2025年3月13日 · Bottom trawling is a destructive method of fishing that involves dragging heavy, weighted nets across the sea floor in an effort to catch fish. It’s popular with commercial fishing companies, because it makes it easy to catch large quantities of fish in one go.

Bottom trawling is trawling (towing a trawl, which is a fishing net) along the seafloor. It is also referred to as "dragging". The scientific community divides bottom trawling into benthic trawling and demersal trawling. Benthic trawling is towing a net at the very bottom of the ocean and demersal trawling is towing a net just above the benthic ...

2014年5月19日 · We show here that bottom trawling along continental slopes has a major impact on deep-sea sedimentary ecosystems, causing their degradation and infaunal depauperation. Deep-sea fisheries, indeed, cause the collapse of benthic biodiversity and ecosystem functions, with potential consequences on the biogeochemical cycles.

2018年4月23日 · UN FAO data shows that deep-sea bottom trawls — fishing 1,300 feet below the ocean's surface and deeper — caught 14 million tons of fish between 1950 and 2015.

2012年9月5日 · We found that trawling-induced sediment displacement and removal from fishing grounds causes the morphology of the deep sea floor to become smoother over time, reducing its original...

2013年9月4日 · Trawling the bottom of the ocean, dragging heavy metal equipment along the seabed at high speed, is the most destructive form of deep-sea fishing in the world. The fishing industry loves it...

We show here that bottom trawling along continental slopes has a major impact on deep-sea sedimentary ecosystems, causing their degradation and infaunal depauperation. Deep-sea fisheries, indeed, cause the collapse of benthic biodiversity and ecosystem functions, with potential consequences on the biogeochemical cycles.

2014年4月29日 · Bottom trawl fishing threatens deep-sea ecosystems, modifying the seafloor morphology and its physical properties, with dramatic consequences on benthic communities.

The Deep Sea Conservation Coalition (DSCC) drives action to protect the ocean depths from bottom trawling, fishing, geoengineering, mining.

2014年5月19日 · Industrial trawling in deeper waters threatens the health of world's oceans. Deep-sea trawling may have "devastating consequences" for marine life, suggests a study of a Mediterranean sea...
