Effects of scallop dredging on macrobenthic communities in west Iceland
Effects of scallop dredging on benthic communities in Breidafjordur, west Iceland, were investigated by analysing bycatch data from scallop stock assessment surveys and effort data from the commercial scallop fishery. Bycatch constituted 28% of the total catch, with eight benthic macrofaunal taxa al...
