Habitat-forming cold-water corals show affinity for seamounts in the New Zealand region (2011, background): “Awareness of the threats to cold-water corals has grown rapidly (Roberts & Hirshfield 2004, Roberts et al. 2006), and understanding the ecosystem role, function and value of this important group, and the asso - ciated fauna, has become a priority in those regions where habitat-forming stony corals…”
The Gray Zone: Relationships between habitat loss and marine diversity and their applications in conservation (2008, background): “…species associated with seagrass meadows (Green and Short, 2003 and references therein, Micheli et al., 2008), faunal assemblages on polychaete reefs (Sabellaria alveolata) (Dubois et al., 2006) and the hundreds of unique species that colonize deep sea seamounts (Roberts and Hirshfield, 2004).”
Conservation challenges for small-scale fisheries: Bycatch and habitat impacts of traps and gillnets (2011, background): “Cold-water corals in particular have come to the attention of policymakers because of their sensitivity to human impacts, long lifespan, and ecological importance (Krieger and Wing, 2002; Freiwald et al., 2004; Roberts and Hirshfield, 2004; Love et al., 2007).”
