This paper discusses the development of new fishing technologies and markets for deep-sea fish products enabling fishing vessels to begin exploiting these diverse but poorly understood deep-sea ecosystems. By far the most widespread activity affecting the biodiversity of these areas on the high seas is bottom trawl fishing. A number of surveys have shown bottom trawl fishing to be highly destructive to the biodiversity associated with seamounts and deep-sea coral ecosystems and concluded that it is likely to pose significant risks to this biodiversity, including the risk of species extinction.
