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).”
Are deep-water corals important habitats for fishes? (2005, background): “In the Gulf of Alaska, Krieger and Wing (2002) noted that “less than 1 % of the boulders contained coral, but 85 % of the large rockfi sh [ Sebastes spp.] were next to boulders with corals” (i.e., Primnoa sp.).”
Stable C and N isotopic composition of cold-water corals from the Newfoundland and Labrador continental slope: Examination of trophic, depth and spatial effects (2008, background): “, 2006) and create structurally complex habitat for invertebrates and fish (Henry and Roberts, 2007; Husebø et al., 2002; Krieger and Wing, 2002; Costello et al., 2005; Edinger et al., 2007).”
Effects of trawling on fish and invertebrates from deep-sea coral facies of Isidella elongata in the western Mediterranean (2011, background): “The very slow growth rates of deep-water corals (Andrews et al., 2002; Fosså et al., 2002; Krieger & Wing, 2002) make problematic the recovery of these habitats from trawling in the short and medium term.”
Biodiversity of the white coral bank off Cape Santa Maria di Leuca (Mediterranean Sea): An update (2010, background): “In this regard, several observations report that the Atlantic rockfish, such as those of the genus Sebastes and Sebastolobus, are preferentially distributed in deep-water coral habitats (Pearcy et al., 1989; Heifetz, 2002; Husebø et al., 2002; Krieger and Wing, 2002; Costello et al., 2005).”
Age, growth and radiometric age validation of a deep-sea, habitat-forming gorgonian (Primnoa resedaeformis) from the Gulf of Alaska (2002, unknown): “Red tree coral grows in small isolated groups and can form massive stands 2–3 m tall (Krieger & Wing, 2002).”
Biological structures as a source of habitat heterogeneity and biodiversity on the deep ocean margins (2010, background): “Off Alaska, at 161–365 m, Krieger & Wing (2002) found that 85% of the larger rockfish (Sebastes spp.) were associated with gorgonian corals (Primnoa spp.).”
Coral habitat in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska: depth distribution, fine-scale species associations, and fisheries interactions (2006, background): “Fisheries research has shown that these little-studied coral taxa provide important refuge habitat for fish and invertebrates (Fosså et al. 2000; Krieger and Wing 2002; Auster 2005).”
Trophic relationships in a deep Mediterranean cold-water coral bank (Santa Maria di Leuca, Ionian Sea) (2009, background): “They also act as a potential refuge, nursery and feeding ground for many deep-sea species, including commercial fishes (Husebø et al. 2002, Krieger & Wing 2002, Costello et al. 2005, Ross & Quattrini 2007, D’Onghia et al. 2010).”
Benthic invertebrates that form habitat on deep banks off southern California, with special reference to deep sea coral (2006, background): “…structure-forming invertebrates in studies that report fish-invertebrate associations within common habitats (Hixon et al.2), or make anecdotal or general observations on fish-invertebrate associations (e.g., Krieger and Wing, 2002), few studies have systemically quantified these relationships.”
Deep‐sea corals: out of sight, but no longer out of mind (2004, background): “areas (Krieger and Wing 2002).”
