Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This call for papers is focused on trawl fishing, which is the most important fishing technique used worldwide; its biological and physical impacts, state-of-the-art approaches to monitor this activity and improve it, in terms of impact reduction, and the spatial models currently used to describe the strategy of trawlers and regulate the exploitation of demersal resources are of interest.
Although there is a great amount of literature dealing with these topics, some aspects are still controversial and debated, some others (such as the effects on sediments and then on the morphology of the sea bottom) were discovered only recently, and there is an increasing interest in approaches for bio-economic modeling.
I am pleased to solicit original research, mini and full reviews, short communications, as well as perspectives, which address any of the aspects listed above.
Dr. Tommaso Russo
Guest Editor
