Abstract Knowledge of the foraging ecology of fishes is fundamental both to understanding
the processes that function at the individual, population and community levels, and for the …

In the NW Mediterranean Sea, anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) and sardine (Sardina
pilchardus) are the most important small pelagic fish in terms of biomass and commercial …

pelagic marine food webs. Zoological Studies 43 (2): 255-266. Small planktonic marine …

Oithona has been described as the most ubiquitous and abundant copepod in the world's
oceans. Most of our knowledge of zooplankton abundance and distribution is derived from …

The Mediterranean is globally considered an oligotrophic sea. However, there are some
places or certain seasons in which mechanisms that enhance fertility may occur. These …

We review intrinsic traits of the early life stages of marine fishes to gain a better
understanding of how climate-driven changes in abiotic (temperature) and biotic (match …

Abstract Time series analyses (Box–Jenkins models) were used to study the influence of
river runoff and wind mixing index on the productivity of the two most abundant species of …

We investigated ontogenetic and seasonal changes in the feeding ecology of 2 small
pelagic fish species, the European anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus and the European …

Since the late 1980s, the Daily Egg Production Method (DEPM) has been applied to several
anchovy stocks in European waters. DEPM surveys in the Bay of Biscay were well …

Most of the monthly catches and CPUE of 13 studied commercial species in the coastal
waters of the north‐western Mediterranean were significantly positively correlated with run …
