By-catch of macrozoobenthos in ichthyological bottom trawling as index of trawling intensity

The impact of bottom trawling on macrobenthic fauna has been investigated in this work. Species composition and abundance of macrozoobenthos by-catch from the ichthyological bottom trawling have been described. The influence of bottom trawl fishery intensity on by-catch biomass of bottom invertebrates have been analyzed. The significant relationship of inverse order between the intensity of trawling and the biomass of macrozoobenthos has been shown.
