“…Bay of Biscay; Loch Torridon, Scotland; Fishguard harbour, South Wales) and even interspecific connections between burrows are known, e.g. between the angular crab and the mud shrimp (Atkinson et al 1977) or the angular crab and the Norway lobster (Atkinson 1974). Trenkel et al (2007) found that direct competition between the angular crab and the Norway lobster seems to be reduced by different diurnal activity patterns in the Bay of Biscay.…”

The angular crab Goneplax rhomboides is native to the northeastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea. It has rarely been reported from the North Sea, with no evidence of sustainable populations. Compiled survey data, however, revealed an increasing abundance of this species in the North Sea since 2000. The data were used to (1) describe the range expansion of the angular crab into the North Sea; and (2) to apply species distribution modeling (maximum entropy approach-MAXENT) to predict the potential habitats of this species. Habitats of species with a similar ecology were modeled to analyse habitat overlap and potential competition. The spatial and temporal patterns of records revealed that the expansion of the angular crab into the North Sea is due to natural larval dispersal rather than anthropogenic vectors. Modeled habitats of the angular crab showed a core distribution area along the Scottish coastline and in the southern North Sea. Sea bottom temperatures in February had the highest influence on the model results. We concluded that the angular crab has extended its distribution range from the northeastern Atlantic to the North Sea, which was facilitated by an increase in water temperature and the prevailing hydrodynamics over the last decade. This was the first time that a benthic range expansion was observed in quasi real time for the North Sea. Habitats of the angular crab overlapped those of possible competitors to a large extent. However, coexistence of the species is expected rather than any negative effects resulting from the range expansion of the angular crab.

“…Kaya et al. (2001) reported that the oldest specimen from the Izmir Bay was 5 years old, while Atkinson and Pullin (1976) noted 5‐year‐old specimens in Lundy (England). The observed total length L t = 55.5 cm in this study is the maximum observed value in the Adriatic; the previous value was L t = 54.0 cm (Jardas, 1996).…”

“…The behaviour, feeding, age, growth, mortality, sex ratio, spawning season, size at maturity and fisheries aspects of red bandfish have been studied thoroughly in various areas of its distribution (Vives et al., 1959; Atkinson et al., 1977; Bridges et al., 1982; Isola and Relini, 1984; Stergiou et al., 1992, 1996; Stergiou, 1993a,b; Stergiou and Papaconstantinou, 1993). However, published information on its biology and ecology in the Adriatic Sea is limited.…”

Age, growth and mortality were analysed for red bandfish, Cepola macrophthalma, collected in the eastern Adriatic from May 2002 to June 2003. The oldest male was estimated to be age 4, the oldest female age 3. Parameters of the von Bertalanffy growth equation are: L ¥ = 55.0 cm (SE = 0.1), K = 0.445 (SE = 0.074) and t 0 = )0.1 (SE = 0.001) for males, and L ¥ = 48.9 cm (SE = 0.167), K = 0.395 (SE = 0.062) and t 0 = )0.009 (SE = 0.02) for females. The overall sex ratio was 1.42 : 1 in favour of males. Total mortality, corresponding to the slope of the descending limb of the catch curve, was Z = 1.20 per year for females and Z = 1.23 per year for males. Exploitation ratios were E = 0.479 for females and E = 0.433 for males.

“…The stomachs of bandfi sh from Ebro estuary contained also deep-water plankton species. Other studies-conducted by Atkinson (1976) and Atkinson et al (1977) in the Bristol Channel (12 m of depth) and covering one and 10 fi sh specimens, respectively-revealed that the dominant food items were copepods (Calanus helgolandicus, Centropages typicus, Temora longicornis, and Candacia armata). Few other food items, such as euphausiids, chaetognaths (Sagitta spp.…”

“…This would be consistent with the results of Stergiou (1993), who concluded that, red bandfi sh food preference changes according to the abundance of the plankton rather than the size of planktonic organisms. According to Vives et al (1959) and Atkinson (1977) there was a relation between the composition of zooplankton found in the stomach contents of the red bandfi sh and the depth they inhabit.…”

Background. The red bandfi sh, Cepola macrophthalma (Linnaeus, 1758), is a benthic fi sh usually not exceeding 450 cm in length. It occurs in the eastern Atlantic from the British Isles to the north of Senegal and is also common throughout the Mediterranean Sea. The red bandfi sh has no commercial value and is often represented in the discarded catch. The knowledge of the feeding ecology, of non-commercial as well as commercial species, is essential for implementing a multispecies approach to fi shery management. Studies on red bandfi sh feeding biology have been rather scarce and the majority of them lacked taxonomical approach. The presently reported study constitutes the fi rst report on the diet of Cepola macrophthalma from two bays on the Turkish coast. Material and methods. The study was based on the specimens of Cepola macrophthalma collected in İzmir Bay and Sığacık Bay from May 2005 to June 2006. The following basic parameters were calculated, based on the data collected during the analysis of red bandfi sh diet: relative number of food items in the gut content, frequency of occurrence, and relative weight of total gut content. Principal food items were determined using the index of relative importance (%IRI). The differences in the diet composition were tested for length groups and seasons by using the Bray-Curtis similarity index for both areas studied. Results. A total of 380 stomachs were examined in two bays. According to the analyses a total of 18 different prey species belonging to nine major systematic groups were found, i.e., Anthomedusae, Siphonophora, Polychaeta, Crustacea, Mollusca, Chaetognatha, Appendicularia, Thaliacea, and Actinopterygii. Concerning overall diet composition, crustaceans (especially copepods) were the most important prey in terms of %IRI, %N, %F, and %W in all seasons. In this study, a total of 80 taxa were found and identifi ed. According to the Bray-Curtis similarity index, the diet of the red bandfi sh was similar within all seasons for both areas. Conclusion. Stomach content analysis of red bandfi sh showed that it is a zooplanktophagous species. In addition to bottom species it feeds also on pelagic organisms. This fact indicates ontogenetically based food preferences of the species.
