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 …

Thresholds for ecological responses to global change do not emerge from empirical data
To understand ecosystem responses to anthropogenic global change, a prevailing
framework is the definition of threshold levels of pressure, above which response …

Trawl impacts on the relative status of biotic communities of seabed sedimentary habitats in 24 regions worldwide
CR Pitcher, JG Hiddink, S Jennings… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
Bottom trawling is widespread globally and impacts seabed habitats. However, risks from
