Limited potential to recover from overfishing raises concerns for deep-sea sharks, rays and chimaeras (2009, background): “It is now well known that the slow growth, late maturation and longevity of bony fishes in the deep-sea limit their ability to sustain fisheries, making precautionary management important (Koslow et al. 2000; Cailliet et al. 2001).”
Fishing down the deep (2006, background): “…compilation 2006 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, F I SH and F ISHERIES , 7, 24–34 trend in the mean depth of fishing in the North Pacific may be attributed to the time scale used in the analysis, because most of the deepwater fisheries started before 1950s or early 1960s (Moore 1999; Koslow et al. 2000).”
Deep-water Oculina coral reefs of Florida: biology, impacts, and management (2002, unknown): “Since most benthic fisheries focus on apex predators such as groupers, snappers, and sharks, removal of these apex predators and other ecologically important species may have severe long-term repercussions (Koenig et al., 2000; Koslow et al., 2000).”
The deep-sea floor ecosystem: current status and prospects of anthropogenic change by the year 2025 (2003, background): “Between 1969 and 1977, between 50 000 and 200 000 tonnes of this fish were landed annually by Soviet and Japanese factory trawlers (Koslow et al. 2000).”
Towards sustainability in world fisheries (2002, background): “Rather the fisheries expanded their reach, both offshore, by fishing deeper waters and remote sea mount”
Murphy's law revisited: longevity as a factor in recruitment to fish populations (2002, background): “For all these rockfish, annual natural mortality rates must be very low of order 0.05 or less (Koslow et al., 2000).”
Cold Water Coral Reefs: Out of Sight-No Longer Out of Mind (2004, unknown): “resources were discovered on seamounts in the North Pacific, successive waves of fisheries have swept across seamounts in the North and South Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans (Koslow et al., 2000).”
A continuum of life histories in deep-sea demersal fishes (2012, background): “Past studies have established that deep-sea fishes are not as productive as species from the continental shelves (Devine et al., 2006; Koslow et al., 2000; Moore, 1999; Morato et al., 2006b; Roberts, 2002).”
The fish fauna associated with deep coral banks off the southeastern United States (2007, background): “Deep coral habitats are much more extensive than previously known, and they face a number of threats (Rogers, 1999; Koslow et al., 2000; Morgan et al., 2006; Roberts et al., 2006).”
Impacts of bottom trawling on deep-coral ecosystems of seamounts are long-lasting (2009, background): “Schools of these fish have increasingly become the target of commercial bottom-contact trawling during the last 3 decades as fishing fleets move from declining, traditional, shelfbased fisheries to exploit less accessible populations further offshore (Koslow et al. 2000).”
Intrinsic vulnerability in the global fish catch (2007, unknown): “For instance , many of the coral reef and seamount fishes are thought to be particularly vulnerable to fishing because of life history traits such as slow growth and late maturation (Koslow et al. 2000, Sadovy 2005, Morato et al. 2006a).”
