Title (original)
Is derelict fishing gear impacting the biodiversity of the Northern Adriatic Sea? An answer from unique biogenic reefs
Description
This paper is aimed at quantifying the impacts of ALDFG on rocky habitats and monitoring the biodiversity recovery after ALDFG removal. Acoustic and diving surveys were performed to map 15 selected rocky outcrops and one artificial reef (for a total surface area of 21 km2). The recovery capability of benthic and fish communities was evaluated by non-destructive techniques in 5 outcrops periodically sampled throughout 18 months.
