Uncovering the Genetic Structure of European Anchovy Populations in Central and Western Mediterranean. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study used advanced genomic techniques to analyze population structure, genetic diversity, and environmental associations in European anchovies across the Western and Central Mediterranean and nearby Atlantic regions. Two main genetic clusters were identified, separated by the Almeria–Oran front, with significant associations found between genetic

Population Genomics and the Environmental Drivers of Population Structure in a Cosmopolitan Marine Predator, Tursiops truncatus. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT The marine environment comprises vast regions without physical barriers to movement, making the understanding of population isolation and the evolution of diversity challenging. This is especially the case for highly mobile marine species.

Intermittent Frontogenesis in the Alboran Sea

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2021
AbstractWe present a phenomenological description and dynamical analysis of the Alboran fronts using a realistic simulation at submesoscale resolution. The study is focused on east Alboran fronts emerging within relatively strong flows that separate from the Spanish coast into the basin interior.

Global Assessment of Marine Reptiles and Mammals Using a Taxonomic Distinctness Tool: Implications for Their Conservation. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study examines the global distribution of marine reptiles and mammals, revealing contrasting biogeographic patterns shaped by their distinct evolutionary histories. Marine mammals exhibit non‐random distributions with elevated taxonomic distinctness in the Arctic and North Pacific, whereas marine reptiles show phylogenetic clustering in tropical ...

Aerosol properties over the western Mediterranean basin: temporal and spatial variability [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015
This study focuses on the analysis of Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) aerosol data obtained over Alborán Island (35.90° N, 3.03° W, 15 m a.s.l.) in the western Mediterranean from July 2011 to January 2012. Additional aerosol data from the three nearest

Opening of the Alboran Sea [PDF]

Nature Physical Science, 1972
The Alboran Sea contains two basins deeper than 1,000 m separated by a ridge which we shall call the Alboran marginal fracture (Fig. 1). Seismic reflexion studies and data from the Joides drill site 121, situated exactly on the northern limit of the western basin, show that the deepest sedimentary layers, lying on the substratum, are older than upper ...

The Mediterranean outflow in the Strait of Gibraltar and its connection with upstream conditions in the Alborán Sea [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2017
The present study addresses the hypothesis that the Western Alborán Gyre in the Alborán Sea (the westernmost Mediterranean basin adjacent to the Strait of Gibraltar) influences the composition of the outflow through the Strait of Gibraltar.

Aquaculture in the Alboran Sea

, 2021
Aquaculture in the Alboran Sea began 40 years ago, but in spite of several projects to culture fish and shellfish have been developed, only a few companies are now running. The main cultured species have been sea bass, sea bream, and mussels, but attempts to culture Atlantic bluefin tuna, amberjack, sole, oyster, clams, scallop, shrimp, octopus, sea ...

Field comparison of sardine post-flexion larval growth and biochemical composition from three sites in the W Mediterranean (Ebro river coast, bays of Almería and Málaga)

Scientia Marina, 2006
Late larval stages of sardine (16-23 mm) were sampled during the 2003 spawning season in their nursery grounds located off the Ebro river mouth, on the Catalan coast, and in two bays of the Alborán Sea coasts, the Bay of Almería and the Bay of Málaga ...

Anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) otoliths reveal growth differences between two areas of the Spanish Mediterranean Sea

Scientia Marina, 2017
Anchovy is a commercial species that supports large fisheries in the Mediterranean Sea. In addition, anchovy is an essential element of the pelagic food web, playing a considerable role in connecting the lower and upper trophic levels.
