Calls to curb deep-ocean trawling
Scientists have called for subsidies paid out to a handful of national deep-sea fishing fleets to be stopped immediately in yet another plea to prevent permanent ecological damage and the extinction of some of the longest living creatures on the planet. Without the $150 million of subsidies paid annually, deep-sea fisheries would operate at a loss of $50 million, researchers believe. But the te...

متن کاملBottom-trawling along submarine canyons impacts deep sedimentary regimes
Many studies highlight that fish trawling activities cause seafloor erosion, but the assessment of the remobilization of surface sediments and its relocation is still not well documented. These impacts were examined along the flanks and axes of three headless submarine canyons incised on the Barcelona continental margin, where trawling fleets have been operating for decades. Trawled grounds alo...
متن کاملTrophic look at soft-bottom communities — Short-term effects of trawling cessation on benthos
a r t i c l e i n f o The trophic structure of the German Bight soft-bottom benthic community was evaluated for potential changes after cessation of bottom trawling. Species were collected with van-Veen grabs and beam trawls. Trophic position (i.e. nitrogen stable isotope ratios, δ 15 N) and energy flow (i.e. species metabolism approximated by body mass scaled abundance) of dominant species wer...
متن کاملProcess-driven and biological characterisation and mapping of seabed habitats sensitive to trawling
The increase of anthropogenic pressures on the marine environment together with the necessity of a sustainable management of marine living resources have underlined the need to map and model coastal environments, particularly for the purposes of spatial planning and for the implementation of integrated ecosystem-based management approach. The present study compares outputs of a process-driven b...
