Biological structures exert a major influence on species diversity at both local and regional scales deep continental margins. Some organisms use other as substrates for attachment, shelter, feeding or parasitism, but there may also be mutual benefits from the association. Here, we highlight structural attributes biotic effects of habitats that corals, sea pens, sponges xenophyophores offer organisms. The environmental setting biological influences their composition. importance benthic seems...
Mapping trawling pressure on the benthic habitats is needed as background to support an ecosystem approach fisheries management. The extent and intensity of bottom European continental shelf (0–1000 m) was analysed from logbook statistics vessel monitoring system data for 2010–2012 at a grid cell resolution 1 × min longitude latitude. Trawling profiles with seabed impact surface subsurface level are presented 14 management areas in North-east Atlantic, Baltic Sea Mediterranean Sea. footprint...
Significance We conducted a systematic, high-resolution analysis of bottom trawl fishing footprints for 24 regions on continental shelves and slopes five continents New Zealand. The proportion seabed trawled varied >200-fold among (from 0.4 to 80.7% area depth 1,000 m). Within 18 regions, more than two-thirds remained untrawled during study periods 2–6 years. Relationships between metrics total trawling activity footprint were strong positive, providing method estimate where data are not...
Abstract Marine benthic ecosystems are difficult to monitor and assess, which is in contrast modern ecosystem-based management requiring detailed information at all important ecological anthropogenic impact levels. Ecosystem needs ensure a sustainable exploitation of marine resources as well the protection sensitive habitats, taking account potential multiple-use conflicts impacts over large spatial scales. The urgent need for large-scale data on species communities resulted an increasing...
Abstract A framework to assess the impact of mobile fishing gear on seabed and benthic ecosystem is presented. The that can be used at regional local scales provides indicators for both trawling pressure ecological impact. It builds high-resolution maps intensity considers physical effects trawl gears seabed, marine taxa, functioning ecosystem. Within framework, a reductionist approach applied breaks down into its components, number biological traits are chosen determine either vulnerability...
Litter has been found in all marine environments and is accumulating seabirds mammals the Nordic Seas. These ecosystems are under pressure from climatic change fisheries while human population small. The landscapes area range shallow fishing banks to deep-sea canyons. We present density, distribution composition of litter first large-scale mapping sea bed arctic subarctic waters. was registered 1778 video transects, which 27% contained litter. background density Barents Sea Norwegian 202 279...

Information about the distribution, composition and status of benthic environment communities is important for implementation ecosystem-based management involving assessment effects human activities. The MAREANO programme (Marine Areal Database Norwegian Coasts Sea Areas) conducts seabed mapping in order to fill knowledge gaps relation plans EEZ. This paper describes experience from strategy used by MAREANO. By using a variety sampling gears all types are thoroughly documented. involves...

The effective conservation of marine biodiversity through an integrated ecosystem-based management approach requires a sound knowledge the spatial distribution habitats and species. Although costly in terms time resources, acquiring such information is essential for development rigorous plans meaningful prioritization actions. Located northeastern part Mediterranean, Aegean Sea represents stronghold biodiversity. However, efforts are hampered by apparent lack regarding This work first to...
In the deep waters of Nordic Seas and adjacent areas, several benthic habitats such as cold-water coral reefs, gardens, deep-sea sponge aggregations have been classified vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs), due to their uniqueness, limited spatial extent, physical fragility, slow recovery rate. last decade observations carried out by habitat mapping programmes in Norway, Iceland more recently Faroe Islands substantially increased knowledge on distribution VMEs Seas. Nevertheless, large areas...

Abstract Bottom-trawl fisheries are expanding into deeper habitats and higher latitudes, but our understanding of their effects in these areas is limited. The ecological importance habitat-forming megabenthos vulnerability to trawling acknowledged, studies on few. Our objective was investigate chronic otter trawl fishery substratum the shelf (50–400 m) slope (400–2000 southern Barents Sea. study area represents a wide range history fishing intensity (FI).
