Habitat suitability for juvenile common sole (Solea solea, L.) in the Bay of Biscay (France): A quantitative description using indicators based on epibenthic fauna

Abstract: This study describes the spatial distribution of young-of-the-year common sole based on beam trawl surveys conducted in late summer in the coastal and estuarine parts of the Bay of Biscay (France). Previous studies showed that habitat suitability for juvenile common sole varies according to physical factors and notably bathymetry and sediment structure. Nevertheless, the use of these descriptors alone to model habitat suitability led to considerable unexplained variability in juvenile common sole distribution.… Show more

“…A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 16 but these are rarely available (Gibson, 1994;Le Pape et al, 2007;França et al, 2011a;Vasconcelos et al, 2012). Moreover, more suitable modelling techniques dealing with non-linearity between species response and the variables, might be applied when analyzing a particular species distribution and this might increase the goodness-of-fit of the models.…”

“…Both approaches aimed to model and predict fish distribution by using environmental relationships. An alternative approach was taken by Friedlander et al (2007) and Le Pape et al (2007), who examined the community assemblage and interactions between species and substrate in order to identify EFH.…”

“…The habitat utilised by species changes with life history stage, density, competition with other species and environmental variability in time and space. During their early life stages, many species occur in coastal waters in essential spawning and nursery habitats such as seagrass beds (Boudouresque et al, 2006), rocky bottoms (Guidetti, 2000, Vanderklif & Jacoby, 2003 or soft shallow bottoms for flatfishes (Eastwood et al, 2001, Koubbi et al, 2006, Le Pape et al, 2007. These studies emphasised the ecological importance and the protection provided by such habitats in relation to their crucial role as nurseries for many fish species and their overall importance in maintaining littoral fish populations and species diversity.…”
