Factors affecting the fishing impact on cartilaginous fishes in southeastern Spain (western Mediterranean Sea)

Abstract: Summary:We propose a global index of impact based on the relative vulnerability of the local population of every species and the further application of regression trees globally optimized with evolutionary algorithms to study the fishing impact on the cartilaginous fish in southeastern Spain. The fishing impact is much higher in areas of less than 40 m depth within 11 km of the Cape Palos marine reserve. The impact also depends on the state of the sea and the kind of habitat. Deep-sea habitats associated with … Show more

“…In the period 1957-1960, the frequency of occurrence of MUSP was 21.9% (Thalassa survey), decreasing to Along the Spanish coast the trend in reduction of smooth-hounds has been documented since the 1960s (Balearic Islands: Massuti, 1971). Recently, the common smooth-hound has been sporadically caught either in surveys (Gouraguine et al, 2011;Massuti & Moranta, 2003) or by local fisheries (Barrull, Mate, & Bueno, 1999;Carbonell, Alemany, Merella, Quetglas, & Román, 2003;Mendoza, Garrido, & Bellido, 2014).…”

“…In this study we applied for the first time, a systematic spatial planning approach focused on elasmobranch species in the western and, in general, in the Spanish Mediterranean Sea. Our results can be used to inform proactive area-based protection for the demersal elasmobranch community inhabiting the Mediterranean waters under Spanish jurisdiction, to avoid a further decrease in their conservation status as it has been already documented in several areas of the basin (Aldebert, 1997;Ferretti et al, 2008;Pennino et al, 2013;Mendoza, Garrido, & Bellido, 2014;Dulvy et al, 2016).…”

“…With this study, we contribute to the knowledge on elasmobranch spatial conservation and management planning in the Mediterranean Sea and the ongoing elasmobranch MPA delimitation (Davidson and Dulvy, 2017;Mendoza et al, 2014). According to our results, marine protected sites in our study region could be extended to increase the percentage of Mediterranean waters protected to achieve Aichi 11 target (10% of the sea protected by 2020) (Amengual and Alvarez-Berastegui, 2018).…”
