Journal ArticleDOI
Man and the last great wilderness: human impact on the deep sea.
Eva Ramirez-Llodra,Paul A. Tyler,Maria Baker,Odd Aksel Bergstad,Malcolm R. Clark,Elva Escobar,Lisa A. Levin,Lenaick Menot,Ashley A. Rowden,Craig R. Smith,Cindy Lee Van Dover +10 more
TL;DR: The analysis shows how the most significant anthropogenic activities that affect the deep sea have evolved from mainly disposal to exploitation and predicts that from now and into the future, increases in atmospheric CO2 and facets of climate change will have the most impact on deep-sea habitats and their fauna.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ecology of seamounts: structure, function, and human impacts.
Malcolm R. Clark,Ashley A. Rowden,Thomas A. Schlacher,Alan Williams,Mireille Consalvey,Karen I. Stocks,Alex Rogers,Timothy D. O'Hara,Martin White,Timothy M. Shank,Jason M. Hall-Spencer +10 more
TL;DR: This review of seamount ecology addresses a number of key scientific issues concerning the structure and function of benthic communities, human impacts, and seamount management and conservation.
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
Sustainability of deep-sea fisheries
Elliott A. Norse,Sandra Brooke,William W. L. Cheung,Malcolm R. Clark,Ivar Ekeland,Rainer Froese,Kristina M. Gjerde,Richard L. Haedrich,Selina S. Heppell,Telmo Morato,Telmo Morato,Lance Morgan,Daniel Pauly,Rashid Sumaila,Reg Watson +14 more
TL;DR: The authors in this paper show that the combination of very low target population productivity, nonselective fishing gear, economics that favor population liquidation and a very weak regulatory regime makes deep-sea fisheries unsustainable with very few exceptions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting global habitat suitability for stony corals on seamounts
Derek P. Tittensor,Derek P. Tittensor,Amy R. Baco,Paul E. Brewin,Malcolm R. Clark,Mireille Consalvey,Jason M. Hall-Spencer,Ashley A. Rowden,Thomas A. Schlacher,Karen I. Stocks,Alex Rogers +10 more
TL;DR: Two modelling approaches developed for presence-only data were used to predict global habitat suitability for seamount scleractinians: maximum entropy modelling (Maxent) and environmental niche factor analysis (ENFA).
