DOI: 10.1016/j.fishres.2020.105537
Abstract: Abstract In the Falkland Islands, the South American fur seal and South American sea lion spatially overlap and interact with bottom-trawling fisheries. Until 2015, interactions of these species with the Patagonian bottom trawl squid fishery… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.oceaneng.2020.106989
Abstract: Abstract A hyper-lift trawl door (HLTD) which is not heavily dependent on the bottom for its hydrodynamic performance was developed for both bottom and midwater trawling. Flume tank experiments were conducted on simplified HLTD models… read more here.

Bottom trawling at Whittard Canyon: Evidence for seabed modification, trawl plumes and food source heterogeneity
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Progress in Oceanography"
DOI: 10.1016/j.pocean.2017.12.010
Abstract: Abstract Fishing vessels are attracted to the dendritic Whittard Canyon system due to the abundance and diversity of species found there. Both midwater and bottom trawling are commonplace, including on deep canyon channel floors. Bottom… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2021eo160667
Abstract: A new model shows that bottom trawling, which stirs up marine sediments as weighted nets scrape the ocean floor, may be releasing more than a billion metric tons of carbon every year. read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-12258-2
Abstract: Marine ecosystems are healthy with a high degree of biodiversity. Assessing how factors affect spatial and temporal patterns of biodiversity is an essential task for the Ecosystem Based Management approach. In this work, we investigated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/srep43332
Abstract: Many studies highlight that fish trawling activities cause seafloor erosion, but the assessment of the remobilization of surface sediments and its relocation is still not well documented. These impacts were examined along the flanks and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00288330.2025.2461290
Abstract: ABSTRACT Anthropogenic impacts are increasingly affecting deep-sea environments, including seafloor sediment disturbances by bottom trawling and seafloor mining. Fieldwork in the ‘Resilience Of Benthic Ecosystems to Sedimentation’ (ROBES) project were conducted in 2018–2020 on the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icesjms/fsaf149
Abstract: Bottom trawling impacts benthic-pelagic coupling and biogeochemical cycling by resuspending particulate organic matter (POM) through the action of bottom-contacting gear. Despite widespread trawling in many shelf seas, its effects on benthic-pelagic exchanges are often overlooked… read more here.
