Occurrence of starry ray Amblyraja radiata in marine protected areas of the German Exclusive Economic Zone in the North Sea

Year: 2018

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: s are primarily designed for catching highly commercial bony fishes. In order to identify a potential overlap between the distribution range of chondrichthyan fishes and the German marine protected areas, species distribution modelling is performed for the starry ray Amblyraja radiata. This species is used as a start since it is currently the most abundant skate species in the North Sea and thus a higher number of records is available. The results shall reveal whether this method is suitable to predict the potential occurrence of data-deficient chondrichthyans in particular areas such as the German sanctuaries. If this can be confirmed, the presented approach could provide justification for adequate protection of chondrichthyan species in the German marine protected areas.
