Underwater Photography To Monitor Deep Fishing In Antarctic
Almost 40 scientists are on a research mission to investigate the effects of demersal fishing on the benthic communities around Antarctica.
Apparently little is know about effects of fishing on the Antarctic benthic, community that is both diverse and vulnerable.
