Field measurements and computer simulations show how fishing methods that drag weighted nets along the seabed counteract the seafloor sediments’ role as a carbon sink. The effect is ambiguous in weakly trawled areas but becomes clear in intensely trawled grounds.

长期密集的底拖网捕捞减少了海洋碳封存


现场测量和计算机模拟表明，沿着海底拖网的捕鱼方法如何抵消海底沉积物作为碳汇的作用。这种影响在拖网较弱的地区是模棱两可的，但在拖网密集的水域中则变得明显。
