Abstract A considerable amount of the existing knowledge discards in Mediterranean Sea is presented. Discarding highly varies along basin both geographically and among different fishing gears with bottom trawls being responsible for bulk discards, since they are characterized by high ratios. Midwater trawls, purse-seines, small-scale fisheries, despite their less proportion per se, produce overall quantities, majority landings. Based on collected information, a rough Mediterranean-wide...
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...

Abstract Fisheries have had major negative impacts on marine ecosystems, and effective fisheries management governance are needed to achieve sustainable fisheries, biodiversity conservation goals thus good ecosystem status. To date, the IndiSeas programme (Indicators for Seas) has focussed assessing ecological of fishing at scale using indicators. Here, we explore ‘Management Effectiveness’ ‘Governance Quality’ relate this health We developed a dedicated expert survey, focused level, with...
Identification of potential juvenile grounds short-lived species such as European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) in relation to the environment is a crucial issue for effective management. In current work, habitat suitability modelling was applied acoustic data derived from both western and eastern part Mediterranean Sea. Early summer juveniles were modelled using generalized additive models along with satellite environmental bathymetry data. Selected used construct maps that exhibit...
Discarding is considered globally among the most important issues for fisheries management. The recent reform of Common Fisheries Policy establishes a landing obligation species which are subject to catch limits and, in Mediterranean, Minimum Conservation Reference Size (MCRS) as defined Annex III Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006. Additionally, several other initiatives aim reduce unwanted catches target and bycatch species, including conservation concern. This raises need study discarding...
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...
We analysed data collected on board commercial purse seine vessels in the Aegean and Ionian Seas (eastern Mediterranean Sea, Greece) 13 seasonal sampling periods from 2003 to 2008 order describe composition of retained discarded catch shed light discarding practices. In each area, five species constituted majority marketable (> 97%): sardine (Sardina pilchardus), anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus), round sardinella (Sardinella aurita), bogue (Boops boops) (in both areas), mackerel (Scomber...
“New records of rare species in the Mediterranean Sea” (October 2021)
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean Sea is frequented by local populations of loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta and green Chelonia mydas . Greek waters host both nesting sites foraging grounds for the turtle, whereas only turtle. Both species face threats in their marine environment sourcing from anthropogenic activity. Here, stranding data, spanning 2010 to 2021, were used shed light on main drivers underneath these identify seasons areas high number events. Stranding events showed an increasing...
Acknowledging the importance of implementing environmental policies at ground level, research reveals slow knowledge diffusion and behavioral challenges affecting policy outcomes. Despite global consensus, national sustainable development often remain incomplete. Focusing on education, while circular economy (CE) is extensively discussed in higher it remains notably absent primary education curriculums. Drawing responses 61 teachers, this study (i) locates lack integration circularity...
The large estimates of mesopelagic fish biomass have fuelled harvesting interests in the relatively untouched ocean's twilight zone. Mueller's pearlside, one most abundant species inhabiting north Atlantic layer, is a candidate to such fisheries despite its enormous ecological importance and insufficient knowledge about population genetic structure. To shed light on latter, 863 individuals sampled across North Mediterranean were genotyped using 170 genome-wide SNPs. Analyses revealed...

Ecosystem models can be used as fisheries management tools in the context of a holistic approach and view assessing status aquatic ecosystems proposing plans action. The Ecopath with Ecosim modelling suite has been widely to describe exploited marine systems perform simulations over time. Pagasitikos Gulf is shallow semi-enclosed gulf western coast central Aegean Sea that characterized semi-protected, bottom trawling ban force since 1966. In this study, an model was constructed including 31...
To effectively future-proof the management of European Union fishing fleets we have explored a suite case studies encompassing northeast and tropical Atlantic, Mediterranean, Baltic Black Seas. This study shows that (EU) fisheries are likely resilient to climate-driven short-term stresses, but may be negatively impacted by long-term trends in climate change. However, fisheries’ stock resilience can improved (and therefore more increasing changes climate) adopting robust adaptive management,...
