Abstract
Between 2006 and 2014, the Australian Antarctic
Division (AAD) undertook an extensive study into the
vulnerability of benthic habitats to impact by demersal
fishing gear, including otter trawl, demersal longlining
and pots (Welsford et al., 2014). A major component of
the study was to examine the fishing ‘footprint’ of the different
gear types to determine the extent of their interaction
with benthic habitats. This was comparatively easy
to estimate for trawl gear, but required that the lateral
movement of demersal longlines and the drag of pots
be quantified. A variety of mechanical and electronic
methods, including inertial sensors and drag wheels,
were trialled, but ultimately it was determined that only
underwater video could provide the visual evidence of
movement that would satisfy critics of the study.
