It is a very shallow sea of “brackish” water, water that is … Read more
Deep-Sea Fisheries in the Northeast Atlantic
The deep-sea starts at 200 m below the surface, where sunlight does not penetrate – but where fisheries still operate, reaching down to more than 1500 m. Most deep-sea fisheries in the North-East Atlantic sprang up in the second half of the 20th century, after the decline of traditional continental shelf stocks, and with the aid … Read more
