متن کاملEffects of bottom trawling on the benthic assemblages in the south Adriatic Sea (Montenegro)
Trawling remains a controversial method of fishing due to the perceived lack of selectivity of the trawl net, which can result in the capture of a huge quantity and diversity of non-target species, including endangered species, and have a significant effect on the marine ecosystem (KUMAR & DEEPTHI, 2006). Trawl fishing has both direct and indirect impacts on the marine ecosystem as well as on b...
متن کاملEffects of chronic bottom trawling disturbance on benthic biomass, production and size spectra in different habitats
Bottom trawling has widespread impacts on benthic communities and habitats. It is argued that the impact of chronic bottom trawling on benthic infauna depends on the natural disturbance levels to which benthic communities are adapted. We analysed biomass, production and size structure of two communities from a muddy and a sandy habitat, in relation to quantified gradients of trawling disturbanc...

متن کاملInfluence of Bottom Trawling on the Normal- Incidence Reflection Coefficient
A North Sea area characterized by muddy, sandy, and gravelly sediments is surveyed with a single-beam echo sounder operating at 12, 38, and 200 kHz. Closely spaced survey legs and a high repetition rate of five sounder pings per second allow the production of echo energy maps with a high spatial resolution. These energy maps reveal a series of string-like features, which are believed to be due ...
