Summer Fish Larval Asseblages In Four Areas Of The Central Mediterranean

Year: 2010

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Our study confirms that several tuna species spawn in the central Mediterranean, especially in the vicinity of island. Tuna larvae were found in the four areas sampled (Eolias, Cabo Passero, Malta and Aegean Sea) and represented between 18% and 90% of the total abundance. The high larval abundances and occurrence of Thunnus alalunga shows that our sampling period coincided with the spawning peak of this species. Other larvae also found in the assemblages included meso-batipelagic, small pelagic and coastal.
