The Alboran Sea circulation and its biological response: A review

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The oceanography of the Alboran Sea (AS) has been the subject of intensive research for decades. Chief among the reasons for this interest is the variety of physical processes taking place in the basin, spanning from coastal upwelling, dynamic of density

ENHYDROSS: A New Mechanistic Model Supports the Trans-Oceanic Dispersal Capability of Terrestrial Vertebrates. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

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.

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 ...

Endemic Mediterranean seagrasses poised to survive climate change challenges. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Understanding the current and future trajectories of critical habitats is essential for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management, especially in semi‐enclosed environments such as the Mediterranean Sea. Endemic habitats in the Mediterranean, such as Posidonia meadows, are crucial for marine biodiversity, nutrient cycling, oxygen ...

Genetics in the Ocean's Twilight Zone: Population Structure of the Silvery Lightfish Across Its Distribution Range [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT The large estimates of mesopelagic fish biomass have long fuelled harvesting interests in the relatively untouched twilight zone of the ocean. The silvery lightfish—one of the most abundant species inhabiting the North Atlantic mesopelagic layer—is a candidate for such a fishery despite its enormous ecological importance and the insufficient ...

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 ...

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

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.

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 ...
