“…The first protected area sampled is the second largest wetland on the Mediterranean coast (Benedito Durà, Martín, Volpedo, & Santamalia, ) with a lake connected to the sea by three artificial channels that regulate water flow throughout the year (Soria, Miracle, & Vicente, ). The second studied area, SP, is a coastal salt marsh formed by channels, ponds and dams highly modified by human activities and connected to the Mediterranean Sea (Belda Antolí, Martínez‐Pérez, Martín Cantarino, López Pomares, & Seva Román, ). The local fishing communities collected specimens bimonthly with gill nets between October 2011 and March 2012.…”

Summary The aim of this study was to identify and characterize juvenile Mugil cephalus (flathead grey mullet) habitats in the Valencian community by means of otolith morphometry and microchemistry. Specimens (total length: 250–350 mm) were obtained from October 2011 to March 2012 with gill nets in two protected wetlands: the Parque Nartural de l'Albufera de Valencia (AV) (n = 45), a Mediterranean lake; and the Parque Natural Salinas de Santa Pola (SP) (n = 37), a coastal salt marsh. Otolith shape indices (circularity, rectangularity, aspect ratio, surface occupied by sulcus, ellipticity and form factor) and microchemistry (Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca ratios) were measured and compared as area markers. The chemical composition of the water in both areas was also obtained. Morphometric results showed, by an ANOVA with Bonferroni contrasts, that saccular otoliths from AV individuals had more edge complexity, hence a higher circularity index (p < .001), but that there was less otolith percentage occupied by the sulcus (p < .001). When analyzing the morphometric variables simultaneously, both sites differed significantly (Hotelling's T2 < 0.001). A paired t‐test among sites of the microchemical variables showed that otoliths of AV presented higher values of Ba/Ca ratios and lower Sr/Ca ratios (p < .001). This coincides with water values obtained and could be associated with the low salinity observed in the lake. The opposite pattern was observed in SP, both for otolith and water samples, this being associated with the high‐salinity waters of the area. Results obtained in the present research suggest, by the use of otolith morphometry and microchemistry, that the nursery grounds of juvenile M. cephalus in the Valencian community could be differentiated. Even though habitats could be separated using otolith morphometry, only a few of the studied shape indices were important in area differentiation. Nevertheless, the use of both methodologies simultaneously could be robust habitat markers for this species.

Resumen. En un texto del Libro de la Caza de don Juan Manuel (inicios siglo XIV), muy citado en diferentes ámbitos por constituir el primer testimonio de la riqueza faunística del actual Sistema de Zonas Húmedas del Sur de Alicante, se alude a la riqueza cinegética de una acequia mandada construir por su padre, el infante D. Manuel. En la presente comunicación, y sobre la base de una intensiva búsqueda de documentación archivística, reconocimiento del terreno y testimonios orales, exponemos qué era esa acequia del siglo XIII, su importancia para el mantenimiento del actual Parque Natural de las Salinas de Santa Pola a lo largo de los siglos contra las tendencias naturales del medio, sus transformaciones históricas y su pervivencia, en cierto modo, en el sistema actual.Al tiempo, y sobre esta base, se plantea una reflexión sobre la relevancia de conocer el peso que las infraestructuras e intervenciones hidráulicas han tenido en la configuración actual del ecosistema del Sistema de Zonas Húmedas del Sur de Alicante, así como del valor de la conciencia histórica de la población local y la trascendencia que ello debería tener para una más adecuada e integrada gestión de este patrimonio que es a la vez cultural y ecológico.Palabras clave. Albufera de Elche, historia ambiental, azarbe, patrimonio hidráulico.Abstract. In a well-known fragment of the Libro de la Caza (Book of the Hunt) by don Juan Manuel (beginnings 14 c.) a reference is made to a canal (acequia) "ordered to be built by don Manuel". In our present communication, we expose, on the base of an intensive archival research, field work and some local oral sources, what this canal was, its importance for the maintenance through the centuries of the Albufera de Elche (present Nature Park of the Salines of Santa Pola), and its historical transformation until our times.We propose also a reflection on the importance of historical knowledge for the understanding of the origins and functionalism of our present Southern Alicante Wetlands System, as so as on the influence of the historical consciousness of local population for a more integrated and sustainable management of these cultural ecosystems
