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

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.
