Engraulis encrasicolus and Sardina pilchardus stocks are highly variable in terms of
recruitment, biomass and spatial distribution. Changes in habitat conditions may influence …

In this paper, a predator-prey model for exploited fish populations is considered, where the
prey and the predator both show schooling behavior. Due to this coordinated behavior …

Abstract A 12-year time series (2005–2016) was examined to explore relationships between
European anchovy density, growth, reproduction and habitat dynamics in an upwelling …

Abstract The Multi-Beam Echo Sounder (MBES) is a tool that allows getting information
about bathymetric, morphological and compositional characteristics of the seabed surface …

This paper describes the first application of the end-to-end model Atlantis in the Strait of
Sicily (SoS). The model is designed to simulate ecosystem dynamics under the influence of …

Marine plastic pollution is a global issue affecting ecosystems and various aspects of human
life. The scientific community is exploring new monitoring and containment approaches …

We present the bathy-morphological map at a scale of 1: 50,000 of the area around the
submerged Ferdinandea Island, the 'Neverland'of the Sicily Channel (central Mediterranean …

In this paper, a delayed diffusive predator–prey model with schooling behaviour and Allee
effect is investigated. The existence and local stability of equilibria of model without time …

We present the first results of a multidisciplinary research aimed at the detection and
mapping of Active Fluid Vents (AFVs) at the seafloor of the Naples Bay, Italy. This segment of …

In this paper, a diffusive predator–prey model is considered in which the predator and prey
populations both exhibit schooling behavior. The system's spatial dynamics are captured via …
