Indicators for Sea-floor Integrity under the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2012, background): “…pressure indicators present the advantages of being easy to understand and communicate, and can be quick to respond to changes in management action (Hiddink et al. 2006b).. Response indicators relevant to the seafloor include fisheries management responses (e.g. limits on fleet capacity and…”
Effects of chronic bottom trawling disturbance on benthic biomass, production and size spectra in different habitats (2006, background): “A less detailed analysis of the effect of trawling on benthic invertebrate communities in the Dogger Bank area is presented elsewhere ( Hiddink et al., in press ).”
Linking temperate demersal fish species to habitat: scales, patterns and future directions (2013, background): “The modification and degradation of habitats associated with bottom fishing can have long-term consequences for benthic biota, reducing productivity, biomass and species richness (Hiddink et al. 2006; Queiros et al. 2006; Hinz et al. 2009).”
