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 …

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 …

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 …

Management of fisheries around the world is challenged by fishing impacts on habitats,
bycatch species, threatened and endangered species, and even associated ecological …

▪ Abstract The direct effects of marine habitat disturbance by commercial fishing have been
well documented. However, the potential ramifications to the ecological function of seafloor …

Unselective fishing catches non-target organisms as 'bycatch'—an issue of critical ocean
conservation and resource management concern. However, the situation is confused …

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 …

Kongsfjorden is a glacial fjord in the Arctic (Svalbard) that is influenced by both Atlantic and
Arctic water masses and harbours a mixture of boreal and Arctic flora and fauna. Inputs from …

Concepts and theory for the design and application of terrestrial reserves is based on our
understanding of environmental, ecological, and evolutionary processes responsible for …

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 …
