Macrofauna spatial differences within clam dredge-tracks and their implications for short-term fishing effect studies
In situ observations of clam dredging showed that the effects of the dredge on the benthic macrofauna may not be constant during a tow. A sand buffer forms in front of the gear approximately 10m after the beginning of a tow, and this pushes the sediment partially aside.In this study, we analyse diff...
