Scallop dredging has profound, long-term impacts on maerl habitats
Maerl beds are mixed sediments built by a surface layer of slow-growing, unattached coralline algae that are of international conservation significance because they create areas of high biodiversity. They are patchily distributed throughout Europe (to 30 m depth around the British Isles and to 120 m depth in the Mediterranean) and many are affected by towed demersal fishing. We report the effec...
متن کاملAn experimental study of the ecological impacts of hydraulic bivalve dredging on maerl
A short-term experiment to assess the ecological impact of a hydraulic blade dredge on a maerl community was carried out during November 2001 in the Clyde Sea area on the west coast of Scotland. A fluorescent sediment tracer was used to label deadmaerl, which was then spread out on the surface of sediment to act as a proxy for livingmaerl. The fauna collected by the dredge was dominated by the ...
متن کاملShort-Term Antibiotic Treatment Has Differing Long-Term Impacts on the Human Throat and Gut Microbiome
Antibiotic administration is the standard treatment for the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, the main causative agent of peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. However, the long-term consequences of this treatment on the human indigenous microbiota are relatively unexplored. Here we studied short- and long-term effects of clarithromycin and metronidazole treatment, a commonly used therapy regim...
متن کاملMobile Fishing Gear Effects on Benthic Habitats: A Bibliography (Second Edition)
This document reviews the results of a workshop on scallop biology and the effects of scallop dredging on benthic communities. The workshop was held in Kodiak, Alaska, during 10-12 June 1999. A review of the history of the Alaskan weathervane scallop fishery was presented. Other speakers presented papers on scallop biology and fisheries in other cold-water areas. Topics of the papers included p...
متن کاملAnalyzing Impacts of FACTS Devices in Dealing with Short-Term and Long-Term Wind Turbine Faults
More than one hundred countries are using wind energy due to their easy implementation, cheap energy, and high energy efficiency. Implementation of FACTS devices in Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) has been dramatically improved due to cooperative and accurate performance of FACTS devices. However, dealing with wind turbine faults promptly is crucial. Short-term and long-term faults may ha...
