L López-López, I Preciado, F Velasco, I Olaso… - Journal of Sea …, 2011 - Elsevier
Feeding habits and habitat preferences of five related species (Aspitrigla cuculus,
Chelidonichthys lucerna, Chelidonichthys obscurus, Eutrigla gurnardus and Trigla
lyra)(Scorpaeniformes: Triglidae) were studied in the southern Bay of Biscay. Specimens
were collected during annual bottom trawl surveys carried out every autumn between 1990
and 2008 on soft bottoms of the Galician and Cantabrian Sea continental shelf between 30
and 800m depth. All species were found to display a different depth distribution, despite co …
