Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are chemical pollutants widely distributed in the marine
environment. They can accumulate in biota, posing a risk to the marine ecosystem and …

An ecosystem model representing the continental shelf and upper slope of the South
Catalan Sea (NW Mediterranean) is calibrated and fitted to the available time series data …

The demersal resources distributed in the trawl fishing grounds off the Balearic Islands
(western Mediterranean) were studied from two bottom trawl surveys carried out in spring …

The spatial prediction of species distributions from survey data is a significant component of
spatial planning and the ecosystem-based management approach to marine resources …

Genetic variation, as a basis of evolutionary change, allows species to adapt and persist in
different climates and environments. Yet, a comprehensive assessment of the drivers of …

This study investigated the effect of five in-house cooking methods (grilling, oven-cooking,
frying, microwaving, and boiling) on lipid content and fatty acid composition in red mullet …

Isotopic composition of mercury (Hg) in marine organisms and sediment cores was used to
identify sources and reconstruct historical trends of contamination in the coastal-marine area …

Red mullet (Mullus barbatus) is a commercially relevant fish species, yet epidemiological
data on anisakid nematode infestation in M. barbatus are scarce. To fill this gap, we report …

The growth of Mullus barbatus has been widely studied using different methods, but no
previous study has focused on age validation. The uncertainty in estimating the age of the …
