Effects of chronic bottom trawling disturbance on benthic biomass, production and size spectra in different habitats (2006, methodology): “A sizebased model developed by Duplisea et al. (2002) was used to assess the trawling impacts on the benthos and indicated that smaller animals are unlikely to have the capacity to utilize all the resources that become available when the abundance of large body-sized competitors is reduced.”
Cumulative impacts of seabed trawl disturbance on benthic biomass, production, and species richness in different habitats (2006, methodology): “The original model (Duplisea et al. 2002), which did not include habitat features, could not explain large-scale patterns in benthic biomass.”
Fishing effects on diversity, size and community structure of the benthic invertebrate and fish megafauna on the Bay of Biscay coast of France (2004, background): “Hence, fishing activity may change the community size spectrum structure (Rice & Gislason 1996, Bianchi et al. 2000, Duplisea et al. 2002).”
Indicators to support an ecosystem approach to fisheries (2005, background): “…focus of many studies of the ecosystem impacts of fishing, such as the impacts of trawling frequency on benthic invertebrate biomass and production (Duplisea et al. 2002), the impacts of fishing mortality on community metrics (Benoit and Rochet 2004; Pope et al. 2004), the impacts of mortality in…”
