A study suggests that stopping deep-sea trawling at a depth of around 600m makes sense.

A small invasive fish known as the topmouth gudgeon has already wreaked havoc on European species and its arrival to the US and South America is only a matter of time.
We know the warming seas are forcing some marine life to new waters, but we don’t know much about how fast and how far they are moving. But now you can help scientists find the answers with Redmap.
The combination of local fishing rights with adjacent marine reserves creates incentives to avoid overfishing and could improve nearshore, small-scale fisheries around the world.
How will climate change affect life in the oceans? New research shows that the answer is likely good and bad.
The Great Southern Reef covers 71,000 square km and contributes more than A$10 billion to Australia’s economy each year.
Over the past 80 years sardine and anchovy have become icons of modern-day marine biology, oceanography and climate research.
Climate change will hit South Africa’s fish population.
As warmer seas move further south, tropical wildlife is going with them, giving us a dramatic insight into how global warming is changing our oceans.
Despite having an internationally recognised fishing system, Namibia needs to shift gears to maintain its excellent fishing status.
We used to think of sharks as primitive fish because the had cartilage instead of bones. Turns out there was a good reason why and it makes them anything but primitive.
The opah fish circulates heated blood through its body like a bird or mammal, meaning it can outcompete its deep sea rivals.
Scuba-diving scientists devise method for gauging the health of coral reefs – a vital ecosystem for keeping fisheries sustainable for people.
Warmer temperatures can throw off the gender balance in some species. But some fish can adjust their offspring’s gender to compensate, but only if temperatures don’t rise too high.
The oxygen is being sucked out of the ocean, and while much of it is happening far below the surface, it will still affect us above.
Brown or yellow, the dottyback fish has a colour for every occasion, and every habitat.
“That’s obscene,” I thought when I saw the photo of Helena Bonham Carter, nude, clasping a tuna between her legs and gazing lovingly into its face. She declared the fish was her “Valentine”. My Western…
We know that fishing has significant impacts on our oceans and the animals that live in them. Effects can range from habitat modification caused by bottom trawls, stock declines from overfishing or subtler…
The feeding habits of an unusual 200-million-year-old fish have been tested in a ground-breaking study published in Palaeontology. This research is particularly notable as it wasn’t carried out by a leading…
Consensus is growing that we are steering towards a sixth mass extinction event. There are calls for increased efforts to stop the accelerating loss of plants and animals. But do we really need to protect…
