  • Distribution and Behaviour of Deep-Sea Benthopelagic Fauna Observed Using Towed Cameras in the Santa Maria Di Leuca Cold-Water Coral Province
    Vol. 443: 95–110, 2011 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published December 20 doi: 10.3354/meps09432 Mar Ecol Prog Ser OPENPEN ACCESSCCESS Distribution and behaviour of deep-sea benthopelagic fauna observed using towed cameras in the Santa Maria di Leuca cold-water coral province G.

Orabona 4, 70125 Bari, Italy 2Department of Geological Science and Geotechnology, University of Milano-Bicocca, Piazza della Scienza 4, 20126 Milano, Italy ABSTRACT: Using a towed camera system, a total of 422 individuals belonging to 62 taxa (includ- ing 33 identified species) were counted in the Santa Maria di Leuca (SML) coral province (Mediterranean Sea). Our findings update the knowledge of the biodiversity of this area and of the depth records of several species. The presence of coral mounds mostly in the north-eastern sector of the SML coral province seems to influence the large scale distribution of the deep-sea ben- thopelagic fauna, playing the role of attraction-refuge with respect to the barren muddy bottoms where fishing occurs in northern areas. Multiple Correspondence Analysis identified 3 main taxa groups: (1) rather strictly linked to the bottom, resting or moving on the seabed, often sheltering and feeding; (2) mostly swimming in the water column and mostly observed on rugged bottoms; and (3) actively swimming or hovering near the seabed. The behavioural patterns largely related to activity and position of the fauna seem to determine their small-scale distribution. The effects of different benthic macrohabitats appear to be less important and the depth within the bathymetric range examined even less so.

Online- udgivelse, december 2019. Systematik og navngivning Den akarnaniske blankesten blev oprindelig beskrevet som Pagrus acarne Risso, 1827. Senere blev den flyttet til slægten Pagellus Valenciennes, 1830. Gennem tiden er ca. 20 arter blevet regnet til slægten, men på nuværende tidspunkt medregnes kun seks arter (Froese & Pauly 2019). Heraf kendes de tre fra danske farvande. Foruden akarnanisk blankesten drejer det sig om rød blankesten (P. erythrinus) og spidstandet blankesten (P. bogaraveo). Det officielle danske navn er akarnanisk blankesten (Muus 1970; Nielsen 1988), og da arten kun kendes fra to fangster i Danmark, findes der ingen danske lokalnavne. Adskillige forfattere har i de senere år brugt stavemåden akarnaisk blankesten, men dette skyldes en fejl i bogen ”Havfisk og Fiskeri” (Muus & Nielsen 1998), som er blevet gentaget. Navnet kommer af det græske område Akarnanien, der ligger ved Adriaterhavet, hvilket også har givet ophav til det latinske artsnavn. Det danske navn blankesten er brugt om havruder helt tilbage i 1700-tallet (Brünnich 1771). Slægtsnavnet Pagellus er en latinisering af navnet ”pagel”, der brugtes om arten i den franske middelhavsprovins Languedoc (Kullander & Delling 2012). Udseende og kendetegn Kroppen er torpedoformet og lettere sammentrykt.

A faster rate of reproductive gain with body size can occur if larger males are more effective in controlling females and excluding competitors from fertilizations. The most simple consequence of this theoretical scenario, based on sexual allocation theory, is that natural breeding sex ratios are expected to be female biased in female-first sex changers, because average male fecundity will exceed that of females. A second prediction is that the intensity of sperm competition is expected to be lower in female-first sex-changing species because larger males should be able to more completely monopolize females and therefore reduce male–male competition during spawning.

The study area is shallow and protected from waves, and it is covered by a C. prolifera bed, characterized by high organic input and a highly diverse macrobenthic community. Feeding patterns of the fish, investigated on the basis of stomach content analyses, were described in terms of numerical abundance and frequency of occurrence of prey taxa. A total of 1642 fish individuals, belonging to 17 species, were examined. In total, 45,674 prey Citation: Maidanou, M.; Koulouri, P.; individuals were identified belonging to 110 prey taxa, most of which were Malacostraca including Karachle, P.K.; Arvanitidis, C.; their larvae and Copepoda (41,175 individuals identified to 71 taxa).

During 2010–2012 we collected data on the population status and ecology of the European Shag (Mediterranean subspecies) Phalacrocorax aristotelis desmarestii on Gavdos Island (south Crete), conducting boat-based surveys, nest monitoring, and diet analysis. The species’ population was estimated at 80–110 pairs, with 59% breeding success and 1.6 fledglings per successful nest. Pellet morphological and genetic analysis of otoliths and fish bones, respectively, showed that the shags’ diet consisted of 31 species. A total of 4 223 otoliths were identified to species level; 47.2% belonged to sand smelts Atherina boyeri, 14.2% to bogues Boops boops, 11.3% to picarels Spicara smaris, and 10.5% to damselfishes Chromis chromis.

One specimen was caught by trawl nets at about 300 m depth in Rass Albassit, north of Lattakia, on 25 February 2019, and 6 additional specimens were caught by gill nets at a depth of 120 m off Jablah coast on 7 April 2019. This record represents the first sighting of this immigrant Atlantic species introduced in the Eastern Mediterranean (Levantine Basin). These specimens were found mixing in the same net haul with populations other Sparidae species such as: Pagellus acarne and Dentex macrophthalmus. Keywords: Sparidae, Pagellus bogaraveo, First record, Syrian marine waters, Levantine Basin Background by three congeneric species: Pagellus acarne (Risso, 1826), The Mediterranean is considered as a semi-enclosed sea; P. erythrinus (Linneans, 1758) and P. bellottii (Steindcner, the Western and Eastern basins are separated by siculo- 1882) (Saad 2005;Ali2018).

Due to strong Sparidae, is a demersal fish, inhabiting the Eastern Atlantic evaporation in the Eastern Basin, there is a constant flow Ocean, extending in the East Atlantic from Mauritania to of near-surface waters that enter through Gibraltar from Norway.

  • And Interspecific Variability Among Congeneric Pagellus Otoliths
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Intra‑ and interspecifc variability among congeneric Pagellus otoliths Claudio D’Iglio1,2,5, Marco Albano1,5, Sergio Famulari1, Serena Savoca 1*, Giuseppe Panarello1, Davide Di Paola1, Anna Perdichizzi2, Paola Rinelli2, Giovanni Lanteri3, Nunziacarla Spanò4 & Gioele Capillo2,3 Otolith features are useful tools for studying taxonomy, ecology, paleontology, and fsh biology since they represent a permanent record of life history. Nevertheless, the functional morphology of otoliths remains an open research question that is useful to completely understand their eco‑morphology. This study aims to deepen the knowledge of intra‑ and interspecifc variation in sagitta morphology in three congeneric seabreams, to understand how such variability could be related to the lifestyles of each species. Therefore, the sagittae (n = 161) of 24 Pagellus bogaraveo, 24 Pagellus acarne, and 37 Pagellus erythrinus specimens, collected from the south Tyrrhenian Sea, were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and a stereomicroscope to assess morphometric features, variability between otolith pairs and the external crystalline structure the of sulcus acusticus. Statistical analysis demonstrated that, between the species, variability in sagittal otolith rostral length growth and sulcus acusticus features, correlated with increased fsh total length and body weight. Moreover, slight diferences between otolith pairs were detected in P. acarne and P. erythrinus (P < 0.05). The results confrm changes in otolith morphometry and morphology between diferent congeneric species and populations of the same species from diferent habitats. Te inner ear is fundamental for vestibular and acoustic functions (balance and hearing) in teleost fshes. Its structure comprises three semicircular canals and their end organs, the ampullae, and three otolith organs (the sacculus, utriculus, and lagena).
