What is the deep sea fishing?
The deep sea fishing takes place in the North Atlantic depths ranging from 400 to 800 meters through deep trawls and gillnets. It is practiced beyond the continental shelf to Spain and France, in the coastal waters for Portugal. It targets species that live along the continental slope and around seamounts. It represents 1.7% of the tonnage of fish caught in the North Atlantic.

What species are involved and why are they vulnerable?
The Directorate of Fisheries has established a list of 54 species ( see here as an appendix to the draft Regulation of the European Commission ) found at great depths. The fish cartilage (rays, sharks) are more likely than bony fish which are however the most popular.
