Background The expansion of fishing activities has intensively transformed marine ecosystems worldwide. However, available time series do not frequently cover historical periods. Methodology Fishers' perceptions were used to complement data and characterise changes in activity exploited the Spanish Mediterranean Sea Gulf Cadiz. interviews conducted 27 harbours area, included 64 fishers from ages between 20 >70 years old capture experiences memories various generations. Results are discussed...
Environmental conditions can easily modulate the abundance of short-lived species, including those commercial interest. These effects occur during key periods their life cycle, such as spawning and recruitment periods, which are crucial for stability natural populations. This study attempts to elucidate abiotic factors on an important species artisanal fisheries in northern Alboran Sea, Chamelea gallina, using CPUE data covering a 16-year period (2004-2020). Generalised Additive Models (GAM)...
Molluscan assemblages of circalittoral and bathyal soft bottoms the northern Alboran Sea were studied using an experimental otter trawl. Samples fauna collected from 190 hauls during four MEDITS surveys carried out in spring between 2012 2015 at depths ranging 30 to 800 m. Measurements water column variables (temperature salinity) sediment samples taken same locations where faunistic sampling was out. A total 101 species grouped 55 families recorded. Cephalopods most abundant group, with...

This study analyses the samples collected annually (2012 to 2018) on circalittoral and bathyal soft bottoms (30 800 m) by MEDITS surveys in northern Alboran Sea (including Island) Gulf of Vera determine composition, structure distribution decapod crustacean assemblages. A total 94 species were identified. Non-metric multidimensional scaling showed depth be main factor for distinguishing four assemblages: inner shelf (30-100 m depth), outer (101-200 m), upper slope (201-500 middle (501-800...
The Alboran Sea is the westernmost sub-basin of Mediterranean Sea, and it connected to Atlantic Ocean through Strait Gibraltar. Ridge located in middle represents a hotspot biodiversity Sea. Besides their critical importance, there are few studies on communities changes biodiversity, they mostly concentrate infralittoral circalittoral bottoms. In this work, composition, structure bathymetric temporal megafauna were examined. Samples collected from MEDITS surveys carried out between 2012 2022...
