Citations in the corpus

• Climate change impacts on the biophysics and economics of world fisheries (2011, background): “The global fishing sector has had to adapt to declining fish stocks and catches over time because of overfishing (for example, by fishing deeper and into the high sea”
• Projected climate change and the changing biogeography of coastal Mediterranean fishes (2013, background): “Morato et al. (2006) suggest that this trend may cause deep-water fish stocks to be at serious risk of depletion, as the life histories of these species make them highly vulnerable to overfishing.”
• Biodiversity, climate change, and ecosystem services (2009, background): “Over the past 50 years we have fished deeper and deeper [21].”
• Biodiversity and extinction (2007, unknown): “With declines of fisheries stocks in shallow waters, increasing emphasis has been directed toward deep-water stocks, which comprise species whose life histories render them even less robust to such impacts (Roberts, 2002; Morat et al., 2006).”
• Fuelling the decline in UK fishing communities (2010, background): “The decline in profitability has largely been masked by technological creep and subsidized fuel, which has allowed vessels to exploit new fishing grounds successfully, in areas farther from shore and in deeper water (Morato et al., 2006; World Bank and FAO, 2008).”
• Extinction risk and conservation of the world’s sharks and rays (2013, background): “By contrast, with a few exceptions (mainly eastern Atlantic slopes, Figure 7E), fishing has a narrow depth penetration and hence species found at greater depths can still find refuge from exploitation (Morato et al., 2006; Lam and Sadovy de Mitcheson, 2010).”
• Risso's dolphin Grampus griseus in the Mediterranean Sea (2011, background): “…however, are of concern: (1) the possible expansion of Mediterranean deep-water fisheries (e.g. Politou et al., 2003), as observed elsewhere (Morato et al., 2006), and (2) the tendency of fisheries to target species lower and lower in the food web as populations of higher trophic level…”
• Limited potential to recover from overfishing raises concerns for deep-sea sharks, rays and chimaeras (2009, background): “Increasing movement of fishing effort into the deep-sea (Morato et al. 2006), combined with a lag in the scientific study of these systems (Haedrich et al. 2001), has raised concerns over the sustainability of species occupying deepsea habitats (Roberts 2002).”
• Twenty thousand sterling under the sea : Estimating the value of protecting deep-sea biodiversity (2014, background): “Fisheries have targeted ever deeper fish stocks 66 since the 1950s, even though deep-sea species are particularly vulnerable to overexploitation, due to 67 their slow growth and late maturity (Morato et al., 2006).”
