Biological aspects and population dynamics of the European pilchard Sardina pilchardus (Walbaum, 1792) in the southeastern Mediterranean waters

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The European pilchard, Sardina pilchardus, is a key small pelagic fish sustaining Mediterranean ecosystems and fisheries. This study represents the first comprehensive biological and population dynamics assessment of the European pilchard by applying the length‐based spawning potential ratio (LB‐SPR) approach to S.

Dansgaard‐Oeschger and Heinrich event imprints in Alboran Sea paleotemperatures [PDF]

Paleoceanography, 1999
Past sea surface temperature (SST) evolution in the Alboran Sea (western Mediterranean) during the last 50,000 years has been inferred from the study of C37 alkenones in International Marine Global Change Studies MD952043 core. This record has a time resolution of ∼200 years allowing the study of millennial‐scale and even shorter climatic changes.

Development of coccolithophore-based transfer functions in the western Mediterranean sea: a sea surface salinity reconstruction for the last 15.5 kyr [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2015
A new data set of 88 marine surface sediment samples and related oceanic environmental variables (temperature, salinity, chlorophyll a, oxygen, etc.) was studied to quantify the relationship between assemblages of coccolithophore species and modern ...

Assessment of Bottom Trawl Impacts on the Status of Seabed Communities in European Seas

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 285-299, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Bottom trawling affects seabed habitats, but its large‐scale impacts remain poorly quantified. Assessment of trawling impacts is essential to support monitoring and achieving sustainability objectives under international conventions, sustainable development goals, and seafood certification programs.

Tropicalization of the Mediterranean Sea Reflected in Fish Diversity Changes: A Case Study from Spanish Waters

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The Mediterranean Sea, a semi-enclosed basin at mid-latitudes, is experiencing significant environmental changes driven by global warming. This study examines recent shifts in fish species composition within Spanish Mediterranean waters, focusing on the ...

Evidence for Miocene subduction beneath the Alboran Sea (Western Mediterranean) from 40Ar/39Ar age dating and the geochemistry of volcanic rocks from holes 977A and 978A [PDF]

, 1999
Volcanic pebbles in gravels from Sites 977 and 978 in the Alboran Sea (western Mediterranean) were dated (using the 40Ar/ 39Ar single-crystal laser technique) and analyzed for their major- and trace-element compositions (determined by X-ray ...

Laguna Fuente de Piedra: An example of a dolomite factory recording ~50,000 years of depositional and paleoclimatic evolution

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study characterises carbonate mineral precipitation mechanisms and their paleoenvironmental implications in a semi‐arid, saline playa lake system. SEM image with EDS spectra shows microcrystalline, spherical shaped dolomite crystals from Laguna Fuente de Piedra composed of nanocrystals with bacterial voids and EPS.

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
