump to deep sea. Here, we show that most tuna populations became CO2 sources instead of remaining natural sinks across the Pacific since the 1980s under both climate change and ...

A model approach to estimate the hydrodynamic drag and sediment mobilisation applied to tickler chain beam trawls and pulse beam trawls used in the North Sea fishery for sole

, 2020
Bottom trawls impact the seafloor and benthic ecosystem. To estimate the trawling impact, information is required about the dimensions of the gear that determine their footprint, sediment penetration depth and hydrodynamic drag that determines the amount of sediment mobilised in the wake of the trawl. Here we present the dimension of gear components of

Estimating seabed pressure from demersal trawls, seines, and dredges based on gear design and dimensions [PDF]

, 2015
This study assesses the seabed pressure of towed fishing gears and models the physical impact (area and depth of seabed penetration) from trip-based information of vessel size, gear type, and catch. Traditionally fishing pressures are calculated top-down
