Bottom trawling is the most widespread human activity affecting seabed habitats. Here, we
collate all available data for experimental and comparative studies of trawling impacts on …

Offshore oil and gas platforms are found on continental shelves throughout the world's
oceans. Over the course of their decades-long life-spans, these platforms become …

Bottom trawlers land around 19 million tons of fish and invertebrates annually, almost one-
quarter of wild marine landings. The extent of bottom trawling footprint (seabed area trawled …

Mapping trawling pressure on the benthic habitats is needed as background to support an
ecosystem approach to fisheries management. The extent and intensity of bottom trawling …

Bottom trawling is widespread globally and impacts seabed habitats. However, risks from
trawling remain unquantified at large scales in most regions. We address these issues by …

We review the effects of fishing on benthic fauna, habitat, diversity, community structure and
trophic interactions in tropical, temperate and polar marine environments and consider …

This study assesses the seabed pressure of towed fishing gears and models the physical
impact (area and depth of seabed penetration) from trip-based information of vessel size …

This topical and exciting textbook describes fisheries exploitation, biology, conservation and
management, and reflects many recent and important changes in fisheries science. These …

Human impacts on the world's oceans have been substantial, leading to concerns about the
extinction of marine taxa. We have compiled 133 local, regional and global extinctions of …

The effects of towed bottom‐fishing gear on benthic communities is the subject of heated
debate, but the generality of trawl effects with respect to gear and habitat types is poorly …
