Demersal Zone

Synchronous combined effects of fishing and climate within a demersal community
Oxford Journals | 20 Feb 2013
Accumulating evidence shows that fishing exploitation and environmental variables can synergistically affect the population dynamics of exploited populations. Here, we document an interaction between fishing impact and climate variability that triggered a synchronic response in the population fluctuations of six exploited species in the Mediterranean from 1965–2008.

Demersal fish biodiversity: species-level indicators and trends-based targets for the Marine Strateg...
Oxford Journals | 12 Oct 2012
The maintenance of biodiversity is a fundamental theme of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. Appropriate indicators to monitor change in biodiversity, along with associated targets representing "good environmental status" (GES), are required to be in place by July 2012. A method for selecting species-specific metrics to fulfil various specified indicator roles is proposed for demersal fish communities.

NAFC MARINE CENTRE TO MAP DEMERSAL FISHING ACTIVITY FOR INDUSTRY PARTNERS IN SHETLAND
fishupdate.com | 25 Jul 2012
Following a request from the Shetland Fishermen's Association (SFA), staff from the NAFC Marine Centre will be conducting face-to-face interviews with whitefish fishermen to ensure that their interests are effectively and efficiently communicated when new developments are planned around the islands.
