Which seafloor indicator to use?
We demonstrate complementarity, sensitivity, and specificity of 18 indicators in response to the pressure of bottom trawling using a shared dataset across different parts of European Seas

A plot showing prestige (impact factor) on vertical axis and fees charged by journals on horizontal axis.
Journal fees for open access are becoming obscene. But what are we, scientists, paying for? I made a simple plot with journals in my research area(s). Clearly, we are paying for prestige: a shockingly clean correlation between the impact factor and journal fees
Our ICES WGFBIT meeting has completed for this year. Next we will be working on manuscript on a Europe-wide assessment of trawling impacts on broad-scale habitats.
We even had a bit of time to take a few samples, and lots of sauna visits and icy walks.

We’re just learning how a huge biomass of fish in the ocean’s twilight zone can help sequester carbon. It seems like a bad time for a new fishery.
