The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Impacts of trawling on the diversity, biomass and structure of meiofauna assemblages (2002, background): “…trawling gears and provide habitat structure (Currie and Parry 1996; Bradshaw et al. 2000; Collie et al. 2000a, b; Craeymeersch et al. 2000; Hall-Spencer and Moore 2000; Kaiser et al. 2000; Lindegarth et al. 2000; Piet et al. 2000; Pranovi et al. 2000; Rumohr and Kujawski 2000; Veale et al. 2000).”
Quantitative Fidelity of Brachiopod-Mollusk Assemblages from Modern Subtidal Environments of San Juan Islands, USA (2003, background): “…dredging may (1) change relative abundance of species, (2) alter the ratio of epifaunal to infaunal taxa, (3) induce an increase in dominance, and (4) cause a decrease in diversity (for reviews, case examples, and references see Dayton et al., 1995; Jennings & Kaiser, 1998; Veale et al., 2000).”
Impacts of chronic trawling disturbance on meiofaunal communities (2002, background): “The broken lines show the boundaries of the areas for which trawling disturbance was assessed trawling or dredging impacts across quantifiable gradients of disturbance (Collie et al. 1997; Thrush et al. 1998; Kaiser et al. 2000; Veale et al. 2000; Piet et al. 2001).”
Benefits of closed area protection for a population of scallops (2005, background): “This dredging exercise was designed to simulate commercial exploitation, although the Bradda Inshore ground commonly experiences higher levels of fishing effort (Veale et al. 2000).”
