Estimating Collateral Mortality from Towed Fishing Gear (2006, background): “In recent years, studies have provided overwhelming evidence of the potential for cumulative influences of the various components and subcomponents listed above on the total fishing mortality of organisms encountering towed gears, including mortality due to ghost fishing (Laist 1996) and especially ”
Is the meiofauna a good indicator for climate change and anthropogenic impacts? (2015, background): “For nematodes, trawling has been shown to have either a positive (Pranovi et al. 2000; Liu et al. 2009, 2011), negative (Schratzberger et al. 2002; Hinz et al. 2008) or minor impact on community structure (Schratzberger et al. 2002; Lampadariou et al. 2005).”
Impacts of chronic trawling disturbance on meiofaunal communities (2002, methodology): “The results of this study contrasted with the results of a previous small-scale experimental study, where seasonal impacts on assemblage structure were greater than those attributed to trawling, and shows why uncritical extrapolation of results from small-scale studies to larger scales should be avo”
