Biogenic reefs created by Modiolus modiolus (Linnaeus, 1758) (horse mussel reefs) are marine habitats which support high levels of species biodiversity and provide valuable ecosystem services. Currently, M. modiolus reefs are listed as a threatened a...

Spatio-temporal variability in the population structure in North-east Atlantic stocks of horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) (2015)
Journal Article
Bozano, M., Mariani, S., Barratt, C., Sacchi, C., Boufana, B., & Coscia, I. (2015). Spatio-temporal variability in the population structure in North-east Atlantic stocks of horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus). Biology and Environment, 115B(3), 211-220. https://doi.org/10.3318/BIOE.2015.20

The long-term sustainability of fish stocks is dependent upon the identification of biologically meaningful demographic boundaries and, subsequently, appropriate assessment figures and management strategies. In the case of the horse mackerel, Trachur... Read More about Spatio-temporal variability in the population structure in North-east Atlantic stocks of horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus).
