T1 Effect of Partially Mechanized Dredging on the Zoobenthos of the Eastern Sivash JF Hydrobiological Journal JO HYD YR 1998 FD 1998-06-01 VO 34 IS 2&3 SP 66 OP 72 AB The effect produced on benthic biocenoses by partially mechanized harvesting of European flounder Platichthys flesus luscus with the aid of dragnets was studied in the Eastern Sivash for three years (1985-1987). The results showed that such harvesting has no significant effect on the zoobenthos as the source of fish food, as floor deposits of the Sivash mainly consist of loose silts that easily pass through the dragnet. No significant changes in average biomass of the zoobenthos were revealed after repeated dredging (four to six times per day).
