Bottom‐contact fishing gears are globally the most widespread anthropogenic sources of direct disturbance to the seabed and associated biota. Managing these fishing disturbances requires quantification of gear impacts on biota and the rate of recovery following disturbance. We undertook a systematic review and meta‐analysis of 122 experiments on the effects‐of‐bottom fishing to quantify the removal...
Indicators of trawl exposure were developed for 837 bycatch and benthos species, assemblages and habitats on the Great Barrier Reef shelf, by analysing their spatial distributions (mapped by a previous study) in relation to management zones, overlap with trawl grounds, and the intensity of trawl effort – and estimating the proportion of their distributions exposed to trawling. Exposure to trawl intensity...
