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.

Catch comparison of pulse trawls vessels and a tickler chain beam trawler [PDF]

, 2011
Comparative fishing trials were conducted in May 2011 (week 19) on commercial beam trawlers fishing with conventional tickler chain beam trawls (on MFV GO4), pulse wings made by HFK-Engineering of Baarn, the Netherlands (MFV TX36), and pulse trawls produced by the DELMECO-Group of Goes, the Netherlands (version used on MFV TX68).

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 ...

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.

Internal injuries in marine fishes caught in beam trawls using electrical versus mechanical stimulations [PDF]

, 2023
To improve the ecological and economic sustainability in the Dutch beam trawl fishery, tickler chains were replaced by electrical pulse stimulation to drive common sole (Solea solea) out of the seabed.
