“…The spawning grounds were clearly identifiable, however, from the presence of spawning females throughout the study period. In general, the reproductive period is similar in different parts of the Mediterranean, peaking from May to September (Mura et al, 1992;Ragonese & Bianchini, 1995;D'Onghia et al, 1998;Papacostantinou & Kapiris, 2003).…”

The presence of spawning and nursery grounds of Aristeids in the central western Mediterranean Sea were investigated using fishery-independent data (trawl surveys, 1994-2012). Spatial distributions were generated for mature animals and recruits, for both spring/summer and autumn data, using an inverse distance-weighted deterministic interpolation. The persistence index was used to identify stable spawning and nursery grounds in the Sardinian slope region for Aristaeomorpha foliacea and Aristeus antennatus. Areas of aggregation for recruits and mature females appear to be connected with important physical habitat features. The analysis also suggests a seasonal bathymetric distribution for nursery areas. The recruits of A. foliacea are located in the upper part of the continental slope (377-450 m) in spring/summer and reach greater depths (468-628 m) in autumn. For A. antennatus, for which nursery areas only emerge in autumn, there is presumably an opposite ontogenic migration, from deep sea to upper slope, during the summer (575-681 m). The results also indicate a partial overlap between the nursery and spawning grounds of both species. In this particular area, local environmental conditions such as upwelling events or the presence of canyons and seamounts seem to play an important role in their distribution. This study also generated relevant information on the spatial and temporal distribution of seasonal or persistent aggregations of spawners and recruits, providing scientific elements to suggest the protection of these important resources.

SUMMARY: It has recently been shown that two deep-water red shrimp species (Aristeus antennatus and Aristaeomorpha foliacea) have the potential to support a viable fishery in the Greek Ionian Sea (eastern Mediterranean). In this article, we investigate (i) the evolution that this newly developed trawl shrimp fishery may undergo when subjected to different management measures, and (ii) the most suitable extraction rates considering the uncertainties about the resource. We further analyse the effects that potential future fuel price increases and changes in the market may have on the fishery. Forecasting the biological and economic consequences of management actions, as well as the effects of market changes on inputs and outputs before they are applied, may help managers select the most suitable management options. We approach the problem by means of bio-economic simulation analysis. The results of this study show that fishing effort can increase by 50-100%, increasing the fleet's profitability without jeopardizing the sustainability of the fishery.Keywords: bio-economic modelling, market development, fuel price, newly developed stocks, Ionian Sea, red shrimps.RESUMEN: Evaluación bio-Económica dEl potEncial para EstablEcEr una pEsquEría comErcial sobrE dos nuEvos stocks: la pEsquEría dE gambas rojas dEl jónico -Recientemente se ha demostrado que dos especies de gambas rojas de profundidad (Aristeus antennatus and Aristaeomorpha foliacea) tienen el potencial de sostener una pesquería viable en el mar Jónico griego (Mediterráneo oriental). En este trabajo investigamos i) la evolución que esta nueva pesquería de gambas puede tener ante distintas medidas de gestión, y ii) cuáles serían las tasas de extracción del recurso más adecuadas teniendo en cuenta la incertidumbre sobre el recurso. Además analizamos los efectos que puedan tener sobre la pesquería el aumento del precio del combustible y cambios en el precio de mercado. La proyección de las consecuencias biológicas y económicas de las acciones de gestión, así como los efectos de cambios en el mercado sobre las entradas y salidas antes de ser aplicadas puede ayudar a los gestores a seleccionar las opciones de gestión más adecuadas. Proporcionamos una aproximación al modelo mediante análisis bio-económico de simulación. Los resultados de este estudio muestran que el esfuerzo de pesca puede aumentar en un 50 a 100%, aumentando la rentabilidad de la flota, sin comprometer negativamente la sostenibilidad de la pesquería.Palabras clave: modelización bioeconómica, desarrollo de mercados, precio del combustible, stocks nuevos, mar Jónico, gambas rojas.

“…This species is heavily exploited in Western Mediterranean, and is currently fished in the Central Mediterranean; its stocks are pristine in the Eastern Mediterranean (Bianchini & Ragonese, 1994;Papaconstantinou & Kapiris, 2003;Gönülal et al, 2010) and its exploitation is not yet been developed. …”

“…In the eastern Mediterranean (Greek waters), knowledge of the species was recently obtained. Some information on its distribution (Kallianiotis et al, 2000;Kapiris et al, 2001c), morphometry (Kapiris et al, 2002;Kapiris, 2005) and biology (Kapiris et al, 1999 ;Kapiris & ThessalouLegaki, 2001bPapaconstantinou & Kapiris, 2003), feeding (Kapiris et al,2010) and fishery (Mytilineou et al,2006) appeared in the literature. According to the present state of knowledge the species depth distribution ranges between 123 and 1047 m, with a maximum abundance from 400 to 800 m in most areas.…”
