• Impacts of trawling on the diversity, biomass and structure of meiofauna assemblages (2002, background): “…with larger body sizes and slow life histories are generally more vulnerable than those species with smaller body sizes (Kaiser and Spencer 1996; Thrush et al. 1998; Tuck et al. 1998; Bergman and Santbrink 2000a, b; Gislason and Sinclair 2000; Hall-Spencer and Moore 2000; Kaiser et al. 2000).”
• Reviews and syntheses: Calculating the global contribution of coralline algae to total carbon burial (2015, background): “However, towed fishing gear (e.g. trawling) can easily damage rhodoliths (maerl; Hall-Spencer and Moore, 2000; Kamenos and Moore, 2003).”
• Habitat structure and biological characteristics of a maerl bed off the northeastern coast of the Maltese Islands (central Mediterranean) (2009, unknown): “…and temperature seem to be the main environmental factors influencing the distribution of maerl beds (Littler et al. 1991; Steller et al. 2007; Wilson et al. 2004), provided there is sufficient water 2003; Hall-Spencer 1998; Hall-Spencer and Moore 2000; Massuti et al. 1996; Riul et al. 2008).”
• RHODOLITHS: BETWEEN ROCKS AND SOFT PLACES (2001, background): “Fishing, often by dredging or bottom trawling, can have large, long-lasting effects on the community (Hall-Spencer and Moore 1999, 2000).”
• Small-scale distribution of juvenile gadoids in shallow inshore waters; what role does maerl play? (2004, unknown): “…maerl and reduce its from https://academic.oup.com/icesjms/article-abstract/61/3/422 2018 heterogeneity to areas resembling a gravel substratum (Hall-Spencer and Moore, 2000a; Kamenos et al., 2003), it is clear that if maerl areas are helping to increase the localized juvenile gadoid holding…”
• Calcified macroalgae - critical to coastal ecosystems and vulnerable to change: a review (2009, background): “When fragile or omnivorous species are removed, they appear to be replaced by species that are soft-sediment suspension feeders (Grall and Glemarec 1997) and the number of scavengers also increases (Hall-Spencer and Moore 2000).”
• Environmental tolerances of free-living coralline algae (maerl): implications for European marine conservation (2004, background): “Demersal fishing practices, such as scallop dredging, can crush the open lattice structure of maerl beds, leaving less interstitial space (Hall-Spencer and Moore, 2000).”
