Journal ArticleDOI
Submarine canyons: hotspots of benthic biomass and productivity in the deep sea
TL;DR: It is shown that deep-sea canyons such as the Kaikoura Canyon on the eastern New Zealand margin can sustain enormous biomasses of infaunal megabenthic invertebrates over large areas, and is one of the most productive habitats described so far in the deep sea.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impacts of deep-sea fisheries on benthic communities: a review
Malcolm R. Clark,Franziska Althaus,Thomas A. Schlacher,Alan Williams,David A. Bowden,Ashley A. Rowden +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that bottom trawling over hard seabed (common on seamounts) routinely removes most of the benthic fauna, resulting in declines in faunal biodiversity, cover and abundance, which translates into loss of biogenic habitat from potentially large areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal Vents and Methane Seeps: Rethinking the Sphere of Influence
Lisa A. Levin,Amy R. Baco,David A. Bowden,Ana Colaço,Erik E. Cordes,Marina R. Cunha,Amanda W.J. Demopoulos,Judith Gobin,Benjamin M. Grupe,Jennifer T. Le,Anna Metaxas,Amanda N. Netburn,Greg W. Rouse,Andrew R. Thurber,Verena Tunnicliffe,Cindy Lee Van Dover,Ann Vanreusel,Les Watling +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize current knowledge of the nature, extent and time and space scales of vent and seep interactions with background systems, and document an expanded footprint beyond the site of local venting or seepage with respect to elemental cycling and energy flux, habitat use, trophic interactions, and connectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seamount megabenthic assemblages fail to recover from trawling impacts.
Alan Williams,Thomas A. Schlacher,Ashley A. Rowden,Franziska Althaus,Malcolm R. Clark,David A. Bowden,R Stewart,Nicholas J. Bax,Mireille Consalvey,Rudy J. Kloser +9 more
TL;DR: Network of spatial closures that include intact habitats over a range of depths, especially <1500 m, and on clusters and isolated seamounts, may be effective by maintaining the resilience of seamount benthic communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of patch size and in-patch location on the infaunal macroinvertebrate assemblages of Zostera marina seagrass beds.
TL;DR: Seagrass patch size and edge-effects appear to be less significant than 'regional' factors, which relate to relatively small variation in environmental parameters, for the structuring of infaunal macroinvertebrate assemblages.
