Small pelagic fish (SPF) in the western Mediterranean Sea are key elements of marine food web and important terms biomass fisheries catches. Significant declines biomass, landings, changes age/size structure sardine Sardina pilchardus anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus have been observed recent decades, particularly northern area Sea. To understand different patterns SPF populations, we analyzed life history traits [total length at age, maturity, gonadosomatic index (GSI), body condition (Kn)]...
Defining and protecting critical habitats for elasmobranchs (sharks rays), such as spawning areas, is essential mitigating anthropogenic pressures that threaten their populations, primarily driven by fisheries habitat degradation. This study presents a novel modelling-based framework to identify Potential Spawning Areas (PSAs) - offering optimal conditions oviposition. Using fisheries-dependent trawl bycatch data combined with environmental predictors, we applied machine-learning models...
The seafloor of the Mediterranean Sea accumulates marine litter (ML), an area where bottom trawlers operate and can accidentally catch from seafloor. This study aims to describe quantify ML caught by along Catalan coast (NW Sea) estimate potential trawl fleet extract as a Fishing for Litter (FFL) initiative tackle issue. Marine was collected commercial classified metal, plastic, rubber, textile, wood, other waste weighed (kg) 305 hauls performed during three years (2019-2021) 9 different...
Introduction Chondrichthyans (sharks, batoids and chimaeras) play key roles in the regulation of marine food webs dynamics. However, more than half assessed species Mediterranean are threatened, primarily by fishing pressure compounded habitat degradation climate change. Nevertheless, there is an important knowledge gap identifying underlying drivers their community structure spatial distribution. Methods Results We provide insights into current bycatch rates chondrichthyans western...

The Mediterranean Sea has a long-lasting history of fishery exploitation that, together with other anthropogenic impacts, led to declines in several marine organisms. In particular, elasmobranch populations have been severely impacted, drastic decreases abundance and species diversity. Based on their experience, fishers can provide information occurrence, behavioural traits long-term scale, therefore contributing research the poorly studied biological aspects elusive or rare species. this...
Gonadal morphology and reproductive biology of the Black Anglerfish (Lophius budegassa) were studied by examining 4410 specimens collected between June 2007 December 2010 in northwestern Mediterranean Sea.Ovaries testes presented traits common among fishes order Lophiiformes.Spawning occurred November March.Size at first maturity (L 50 ) was 33.4 cm total length (TL) for males 48.2 TL females.Black is a spawner with group-synchronous oocyte development determinate fecundity.Fecundity values...
New records of Parasquilla ferussaci (Roux, 1830) (Crustacea, Stomatopoda) from the Eastern Atlantic and Western Mediterranean.— We report occurrence little known stomatopod on Mediterranean coasts Iberian peninsula. Documentation is based three specimens captured off Isla Cristina (Huelva) in Gulf Cadiz, Fuengirola (Malaga) Alboran Sea Gava (Barcelona) North-Western Mediterranean. These reports fill distribution gap between Central previous east Balearic Islands.
The chorion surface ultrastructure of unfertilized eggs black anglerfish Lophius budegassa and white piscatorius was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Species‐specific differences were observed.

Elasmobranchs play crucial roles as predators in marine ecosystems. Understanding their trophic strategies and interactions is necessary for comprehending food web dynamics developing ecosystem-based management strategies. Although, feeding can change depending on several factors, including fluctuations prey availability throughout the year. In this study, we investigated ecology of pelagic stingray, Pteroplatytrygon violacea western Mediterranean Sea. We found significant seasonal...
Opportunistic records can provide valuable information on certain species, including the critically endangered porbeagle shark (Lamna nasus). This note documents occurrence of three juveniles, with approximate 120-, 88-, and 85-cm fork lengths respectively, observed along coast Asturias, Spain, in 2024. Given distinct scenarios which these respectively occurred (incidental capture, washed ashore stranding), they emphasize role citizen science identifying potential threats to this...
The Mediterranean Sea is home to a great diversity of sharks and rays, however, the knowledge fishing for these species ambiguous there gap in northwestern Mediterranean. In this work, we detected that many rays appeared catch than those reported fisheries statistics, several threatened with extinction, thus disappearance may be occurring without being properly reported. We found labeled other generic names changes from historical statistics occur. On hand, observed could have high degree...
