We examined how the trophic ecology of nine economically important marine taxa varied across three distinct areas Adriatic Sea. These included species demersal fishes (European hake Merluccius merluccius , red mullet Mullus barbatus black-bellied angler Lophius budegassa ) and two decapod crustaceans (Norway lobster Nephrops norvegicus deep-water rose shrimp Parapenaeus longirostris four pelagi...

The size selectivity of trammel nets was investigated in the northern Aegean Sea using 10 different inner-panel mesh sizes ranging from 16 to 70 mm nominal (bar length). Selectivity estimates were made for eight most abundant target and bycatch fish species, namely black scorpionfish, Scorpaena porcus Linnaeus, 1758; annular seabream, Diplodus annularis (Linnaeus, 1758); red mullet, Mullus barb...

The catch of large quantities sublegal-sized fish and shrimp is a pervasive feature bottom trawl fisheries, particularly in the Mediterranean demersal mixed fisheries where regulations traditionally allow small mesh sizes. To address these concerns, two net selectivity trials were carried out 2019 2020 on fishing grounds worked by fleet Spanish Mediterranean, under normal commercial operating c...
