Bottom-contact fishing gear has impacts on benthic populations, communities, and habitats. The effects are not uniform, and depend on at least the specific features of the seafloor habitat, including the natural disturbance regime; the species present; the type of gear used; the methods and timing of deployment of the gear; and the frequency with which a site is impacted by specific gears.  1, record 1, English, - bottom%2Dcontact%20fishing%20gear

Les engins de pêche en contact avec le fond ont des effets négatifs sur les populations, les communautés et les habitats benthiques. Les effets sont variables, mais dépendent des caractéristiques précises des habitats du plancher océanique, incluant le régime de perturbation naturelle, les espèces présentes, le type d'engin utilisé, les méthodes et le moment du déploiement de l'engin, et la fréquence à laquelle on a dérangé un site avec un engin donné.  1, record 1, French, - engin%20de%20p%C3%AAche%20en%20contact%20avec%20le%20fond

When two commercially important marine species coexist in the same habitat, conflict may arise between different sectors of the fishing industry. A good example of this situation is when fishers using towed bottom-fishing gear (scallop dredges, beam trawls, and otter trawls) operate in the same areas in which fixed-bottom gear (crab pots) are deployed.  4, record 2, English, - towed%20bottom%2Dfishing%20gear

The catching of fish or shellfish that are found on or close to the seabed, using any gear type likely to come in contact with the seafloor or benthic organisms during the normal course of operations.  5, record 5, English, - bottom%20fishing

Since gear impacts are affected by such factors such as the type of benthic communities over which they are fished, restricting bottom fishing from specific areas would reduce impact on particularly sensitive areas. ... the policy for managing the impacts of fishing on sensitive benthic areas ... can be used to protect ocean-floor habitat.  6, record 5, English, - bottom%20fishing

Étant donné que l'incidence des engins dépend de facteurs comme le type de communauté benthique qui fait l'objet de la pêche, la restriction de la pêche de fond dans certaines zones réduirait l'incidence sur les zones particulièrement sensibles. [...] la politique de gestion des impacts de la pêche sur les zones benthiques vulnérables peut être utilisée pour protéger l'habitat du plancher océanique.  3, record 5, French, - p%C3%AAche%20de%20fond

... bottom fishing involves lowering a weighted hook or lure to the bottom of the water column. ... No bottom fishing expedition would be possible without three essential items. These are the sinker, the hook, and the line. ... When a good fishing rig is coupled with quality bait, you get a combination no bottom fish can ignore.  2, record 6, English, - bottom%20fishing
