The cover codend method was applied for the sampling. The logistic function for the probability of retention by the codend was used for the estimation of selectivity parameters from all data combined. The results indicated that the 16 mm mesh size was not selective and that almost all individuals were retained. The 24 mm and 26 mm mesh size showed quite similar results and were a little more selective than the 20 mm mesh size. None of the experimental mesh sizes proved to be adequate for N. norvegicus, since all estimated values of length of 50\% retention (L50) were lower than the length at first maturity and those of length of 25\% retention (L25) were lower than the legislated minimum landing size.

Round sardinella has gained much attention lately because of its biomass increase, which might be the result of climatic changes occurring across the Mediterranean Sea. Monthly samples were collected on board commercial purse-seiners for two complete year cycles (September 2000 to August 2002). Round sardinella is a gonochoristic fish. The overall female to male ratio was not statistically different (P=0.34) from unity, although it varied monthly and with the length of the fish. The seasonal changes in the gonadosomatic index and the macroscopic characteristics of gonads showed that round sardinella in the northern Aegean spawns between May and July. Male round sardinella reach first sexual maturity at a smaller total length than females (155.0 and 168.3 mm respectively). Mean absolute fecundity (F-A) increased exponentially with body length (F-A=0.0949xL(4.22)) and weight (F-A=511.19xW(1.02)), with an average of similar to 21,000 oocytes produced per spawning female. Relative fecundity (F-R) ranged between 242 and 681 oocytes/g of body weight (average: 445 oocytes/g). The frequency distribution of oocytes showed that round sardinella produces a single batch of oocytes.

Many gears exploit this species in both areas. Specialised and highly productive artisanal gears (fyke nets, pots and traps) have been developed. Herein it is shown that: (1) trawls are responsible for most octopus landings; (2) trawls exploit mostly the small and immature individuals while the artisanal fleets exploit the large and mature ones; (3) there is a marked seasonality of catches; (4) there is little or no interaction between the gears fishing octopus, indicating that each gear affects a certain size range; (5) and the octopus speciments from the Greek area are clearly smaller than the ones from the Spanish area.

Standing stock of total meiobenthos differed considerably among the sampling stations, with marked differences occurring between sampling depths and sites. At 600 m depth, meiobenthic abundances were slightly higher over the Balearic continental slope, whereas at the deeper stations (800 m and 1500-1700 m), abundances were significantly higher in the west Ionian Sea. Significant relationships were found between the abundances of major groups and the chloroplastic pigments, indicating that food availability is a major factor controlling the distribution of meiobenthos. Apart from the overall differences in productivity between the western and eastern Mediterranean Sea, local hydrographic features and topographic differences greatly influence the spatial variability of the environmental parameters within each sub-basin and thus the distribution of meiobenthos in the bathyal zone. }, keywords = {marine}, author = {Tselepides, A. and Lampadariou, N. and Hatziyanni, E.} } @article {12461, title = {Body size overlap in industrial and artisanal fisheries for five commercial fish species in the Mediterranean Sea}, journal = {Scientia MarinaScientia Marina}, volume = {68}, year = {2004}, pages = {179-188}, publisher = {THE INSTITUT DE CIENCIES DEL MAR DE BARCELONA}, keywords = {Pisces}, author = {Stergiou, K.

The ultimate goal of the project has been to assess the conditions for a global regulation in the area and determine possible differences among exploited stocks. The areas selected are characterised by their importance in Norway lobster catch. The overall duration of the project has been three years. Sampling was concentrated in the first two years. Data analysis was conducted during the second and third years (1993-1995). The countries (areas) involved in the study, together with their target areas, were: Portugal (south coast of Algarve), Spain (Alboran and Catalan Seas), Italy (Ligurian, Tyrrhenian and Adriatic Seas) and Greece (Gulf of Euboikos). In order to make results perfectly comparable, each scientific subject has been developed by a specialised team using a unified and standardised methodology. From the biological standpoint, Norway lobster growth, reproduction, moult and feeding have been compared. Special studies on distribution and genetics have been also conducted. In the fisheries context, a comparison of fishing techniques has been undertaken. The fisheries studies have been complemented with reconstruction of virgin populations, comparison of yield per recruit, sensitivity analysis and transition analysis. Selectivity issues have been object of specific analyses. As a result of these studies, it is evident that Norway lobster populations in the Mediterranean follow a common life-cycle model. The differences among areas reported in this project respond to environmental variation and differential fishing pressure in each area. All populations are exploited near its carrying limit, although overexploitation is unlikely at this stage. However we identified varying levels of exploitation according to study areas: The Catalan, Tyrrhenian and Adriatic Seas populations are exploited at a high level; the Ligurian Sea and Euboikos Gulf populations at an intermediate level; and the Alboran Sea and Algarve populations are at a low level of exploitation. The regulation concepts could be applied globally to the Mediterranean, allowing for the differences observed. It is highly recommended that effort is not increased. It should rather be decreased as new technologies being implemented continuously are by themselves an effort increase. A effort reduction of 20\% is desirable to ensure that stocks are maintained at their current levels. This measure should be foremost applied to those areas being subjected to the highest exploitation levels.}, keywords = {biology, Crustacea Decapoda, fishery, MEDITERRANEAN SEA, Nephrops norvegicus, Norway lobster}, author = {F.

In these areas, fishing pressure is very high, since approximately 50\% of the Greek otter trawl fleet operates there, producing more than 57\% of the total demersal landings. Different statistics were used to assess spatial structure, seasonal changes and diversity of the demersal fish assemblages on the continental shelf and upper slope. The following measures were applied to the species abundance matrix: species diversity, species richness, evenness and dominance. The analysis of 501 bottom trawls revealed that, in general, species diversity, richness and evenness decreased with water depth, with the highest values at depths <100 m, whereas dominance increased with depth, with its maximum at depths >200 m. The effect of depth on the diversity patterns observed was always significant, while seasonal trends were similar with those described for the overall diversity characteristics in each area. Classification and ordination methods showed the existence of 4 groups associated with the continental shelf and upper slope in each area. Classification of the top ranking species at each group and area revealed that commercially important species were dominant in the shallowest zone (<30 m), while non-commercial species predominated at depths below 200 m. At intermediate depths (30-200 m) almost 50\% of the total catches were composed of non-commercially important fish species. However, since most species had a wide distribution range these differences were rather quantitative than qualitative. The results indicated that although spatial changes in abundance could be detected, temporal changes were not obvious. Environmental variability and overexploitation, as well as differences in species{\textquoteright} life-history strategies, have both influenced the structure of the demersal fish assemblages found along the depth gradient studied.}, keywords = {Community structure, Demersal fish, diversity, Dominance, Fishing effects, North Eastern Mediterranean, Pisces}, author = {Labropoulou, M. and Papaconstantinou, C.} } @article {8059, title = {Temporal patterns of larval fish distribution and abundance in a coastal area of northern Greece}, journal = {Scientia MarinaScientia Marina}, volume = {68}, number = {4}, year = {2004}, note = {Cited By (since 1996): 1Export Date: 5 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Barbopoulos, K.A., Kourafalou, V.H., Krestenitis, Y.N., Three-dimensional numerical modeling of North Aegean Sea circulation (2000) Proc. 6th Hell.

Samples were collected using a bongo net sampler (250 {\`\i}m mesh size) over a grid of 35 stations in six cruises between June 1997 and May 1998. A total of 48 taxa of fish larvae (36 species, 5 genera and 7 families) were identified. The majority of identified fish larvae taxa consisted of demersal species that included larvae of Bothidae, Gobiidae, Callionymidae, Sparidae and Serranidae. The highest number of species occurred in the warm season (May, June, July, September) and this was attributed to the summer spawners that start their reproduction period during spring/early summer. The European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) was the dominant species between July and September, and the European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) between November and March. Two distinct seasons (warm and cold) were identified by multivariate analysis, highlighting the importance of seasonality in shaping the community structure.

This area contains six clearly distinct lagoons with different topographic and hydrological features. The fishery landings of the lagoons are based on the ontogenic and seasonal migrations of the species. The total annual fishery landings of the barrier fish traps are estimated as 195 mt and are mainly composed of 16 species belonging to 8 families. Eel (Anguilla anguilla), the four species of Mugilidae (Liza saliens, L. aurata, L. ramada and Mugil cephalus), the two species of Sparidae (Sparus aurata and Diplodus annularis) and one species of Mullidae (Mullus barbatus) represent more than 92\% of the total annual landings. The composition of the fishery landings varies between lagoons. The cluster analysis showed three groups of lagoons. The first group comprised lagoons in which the landings were dominated by eel, the second group was dominated by Mugilidae species and S. aurata, and the third by L. ramada and M. cephalus. The diversity index of the fishery landings is fairly constant in time, except for the Etoliko lagoon, where repeated anoxic crises decreased the diversity index value to almost zero in 1992. All the landing series showed a dominant annual cycle. Two seasonal patterns of the fishery landings were observed and linked to the fish spawning behaviour and/or their reaction to environmental forcings. The first one concerns species caught from summer to early autumn and the second pattern concerns species trapped during their autumn to winter offshore migration.}, keywords = {Fish diversity, Fisheries landings, MEDITERRANEAN LAGOON, Pisces, Seasonal fluctuations, Spatial pattern}, author = {Katselis, G. and Koutsikopoulos, C. and Dimitriou, E. and Rogdakis, Y.} } @article {7460, title = {Boat seines in Greece: Landings profiles and identification of potential m{\'e}tiers}, journal = {Scientia MarinaScientia Marina}, volume = {74}, number = {1}, year = {2010}, note = {Cited By (since 1996): 5Export Date: 8 November 2011Source: Scopus}, pages = {65-76}, author = {Katsanevakis, S. and Maravelias, C.

The catching efficiency of fishing gear is variable and depends on several aspects of the animal{\textquoteright}s behaviour and life history as well as on the type of the gear and the environmental characteristics of the area surveyed. A good alternative for studying the abundance of octopus is by visual census. The population density of O. vulgaris was measured by visual census with scuba diving. The survey was conducted in coastal areas of Greece and on soft sediment. O. vulgaris density ranged from 0 to 6.88 individuals/1000m2 and the mean density values of this study were much higher than those mentioned in other papers. Octopus density was significantly associated with season. Densities of octopuses lower than 500 g were higher in coarse sediments than in finer ones. The density of large octopuses (> 500 g) increased with depth. Octopuses larger than 200 g tended to dwell deeper during the period of intense thermocline than during the nothermocline period.}, keywords = {Fishing gear efficiency, Mollusca Cephalopoda, Octopus vulgaris, population density, Thermocline, Visual census}, author = {Katsanevakis, S. and Verriopoulos, G.} } @article {7466, title = {Den ecology of Octopus vulgaris Cuvier, 1797, on soft sediment: availability and types of shelter}, journal = {Scientia MarinaScientia Marina}, volume = {68}, year = {2004}, pages = {147{\textendash}157}, keywords = {Mollusca Cephalopoda}, author = {Katsanevakis, S. and Verriopoulos, G.} } @article {7260, title = {Feeding ecology of Parapenaeus longirostris (Lucas, 1846) (Decapoda: Penaeidae) from the Ionian Sea (Central and Eastern Mediterranean Sea)}, journal = {Scientia MarinaScientia Marina}, volume = {68}, year = {2004}, pages = {247-256}, publisher = {THE INSTITUT DE CIENCIES DEL MAR DE BARCELONA}, keywords = {Crustacea}, author = {Kapiris, K.} } @booklet {7194, title = {Age, growth, mortality, reproduction, and feeding habits of the striped seabream, Lithognathus mormyrus (Pisces: Sparidae), in the coastal waters of the Thracian Sea, Greece}, howpublished = {Scientia MarinaScientia Marina}, volume = {69}, number = {3}, year = {2005}, note = {Export Date: 4 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Anderson, R.O., Neumann, R.M., Length, weight, and associated structural indices (1996) Fisheries Techniques, pp. 447-481. , Murphy B.R. and D.

Specimens ranged from 42 to 341 mm in total length. Weight increased with size allometrically (b = 3.242) for immature individuals and isometrically (b = 2.960) for males, females and intersexuals. Growth was described by the standard form of the von Bertalanffy growth equation and the estimated parameters were k = 0.21, t0 = -0.996 and L? = 309.4. Total and natural instantaneous rate of mortality was found to be Z = 0.79 year-1 and M = 0.61 year-1. Sex inversion occurred mainly between 210 and 300 mm (4-9 age classes). Males reached sexual maturity at 162.1 mm (2.5 years) and females at 190.40 mm (3.6 years). The spawning period occurred from May to September, while the gamete emission peaked in June-August. Stomach content analysis revealed that L. mormyrus is a carnivorous species feeding on benthic invertebrates, mainly polychaeta and bivalve molluscs. Ontogenetic variation in the diet composition showed that while growing, the fish become more generalist feeders. We also found that in the summer season the fish become more selective feeders.}, keywords = {age, feeding, growth, Lithognathus mormyrus, mortality, Northeastern Mediterranean, reproduction}, author = {Kallianiotis, A. and Torre, M. and Argyri, A.} } @booklet {4810, title = {Three new exotic fish records from the SE Aegean Greek waters}, howpublished = {Scientia MarinaScientia Marina}, volume = {70}, number = {2}, year = {2006}, note = {Export Date: 4 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Akyol, O., U?nal, V., Ceyhan, T., Bilecenoglu, M., First confirmed record of Lagocephalus sceleratus (Gmelin, 1789) in the Mediterranean Sea (2005) J.

Of 12 Mediterranean countries known to undertake longlining, seabird mortality is only reported for six: France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Spain and Tunisia. Seabird mortality from longlining has been reported from the Azores (Portugal) but not from the other Macaronesian Islands. Only for one country, Spain, is information on the levels of mortality available, suggesting that 4-6\% of the local breeding population of Cory{\textquoteright}s shearwater Calonectris diomedea may be killed annually, a level considered unsustainable for the long-term persistence of colonies. Cory{\textquoteright}s shearwater is the most commonly affected species, although a number of Larus gull species are also being caught. There is insufficient knowledge to conclude whether any seabird species is at conservation risk within the region, but concern is expressed for Cory{\textquoteright}s shearwater. It is recommended that Mediterranean and Macaronesian countries conduct assessments of their longline fisheries and seabird mortality in terms of the Food and Agriculture Organization{\textquoteright}s International Plan of Action - Seabirds.
