Scientists are growing increasingly concerned about the impact demersal fishing is having on climate change and the preservation of organic carbon stored in the seabed. "The study emphasizes the ...

In short: Twenty tonnes of the west coast demersal catch will be reallocated to the recreational sector after a buy-back of fishing entitlements from commercial fishers. The WA Fishing Industry ...

Demersal fish assemblages occupy the seafloor and the water layer immediately above it along continental shelves, slopes and nearshore habitats. These assemblages comprise a diverse array of ...

Ecological modeling of demersal fish species integrates mathematical and computational frameworks to represent the dynamics of bottom‐dwelling communities, their interactions with the physical ...

Recreational fishers say WA's new demersal catch laws are hurting regional communities Bans prohibit fishing for select species off boats for six months of the year between Augusta and Kalbarri The ...

Understanding the impacts of climate change on fish communities is an important piece of navigating the future, but it’s difficult to tease out the individual factors at play in natural systems. This ...

A 10-year study of Chesapeake Bay fishes by researchers at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science provides the first quantitative evidence on a bay-wide scale that low-oxygen "dead zones" are ...

Land reclamation and channelling of the sea-bed, have paralleled major declines of demersal fish stocks. This is part of the findings of the fish resource assessment survey project conducted from ...

For 5 days, researchers subjected populations of demersal fish, which live close to the bottom of water bodies, near Australia's Pilbara Coast to varying levels of exposure to a commercial seismic ...

In a new study, researchers took advantage of the natural oceanographic gradient in the Gulf of California to study the effects of variable oxygen levels and temperatures on demersal fish communities.
