eDNA metabarcoding enriches traditional trawl survey data for monitoring biodiversity in the marine environment

ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2023
Marine Protected Areas require comprehensive monitoring to ensure objectives are achieved; however, monitoring natural ecosystems at scale is challenged by the biodiversity it aims to measure.

Trawl impacts on the relative status of biotic communities of seabed sedimentary habitats in 24 regions worldwide

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022
Significance We estimated the biological state of seabed sedimentary habitats, with specified uncertainty, in 24 trawled regions worldwide. Seabed status differed greatly among regions (from 0.25 to 0.999, relative to an untrawled state of 1); 15 regions

Recovery of tropical marine benthos after a trawl ban demonstrates linkage between abiotic and biotic changes

Communications Biology, 2021
Bottom trawling, which is highly detrimental to seabed habitats, has been banned in some jurisdictions to mitigate the problems of habitat destruction and overfishing.

An overview of bottom trawl selectivity in the Mediterranean Sea

Mediterranean Marine Science, 2021
In the Mediterranean Sea, where bottom trawling for demersal species is the most important fishery in terms of landings, around 75% of the assessed fish stocks are overfished.

Sediment mobilization by bottom trawls: a model approach applied to the Dutch North Sea beam trawl fishery

ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2021
Bottom trawls impact the seafloor and benthic ecosystem. One of the direct physical impacts is the mobilization of sediment in the wake of trawl gear components that are in contact with or are close to the seabed.

Use of artificial illumination to reduce Pacific halibut bycatch in a U.S. West Coast groundfish Bottom trawl

Fisheries Research, 2021
In the U.S. West Coast groundfish bottom trawl fishery, Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) bycatch can impact some fishers’ ability to fully utilize their quota shares of groundfishes.

The MEDITS trawl survey specifications in an ecosystem approach to fishery management

Scientia Marina, 2020
The MEDITS programme started in 1994 in the Mediterranean with the cooperation among research institutes from four countries: France, Greece, Italy and Spain. Over the years, until the advent of the European framework for the collection and management of

Trawl fishing impacts on the status of seabed fauna in diverse regions of the globe

Fish and Fisheries, 2020
Bottom trawl fishing is a controversial activity. It yields about a quarter of the world's wild seafood, but also has impacts on the marine environment. Recent advances have quantified and improved understanding of large-scale impacts of trawling on the ...
