“…The habitat data of the present records match well the habitat preferences of T. ephippiatus in the Atlantic ocean i.e., species is present near hiding‐places like rock crevices and spaces under boulders (Costello,; Holm & Mattson, ). In the Mediterranean Sea species is typically associated with caves and crevices with muddy or sandy substrates (Bussotti, Di Franco, Francour, & Guidetti, ; Bussotti et al., ; Patzner, ).…”

“…A similar functional process could occur in marine caves. Recent data suggest that the cardinal fish Apogon imberbis (Apogonidae) may have the potential to enrich Mediterranean marine caves with POM 37 . This fish has a wide distribution range (Mediterranean Sea and Eastern Atlantic, from Portugal and the Azores, southward to Morocco and the Gulf of Guinea; www.fishbase.org ).…”

“…1 ). Inside the caves it can account for up to 70% and 30% of total fish density and biomass, respectively 37 . Similarly to other apogonid fishes 45 47 , A. imberbis is site-attached 48 and more active at night 48 – 50 .…”
