Global analysis of depletion and recovery of seabed biota after bottom trawling disturbance
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 …

The impacts of deep-sea fisheries on benthic communities: a review
Deep-sea fisheries operate globally throughout the world's oceans, chiefly targeting stocks
on the upper and mid-continental slope and offshore seamounts. Major commercial fisheries …

The importance of benthic–pelagic coupling for marine ecosystem functioning in a changing world
Benthic–pelagic coupling is manifested as the exchange of energy, mass, or nutrients
between benthic and pelagic habitats. It plays a prominent role in aquatic ecosystems, and it …

The impact of mobile demersal fishing on carbon storage in seabed sediments
Subtidal marine sediments are one of the planet's primary carbon stores and strongly
influence the oceanic sink for atmospheric CO2. By far the most widespread human activity …

Little evidence of benthic community resilience to bottom trawling on seamounts after 15 years
The resilience and recovery dynamics of deep-sea habitats impacted by bottom trawling are
poorly known. This paper reports on a fishing impact recovery comparison based on four …

Similar effects of bottom trawling and natural disturbance on composition and function of benthic communities across habitats
Bottom trawl fishing has widespread impacts on benthic habitats and communities. The
benthic response to trawling seems to be smaller or absent in areas exposed to high natural …

Evaluating the relative conservation value of fully and partially protected marine areas
The establishment of marine protected areas (MPA s), particularly of no‐take areas, is often
viewed as a conflict between conservation and fishing. Partially protected areas (PPA s) that …

Evaluating the biological effectiveness of fully and partially protected marine areas
Abstract Background Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) encompass a range of protection
levels, from fully protected no-take areas to restriction of only particular activities, gear types …

Mapping fisheries for marine spatial planning: Gear-specific vessel monitoring system (VMS), marine conservation and offshore renewable energy
Abstract Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) data from 2005 to 2008 in ICES Divisions VIIe-h
were used to assess the distribution and intensity of fishing activity in and around the …
