Changes in the ‘Mean Temperature of the Catch’: application of a new concept to the North-eastern Aegean Sea
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two trawl surveys in the Northeastern Aegean Sea, conducted in 1997 and 2007 yielded a catch composition which, when re-expressed through the new concept of ‘mean temperature of the catch’ (MTC) yielded an MTC increase of 0.25 0C per decade, which is higher of the global MTC increase rate between 1970 and 2006, but slightly lower than the observed temperature increase in the Northeastern Aegean region, i.e., 0.26 0C per decade. The result confirmed that global warming is impacting fisheries catch in the Northeastern Aegean Sea, and can be used for adaptation of regional fisheries management plan.

Distribution and biomass of macrobenthic fauna in the Chabahar Bay (North Eastern Sea of Oman)
Population density, distribution and biomass of macrobenthic fauna in Chabahar Bay were investigated from May 1995 to March 1996 on a bimonthly basis. The most abundant groups were Amphipods (21%), Polychaetes (19%), Gastropods (15.7%) and Bivalves (10.6%). Maximum (13000 individuals/m2) and minimum (4600 individuals/m2) were observed in May and July respectively. The changes in density were in...

متن کاملMean temperature of the catch (MTC) in the Greek Seas based on landings and survey data
The mean temperature of the catch (MTC), which is the average inferred temperature preference of the exploited species weighted by their annual catch, is an index that has been used for evaluating the effect of sea warming on marine ecosystems. In the present work, we examined the effect of sea surface temperature (SST) on the catch composition of the Greek Seas using the MTC applied on the off...
