Data are initially restricted, but the access condition relaxes to academic or unrestricted once a specified period of time after an event (such as collection, publication, completion of QC procedures or project cessation) has elapsed Description
In order to improve our ecological knowledge of key coastal species exploited in the Mediterranean Sea, the global objective of CONNECT-MED is to unravel the spatial ecology of the seabream (Sparus aurata), seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax), the dreamfish (Sarpa salpa), european eel (Anguilla anguilla) and mullet (Mugil sp.), which together represent 50% of the total French artisanal fishery catch. For that purpose a regional network of 138 hydrophones (MARBEC and CEFREM-reseach laboratories), as well as temperature and salinity loggers, were deployed between 2017 and 2019 in coastal lagoons and at sea in the Gulf of Lion. more
The project aims to tag more than 600 individuals, in both the lagoons and at sea (between 2017 and 2020) and the regional hydrophone network will allow tracking of tagge d individuals for several years. This study will allow us to fill some key ecological knowledge gaps for those species such as (1) Estimating the fidelity to one or several lagoons , (2) Quantifying the seasonal use of sea and Lagoons , (3) Estimating the regional connectivity within seasons and (4) Identifying key spawning areas Scope Themes: Biology > Fish, Fisheries > Fish stocks/catches/taggings Keywords: Marine/Coastal, Brackish water, Acoustic telemetry, Acoustic Telemetry, Tracking, Anguilla anguilla (Linnaeus, 1758), Dicentrarchus labrax (Linnaeus, 1758), Mugil Linnaeus, 1758, Sarpa salpa (Linnaeus, 1758), Sparus aurata Linnaeus, 1758 Taxonomic coverage
