• Effects of chronic bottom trawling disturbance on benthic biomass, production and size spectra in different habitats (2006, background): “However, overall reductions in benthic invertebrate production have been reported from areas of intense bottom trawling (Jennings et al., 2001).”
• Is the meiofauna a good indicator for climate change and anthropogenic impacts? (2015, background): “Arieli et al. (2011) investigated the impact of thermal pollution along a gradient at the outlet of the Central Hadera (Israel) power plant on foraminiferal communities.”
• Are marine protected areas a red herring or fisheries panacea (2005, background): “…behaviour of fishers has important ecological consequences, since the first few passages of bottomfishing gear across the seabed cause the biggest reduction in seabed community production and thereafter remains in a relatively constant condition of reduced benthic production (Jennings et al. 2001).”
• The ups and downs of benthic ecology: considerations of scale, heterogeneity and surveillance for benthic-pelagic coupling (2003, background): “…various aspects of benthic–pelagic coupling, such as sediment flux and biodeposition (Norkko et al., 2001), recruitment to the benthos (Marinelli and Woodin, 2002), biological structuring, production and chemical fluxes (Jennings et al., 2001a,b; Widdicombe and Austen, 2001; Duplisea et al., 2001).”
• Cumulative impacts of seabed trawl disturbance on benthic biomass, production, and species richness in different habitats (2006, methodology): “In the analysis of macrofauna from the SP, station 7 from Jennings et al. (2001, 2002a) was excluded because it was situated on the Dutch continental shelf.”
• Chronic bottom trawling alters the functional composition of benthic invertebrate communities on a sea-basin scale (2006, unknown): “As a result, benthic communities in trawled areas are dominated by smaller species with higher productivity per unit biomass or by highly mobile epibiota (Kaiser et al. 2000, Jennings et al. 2001).”
• A size-based model of the impacts of bottom trawling on benthic community structure (2002, background): “Both the model and existing empirical studies suggest that North Sea populations of intermediate- and large-sized macrofauna cannot tolerate moderate (~2 passes·year–1) levels of trawling disturbance (Piet et al. 2000; Rumohr and Kujawski 2000; Jennings et al. 2001).”
• Impacts of trawling on the diversity, biomass and structure of meiofauna assemblages (2002, background): “filiation, with large, slowly reproducing species being more susceptible than their smaller, faster reproducing competitors (Kaiser et al. 2000; Jennings et al. 2001).”
• Effects of trawling on fish and invertebrates from deep-sea coral facies of Isidella elongata in the western Mediterranean (2011, background): “The effects of bottomtrawling on biological diversity and production of this biota are unknown, although, according to studies of impact on benthic communities by trawling on shelf habitats (Jennings et al., 2001; Gray et al., 2006) a decrease in biodiversity, along with a parallel decrease in produ”
• Little Evidence of Benthic Community Resilience to Bottom Trawling on Seamounts After 15 Years (2019, background): “This approach is best achieved by restricting the distribution of fishing effort, and putting in place a network of open and closed areas, with closure of unfished seamounts where benthic communities occur in their natural state (Johnston and Santillo, 2004; Clark et al., 2016).”
• Diversity and community structure of epibenthic invertebrates and fish in the North Sea (2002, background): “Experimental studies and comparisons between areas subject to different frequencies of trawling disturbance have shown that beam trawling leads to significant mortality of benthic fauna (Bergman and van Santbrick, 2000), reductions in the abundance of species with large body size (Rumohr and Kujawsk”
