A Brief History of Bycatch Management Measures for Eastern Bering Sea Groundfish Fisheries [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Bycatch management measures instituted for groundfish fisheries of the eastern Bering Sea have focused on reducing the incidental capture and injury of species traditionally harvested by other fisheries.

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Deep-sea coral distribution on seamounts, oceanic islands, and continental slopes in the Northeast Atlantic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A database of deep-water (\u3e 200 m) antipatharians, scleractinians, and gorgonians has been assembled for the NE Atlantic to determine what their distribution and diversity was before coral habitats became heavily impacted by bottom fishing gear ...

Distribution of skates and sharks in the North Sea: 112 years of change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
How have North Sea skate and shark assemblages changed since the early 20th century when bottom trawling became widespread, whilst their environment became increasingly impacted by fishing, climate change, habitat degradation and other anthropogenic ...

The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Effects of Trawling on Seamounts [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2010
Trawling involves the towing of nets through the water or along the seafloor to sieve out fish and marine invertebrates. It is the most widely used method to catch fish throughout the world, and there are many variations in gear design and towing methods.

Distribution of Bottom Trawling Effort in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Bottom trawling is one of the most efficient fishing activities, but serious and persistent ecological issues have been observed by fishers, scientists and fishery managers. Although China has applied the Beidou fishing vessel position monitoring system (

Long-term trajectory of some elasmobranch species off the Tuscany coasts (NW Mediterranean) from 50 years of catch data

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2013
The time series of elasmobranch catch rates off the Tuscany coasts (NW Mediterranean) were investigated by means of min/max auto-correlation factor analysis in order to estimate variations in population abundance and evaluate the influence of ...
