Trophic relationships in a deep Mediterranean cold-water coral bank (Santa Maria di Leuca, Ionian Sea) (2009, background): “CWC are, however, under increasing anthropogenic threats, e.g. directly from deep trawling (Fosså et al. 2002), gas and oil exploitation, or indirectly from ocean acidification (Turley et al. 2007).”
Calcification of the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa, under ambient and reduced pH (2009, background): “Human-induced threats such as deep bottom trawling are known to destroy large areas of cold-water coral bioherms (Rogers, 1999; Fosså et al., 2002; Hall-Spencer et al., 2002).”
Biodiversity of the white coral reefs in the Ionian Sea (Central Mediterranean) (2004, background): “The biocoenosis of deep-water coral in the Mediterranean Sea is a little known habitat which acts like an oasis in the desert.”
Long-term growth rates of four Mediterranean cold-water coral species maintained in aquaria (2011, background): “This species dwells mostly between 100 and 400 m depth but has also been found at depths of 40 to 3000 m (Zibrowius 1980, Cairns 1994, Freiwald 1998, Fosså et al. 2002).”
Crustaceans associated with the deep-water gorgonian corals Paragorgia arborea (L., 1758) and Primnoa resedaeformis (Gunn., 1763) (2004, unknown): “The actuality of this issue is demonstrated by recent evidence of coral areas damaged by bottom trawling (Krieger, 2001; Fosså et al., 2002).”
Deep-water Oculina coral reefs of Florida: biology, impacts, and management (2002, background): “Bottom trawling and dredging certainly can cause severe mechanical damage as shown on deep-water Lophelia reefs in the northeast Atlantic (Rogers, 1999; Fossa et al., 2000a, b), in soft bottoms on Georges Bank and Stellwagen Bank (Schmuck et al., 1995), hard bottom habitats off the southeastern Uni”
Acclimation to ocean acidification during long‐term CO2 exposure in the cold‐water coral Lophelia pertusa (2012, background): “…are important hot- spots of biodiversity because the three-dimensional coral framework provides structural habitat with niches and nursery grounds for a variety of species, including commercial fish species (Fosså et al., 2002; Husebo et al., 2002; Henry & Roberts, 2007; Roberts et al., 2008).”
Distribution and abundance of fish in deep-sea coral habitats (2002, background): “These heavy gears cause severe negative effects on sensitive benthic habitats, such as the coral reefs (Fosså et al., 2002).”
Deep-sea sponge grounds enhance diversity and abundance of epibenthic megafauna in the Northwest Atlantic (2013, background): “These biogenic habitats can be utilized by other biota as refuge from predators, as spawning and nursery grounds, and as attachment substrate for sessile invertebrates (Bett and Rice, 1992; Krautter et al., 2001; Fosså et al., 2002; Reed, 2002; Henkel and Pawlik, 2005).”
