Prevalence, abundance, concentration, size and composition of anthropogenic items (AIs) (synthetic non-synthetic) ingested by Merluccius merluccius juvenile specimens from near-bottom water samples different localities off the Catalan coast (NW Mediterranean), were characterized. The potential effect AIs on fish condition was assessed through health indicators. Virtually all found in fibres. A mean 0.85 fibres/m3 surrounding observed. Fish a 1.39 (SD = 1.39) items/individual. Cellulosic...
The round sardinella (Sardinella aurita Valenciennes, 1847) is a common pelagic species in the NW Mediterranean, with low economic value. To evaluate its potential as resource, comprehensive study including nutritional status (proximate and fatty acid composition), zoonotic parasites heavy metals of fish captured off coast Barcelona (NW Mediterranean) was carried out. Thus, 200 specimens were seasonally caught aboard commercial purse seiner fishing vessels between 2022 2023. Present results...
Abstract The gross pathology and the histopathological alterations identified in juvenile specimens of European hake ( Merluccius merluccius ), one most important target species commercial fisheries northwest Mediterranean, are described. A qualitative semi‐quantitative histological approach was performed from 2007 2019. Prevalence mean intensity parasites changes were calculated both years. No macroscopic found any organ but several (e.g., copepods, nematodes, digeneans) detected....
