Impacts of trawling on the diversity, biomass and structure of meiofauna assemblages (2002, background): “…drilling, transportation and recreation (Kinne 1995), it is difficult to assess the relative roles of fishing disturbance and other factors in contributing to community change (Rees and Eleftheriou 1989; Jones 1992; Dayton et al. 1995; Currie and Parry 1996; Thrush et al. 1998; Blaber et al. 2000).”

Current usage of fisheries indicators and reference points, and their potential application to management of fisheries for marine invertebrates (2004, background): “An alternative approach to classifying ecological effects of fishing on estuarine invertebrates (Blaber et al. 2000) suggests that indicators fall into the following categories: target and nontarget organisms; nursery functions; trophic effects; habitat change and reduced water quality; human enviro”
State of the World’s Fisheries (2003, background): “While targeting shellfish in estuaries along the Atlantic coast of the United States, fisherman also greatly reduced the extent of important seagrass beds (63).”
More than One Bag for the World Fishery Crisis and Keys for Co-management Successes in Selected Artisanal Latin American Shellfisheries (2005, background): “A decreasing trend in global catch rates and landings as a result of overfishing, and habitat changes due to fishing and other unmanaged human activities, have damaged the productivity of stocks and the ecosystems as a whole (reviewed in Blaber et al., 2000).”
Seahorse declines in the Derwent estuary, Tasmania in the absence of fishing pressure (2005, unknown): “Some estuaries have substantial fisheries while others serve as nursery grounds for large commercial fisheries elsewhere ( Blaber et al., 2000; Gillanders et al., 2003).”
Sydney Harbour: a review of anthropogenic impacts on the biodiversity and ecosystem function of one of the world’s largest natural harbours (2015, background): “Although there are a variety of fisheries in open waters, most of catch is typically from the coastal regions and estuaries of the world (Blaber et al. 2000).”
