Effects of bottom trawling on the quantity and biochemical composition of organic matter in coastal marine sediments (Thermaikos Gulf, northwestern Aegean Sea)
A Pusceddu, C Fiordelmondo, P Polymenakou… - Continental Shelf …, 2005 - Elsevier
The effects of bottom trawling on quantity and the biochemical composition of sediment
organic matter were assessed, along a gradient of trophic state in a coastal area of the Gulf
of Thermaikos (Aegean Sea). Total organic carbon concentrations and other organic
variables (such as biopolymeric C concentrations) displayed a significant increase
immediately after the initiation of trawling activities, reaching unexpectedly high values when
compared to a control (ie samples collected before trawling events). The lack of significant …
