Effects of bottom trawling and hypoxia on benthic invertebrate communities [PDF]

, 2022
Marine benthic habitats in continental shelf regions are increasingly impacted by hypoxia caused by the combination of eutrophication and climate warming.

Assessing the impact of trawling on benthic megafauna: comparative study of video surveys vs. scientific trawling [PDF]

, 2021
Most studies about benthic community use small-scale sampling methods focused on the infauna such as grabs or box-corers. The benthic data collected by scientific trawl surveys in all European waters, in the frame of the Common Fishery Policy Data ...

Determining and mapping species sensitivity to trawling impacts: the BEnthos Sensitivity Index to Trawling Operations (BESITO) [PDF]

, 2018
Applying an ecosystem approach requires a deep and holistic understanding of interactions between human activities and ecosystems. Bottom trawling is the most widespread physical human disturbance in the seabed and produces a wide range of direct and ...

High Mobility and Flexibility in the Habitat Use of Early Juvenile Pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) Based on a Mark-Recapture Experiment

Diversity, 2023
Disentangling the role of factors responsible for juvenile fish dispersal is essential to understand the ecology of individual species, setting the corresponding conservation status and evaluating the potential risk in case of invasion.

Quantity and biochemical composition of particulate organic matter in a highly trawled area (Thermaikos Gulf, Eastern Mediterranean Sea)

Advances in Oceanography and Limnology, 2015
Bottom trawling represents nowadays one of the most severe anthropogenic disturbances at sea, and determines large impacts on benthic communities and processes.

Spatial Management Units as an Ecosystem-Based Approach for Managing Bottom-Towed Fisheries in the Central Mediterranean Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Marine ecosystems are being continually impacted by human activities and, among these, fisheries have been one of the most damaging. Fisheries modify the structure and functioning of food-webs through biomass removal and physical damage to the seabed ...

Assessing the potential vulnerability of sedimentary carbon stores to bottom trawling disturbance within the UK EEZ

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
It is estimated that within the UK exclusive economic zone (UK EEZ), 524 Mt of organic carbon (OC) is stored within seabed sediment. However, the stability and potential vulnerability of OC in these sediments under anthropogenic stressors, such as bottom

Stable isotopes reveal the effect of trawl fisheries on the diet of commercially exploited species

Scientific Reports, 2017
Bottom trawling can change food availability for benthivorous demersal species by (i) changing benthic prey composition through physical seabed impacts and (ii) by removing overall benthic consumer biomass increasing the net availability of benthic prey ...

Trawling-induced change in benthic effect trait composition – A multiple case study

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionThe importance of the response-effect trait dichotomy in marine benthic ecology has garnered recent attention. Response traits, characterising species responses to environmental variations, have been a dominant focus in the development of ...

Modelling potential impacts of bottom trawl fisheries on soft sediment biogeochemistry in the North Sea†

Geochemical Transactions, 2001
Bottom trawling causes physical disturbance to sediments particularly in shelf areas. The disturbance due to trawling is most significant in deeper areas with softer sediments where levels of natural disturbance due to wave and tidal action are low.
