Book ChapterDOI
The effects of fishing on marine ecosystems
Simon Jennings,Michel J. Kaiser +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of fishing on benthic fauna, habitat, diversity, community structure and trophic interactions in tropical, temperate and polar marine environments and consider whether it is possible to predict or manage fishing-induced changes in marine ecosystems.
Book
Marine Fisheries Ecology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an introduction to marine fisheries ecology and production processes, life histories and distribution of fishes, and their interaction with birds and mammals, as well as a role for aquaculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
A quantitative analysis of fishing impacts on shelf-sea benthos
TL;DR: It is shown that inter-tidal dredging and scallop dredging have the greatest initial effects on benthic biota, while trawling has less effect, and fauna in stable gravel, mud and biogenic habitats are more adversely affected than those in less consolidated coarse sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global analysis of response and recovery of benthic biota to fishing
Michel J. Kaiser,K.R. Clarke,Hilmar Hinz,Melanie C. Austen,Paul J. Somerfield,Ioannis Karakassis +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis of 101 different bottom-fishing gear impacts on the seabed and its biota was carried out and the direct effects of different types of fishing gear were strongly habitat-specific, with the most severe impact occurring in biogenic habitats in response to scallop-dredging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic bottom trawling alters the functional composition of benthic invertebrate communities on a sea-basin scale
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that chronic bottom trawling can lead to large scale shifts in the functional composition of benthic communities, with likely effects on the functioning of coastal ecosystems.
