Abstract Identification of the potential habitat European anchovy ( Engraulis encrasicolus ) at different life stages in relation to environmental conditions is an interesting subject from both ecological and management points view. For this purpose, acoustic data seasons parts Mediterranean Sea along with satellite bathymetry were modelled using generalized additive models. Similarly, egg distribution summer ichthyoplankton surveys used model spawning habitat. Selected models produce maps...

An ecological niche modelling (ENM) approach was used to predict the potential feeding and spawning habitats of small (5–25 kg, only feeding) large (>25 kg) Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABFT), Thunnus thynnus, in Mediterranean Sea, North Gulf Mexico. The ENM built bridging knowledge on traits ABFT (e.g. temperature tolerance, mobility, strategy) with patterns selected environmental variables (chlorophyll-a fronts concentration, sea surface current temperature, height anomaly) that were identified...
The study of small pelagic fish by hydroacoustic methods in the Mediterranean Sea began Adriatic 1950’s. Since 2009, internationally coordinated, extensive, regular surveys have been conducted framework MEDIAS - International Acoustic Surveys – action, under EU Data Collection Framework, to provide inputs for management pelagics, particularly European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) and sardine (Sardina pilchardus). cover waters monitor distribution abundance species using a common...
The abundance and size structure of wild fishes aggregated around the sea-cages two commercial Thunnus thynnus farms, including control locations, were assessed compared over a 1 year period. T. farms located in eastern Adriatic Sea, offshore islands Ugljan Brač. Fish assemblages evaluated through visual census using scuba at 2 month intervals sites within each farm. data suggest that fish study differed greatly; 20 species occurred farm 17 Brač farm, while only seven observed locations....
The Mediterranean Sea represents the lower latitudinal limit of European sprat range, where it is considered a sentinel species favoring temperate–cold temperatures. Sprattus sprattus plankton feeder that plays an important ecological role in contributing to transfer energy from higher trophic levels, but climate-driven increases sea temperatures may reduce suitability pelagic habitat and threaten tropho-dynamic areas such as Adriatic Sea. latter enclosed basin characterized by shallow...
Blooms of invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi can have massive consequences on fish stocks and marine food webs. The distribution, abundance diet this were investigated in the northeastern (NE) Adriatic between 2016 2019. M. was determined daily along coast Rovinj (Croatia), its spatial distribution monitored by visual census from research vessels pelagic trawl during acoustic surveys September each year. Mesozooplankton samples collected western Istria vertical tows bottom to surface....
Levels of 17 polychlorinated biphenyl congeners (PCBs) and seven organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were measured in the muscle tissue 18 commercially important fish species from eastern Adriatic Sea. PCBs [<LOD-8,866 ng g-1 lipid weight (lw)] accounted for over 66 % all analysed compounds. Their pattern was dominated by PCB-138 PCB-153. DDE (14.2-649 lw) prevalent DDT isomer samples, suggesting no recent input. β-, γ- α-HCH HCB found less than 50 samples. The organic contaminants did not...
The sustained exploitation of marine populations requires an understanding a species' adaptive seascape so that can track environmental changes from short- and long-term climate cycles human development. analysis the distributions genetic markers among populations, together with correlates life-history variability, provide insights into extent variation. Here, we examined variability mature European anchovies (n = 531) in Adriatic (13 samples) Tyrrhenian seas (2 neutral putative non-neutral...
Anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus, L.) is one of the most important commercial species northern and central Adriatic Sea, as well productive fisheries in whole Mediterranean. In Sea stock anchovy shared between Italy, Croatia Slovenia. A joint assessment was carried out using catch data from all fleets for time interval 1975-2009. Analyses were performed estimates natural mortality at age obtained by means two different methods population dynamics based on analysis catch-at-age data:...
In this study, we consider the applicability of Bergmann’s rule to populations small pelagic fish species in Mediterranean Sea. Under rule, body size increases with decreasing temperature and increasing latitude. Although macroecological pattern sizes is well established for many taxa endotherms ectotherms, it remains not universal proposed mechanisms underlying are multiple still lack consensus. We explored here occurrence geographical clines using measurements average 10 collected trawl...
Abstract The aim of this study was to obtain preliminary information about food composition and feeding habits the adult sprat during its spawning season in Adriatic Sea. most important items were adults juveniles planktonic copepods decapod larvae. Cladocerans, mysids, appendicularians, isopods, ostracods, pteropods, bivalve larvae fish eggs also found; no phytoplankton or other algal remains found stomachs. Significant differences between samples collected night, morning afternoon hours...
