Trawling the seabed doesnt just remove some of the fishes living there; it also makes some of the survivors thinner and less healthy by forcing them to use more energy finding less nutritious food. A thinner fish with less energy in reserve will find it harder to cope with stressful situations or to invest in reproduction, which may have long-terms consequences for affected populations. Trawling does serious damage to seabed ecosystems and can kill about a third of the invertebrates that live in the trawl path Thanks to the European Vegetarian and Animal News Alliance (EVANA) for posting this article.
