Ecological Assessment of Fishery Communities in an Otter-Trawl-Restricted, Semi-Enclosed Gulf in Greece

Ecological Assessment of Fishery Communities in an Otter-Trawl-Restricted, Semi-Enclosed Gulf in Greece

A fishery-independent survey with a commercial bottom otter trawl was conducted in the Pagasitikos Gulf, a semi-enclosed, trawl-restricted gulf in Greece. The study aimed to ecologically assess the fishery communities that are experiencing a decline in fishery landings. Twelve hauls of 30 min durati...
