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.

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/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: 10.3389/fmars.2018.00042
Abstract: Bottom trawling and seabed littering are two serious threats to seabed integrity. We present an overview of the distribution of seabed litter and bottom trawling in Norwegian waters (the Norwegian Sea and the southern Barents… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/bg-16-4307-2019
Abstract: Abstract. Bottom trawling in the deep sea is one of the main drivers of sediment resuspension, eroding the seafloor and altering the content and composition of sedimentary organic matter (OM). The physical and biogeochemical impacts… read more here.
