Seasonal swimming behaviour in the queen scallop (Aequipecten opercularis) and its effect on dredge fisheries. (2003, positive): “Improving the efficiency of demersal fishing techniques such as dredging, which is among the most damaging to benthic communities (Dayton et al., 1995; Collie et al., 2000), will allow lower fishing effort for the same yield.”
Dredging for edible cockles (Cerastoderma edule) on intertidal flats: short-term consequences of fisher patch-choice decisions for target and non-target benthic fauna (2007, background): “A previous meta-analysis on the impact of mechanical fisheries on non-target species also noted that species from coarser sediments were less likely to be affected (Collie et al. 2000).”
Chronic fishing disturbance has changed shelf sea benthic community structure (2000, background): “Mobile bottom ®shing gears are used on every continental shelf in the world (Collie et al. 2000).”
On some hypotheses of diversity of animal life at great depths on the sea floor (2015, background): “Experimental data from shallow-water benthic systems indicate that assemblages in fine-grained, relatively stable (‘muddy’) habitats recover more slowly than those in coarser sands (Collie et al. 2000; Dernie et al. 2003).”
Marine benthic ecological functioning over decreasing taxonomic richness (2015, background): “In this study, the decrease in taxa represents a natural decline on a large scale, but the level (percentage) of decrease can also be compared to shorter timescale reductions caused by anthropogenic pressures such as organic enrichment or hypoxia (Diaz and Rosenberg, 1995; Heip, 1995) or fishing and”
Burdens of evidence and the benefits of marine reserves: putting Descartes before des horse? (2003, background): “It is logically true that preventing fishing in particular areas will eliminate direct fishing mortality and stop the destruction of habitat caused by contact fishing gears (Collie et al. 2000).”
Shellfish Fishery Severely Reduces Condition and Survival of Oystercatchers Despite Creation of Large Marine Protected Areas (2004, background): “The efficiency of the fishing industry and its potential ecological impact on marine environments have increased dramatically in recent decades as a result of technical innovations (Collie et al. 2000, Jackson et al. 2001).”
Effects of chronic bottom trawling disturbance on benthic biomass, production and size spectra in different habitats (2006, background): “The smaller organisms that are less vulnerable to trawl disturbance generally have a higher annual reproductive output (Brey, 2001) and higher intrinsic rates of natural increase, both of which decrease with body-size within a population (Brey, 1999; Collie et al., 2000; Duplisea et al., 2002).”
Impacts of trawling and scallop dredging on benthic habitats and communities (2005, background): “Gear type and the nature of the sea bed are two factors that seem to have a great influence on the level of disturbance caused by fishing activity (Collie et al., 2000).”
