There is growing awareness of the impact of fishery activities on fragile and vulnerable deep-sea ecosystems, stimulating actions devoted to their protection and best management by national and international organizations. The Bari Canyon in the Adriatic Sea represents a good case study of this, since it hosts vulnerable ecosystems, threatened species, as well as valuable commercial species, but virtually lacks substantial management plans for the sustainable use of resources. This study documents the high level of biodiversity of the Bari Canyon and the impact of human activities by analyzing remotely operated vehicle surveys and benthic lander deployments. An integrated socio-economic study provides information on fishing pressure in the Bari Canyon and in the surrounding areas. Finally, measures of conservation, protection, and management are discussed and suggested for this remarkable site in the context of the deep Mediterranean Sea.

巴里峡谷深海生态系统最佳治理的观点

人们越来越意识到渔业活动对脆弱和脆弱的深海生态系统的影响，这促使国家和国际组织采取专门保护和最佳管理的行动。亚得里亚海的巴里峡谷是一个很好的案例研究，因为它拥有脆弱的生态系统、受威胁的物种以及有价值的商业物种，但实际上缺乏可持续利用资源的实质性管理计划。本研究通过分析遥控车辆调查和海底着陆器部署，记录了巴里峡谷的高度生物多样性和人类活动的影响。一项综合社会经济研究提供了有关巴里峡谷和周边地区捕捞压力的信息。最后，养护、保护措施，
