Abstract In the Mediterranean Sea, where bottom trawling for demersal species is the most
important fishery in terms of landings, around 75% of the assessed fish stocks are …

Disentangling the effects of mixed fisheries and climate change across entire food-webs
requires a description of ecosystems using tools that can quantify interactive effects as well …

The effect of artificial lights mounted on the headrope trawl net on the catch of deep water
rose shrimp (Parapenaeus longirostris), European hake (Merluccius merluccius), and …

Based on the characteristics of the fishing sector (multispecies and multi-gears) and the
stock status of main resources (overfishing and overexploitation), some suggestions to …

In the last decades, the Mediterranean Sea experienced an increasing trend of fish stocks in
overfishing status. Therefore, management actions to achieve a more sustainable …

Introduction Most Mediterranean fish stocks are overexploited owing to high fishing efforts
and poor exploitation patterns. Demersal trawl fisheries are considered the most impactful …

A modelling approach applied to the study of ecosystems from a management and
conservation point of view allows their complexity to be investigated and represents a tool …

Sorting grids to exclude the juveniles of species targeted by bottom trawl fisheries from the
catch are among the most promising solutions to reduce discards. We tested a two-sections …

In the Mediterranean, experiments and technical measures aimed at improving the
selectivity of bottom trawl nets mostly concern modifications to the codend. Grids have been …

The catch of large quantities of sublegal‐sized fish and shrimp is a pervasive feature of
bottom trawl fisheries, particularly in the Mediterranean demersal mixed fisheries where …
