Abstract The sociology and habits of recreational anglers on the Island Majorca (western Mediterranean) were evaluated using telephone on-site surveys, as well fishing logbooks competitions. fishery is one island's main leisure activities, 5.14% population (37 265 people) participating. Enthusiasts tend to be mainly middle class (most own boats moored at marinas), middle-aged males (90% male, mean age 46 ± 2 years). most popular method from a boat (62.9%), followed by shore (32.4%),...

The feeding ecology of eight demersal elasmobranchs, three sharks (Etmopterus spinax, Scyliorhinus canicula and Galeus melastomus) five batoids (Myliobatis aquila, Leucoraja naevus, Raja polystigma, R. miraletus clavata), from the Balearic Sea (western Mediterranean) was analyzed.For each species, diet habits were characterized by depth strata using quantitative indices such as overlap, breadth prey diversity.Diet variation with size also tested for most abundant species.For shelf-living...

In recent years, overtourism and tourism gentrification have been a central feature of public debate in the Balearic Islands, one most touristified regions on planet. this context, discourse degrowth has thrived, being discussed across political spectrum even serving to legitimize sustainable plan new Tourism Act. This article provides brief analysis around 2014–2019 period differentiates between two approaches. On hand, used by socio-environmental platforms as byword for detourisfication...
Coral reefs are threatened by numerous global and local stressors. In the face of predicted large-scale coral degradation over coming decades, importance long-term monitoring stress-induced ecosystem changes has been widely recognised. areas where sustained funding is unavailable, citizen science potential to be a powerful alternative conventional programmes. this study we used data collected volunteers in Southeast Sulawesi (Indonesia), demonstrate marine programmes provide scientifically...
Abstract The analysis of 131 hauls from four bottom trawl fishing surveys carried out between depths 46 and 1713 m in two different areas off the Balearic Islands yielded a total 23 elasmobranch species belonging to eight families. Cluster multidimensional scaling (MDS) ordination were applied detect zonation patterns some ecological parameters (e.g. richness, abundance biomass, mean weight, diversity evenness) calculated for each assemblage. For area, similitude (ANOSIM) similarity...
In Mediterranean subtidal rocky reefs, Cystoseira spp. (Phaeophyceae) form dense canopies up to 1 m high. Such habitats, called 'Cystoseira forests', are regressing across the entire Sea due multiple anthropogenic stressors, as other large brown algae forests worldwide. being replaced by structurally less complex but little information is available regarding potential difference in structure and composition of fish assemblages between these habitats. To fill this void, we compared...
The unlimited economic growth that fuels capitalism's metabolism has profoundly transformed a large portion of Earth. resulting environmental destruction led to an unprecedented rate biodiversity loss. Following large-scale losses habitats and species, it was recognized is crucial maintaining functional ecosystems. We sought continue the debate on contradictions between in conservation science literature thus invite scholars engage reversing crisis through acknowledging impacts growth. In...
Basic information on the distribution and habitat preferences of ecologically important species is essential for their management protection.This study focuses depth related trends geographic patterns that shape community elasmobranch in Balearic Islands (Mediterranean Sea) using data collected from 2001 to 2009.Non-metric Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) ordination was used detect zonation community.Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) were applied analyse spatial temporal variation...
Summary Bottom‐trawl fisheries are widespread and cause mortality of benthic invertebrates, which in turn may lead to a decrease the availability prey for target fish species. Exploitation also reduces abundance species themselves. Modelling studies have shown that bottom trawling could both increases decreases production, but so far empirical evidence test these ideas has been very limited. We hypothesize effect on food intake condition depends how ratio consumers changes with increasing...
Climate change mitigation depends to a large extent on economic sectors modifying their production processes significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO₂. However, emission assessments are usually excluded from management of capture fisheries. Traditionally, hake (Merluccius ssp.) has been an important food for the population Western Europe, and remains one most consumed fish in Spain's gastronomic culture. This paper reconstructs, first time, seafood chain Spain with aim...
Abstract The diversity of benthic communities on continental shelves is tightly linked to the habitats. Therefore, considering seascape habitat composition can help gain insights into spatial variability and move away from single-habitats approaches. This perspective needs different analytical methods, such as network analysis that enable study complex ecological interactions. work explores relationships between species in Menorca Channel (the Balearic Islands, western Mediterranean). area a...
