Chronic bottom trawling alters the functional composition of benthic invertebrate communities on a sea-basin scale (2006, unknown): “…affected our conclusions is that community recovery from trawling is likely to take several years (Hermsen et al. 2003, Blyth et al. 2004, Murawski et al. 2004, Beukers-Stewart et al. 2005), and on a timescale of 15 mo trawling effects are likely to be larger than seasonal and annual variations.”
Evaluating the biological effectiveness of fully and partially protected marine areas (2013, background): “The cessation of scallop dredging not only reduces fishing mortality of adult scallops [27], but also eliminates the deleterious effects on benthic communities [84].”
