The small-scale fisheries of the Alicante gulf: The case of Santa Pola port (SE Spain) as a preliminary approach.

摘要: The artisanal fleet operating in the Alicante Gulf was analysed from data collected at the Santa Pola port using, multivariate analysis and GLM, by first time in this type of fishery. Monthly landings by boat from 1994 to 2002 were used to describe activity groups, identify discriminant species, characterise catch composition by gear and obtain a derived abundance index for selected species. The results suggested that the fishery was more or less stable throughout the years.
