Visual faunistic exploration of geomorphological human-impacted deep-sea areas of the north-western Mediterranean Sea

This study reports the composition and distribution of demersal megafauna from various north-western Mediterranean submarine areas such as canyons, seamounts and landslides between 60-800 m depth, based on remotely operated vehicle (ROV) observations. From a total of 30 h of video, 4534 faunistic ob...

From a total of 30 h of video, 4534 faunistic observations were made and analysed in relationship to environmental factors (i.e. topography, substrate type and depth). In addition, anthropogenic impact was quantified by grouping observations in four categories: fishing nets, longlines, trawl marks and other litter. The different targeted environments showed similarities in faunal composition according to substrate, depth and topography. Our results also indicated the presence of anthropogenic impact in all the sampled areas in which litter and trawl marks were the most observed artefacts.Cambridge University Press2018info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2445/167517Articles publicats en revistes (Dinàmica de la Terra i l'Oceà)reponame:Dipòsit Digital de la UBinstname:Universidad de BarcelonaInglésVersió postprint del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0025315417000431Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2018, vol. 98, num. 6, p. 1241-1252https://doi.org/10.1017/S0025315417000431(c) Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom , 2018info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:diposit.ub.edu:2445/1675172026-05-27T06:46:51Z
