Identifying essential fish habitat for small pelagic species in Spanish Mediterranean waters (2008, background): “Previous studies have documented the productivity of these areas, where oceanographic processes such as mixing by river flow and upwelling cause the nutrient enrichment of surface waters (Estrada, 1996; Salat, 1996; Agostini & Bakun, 2002).”
Important areas at sea for adult loggerhead sea turtles in the Mediterranean Sea: satellite tracking corroborates findings from potentially biased sources (2008, background): “Interestingly, the north Adriatic Sea and the Gulf of Gabès are by far the largest areas of continental shelf in the entire Mediterranean and regions of exceptionally high primary productivity (Agostini and Bakun 2002).”
Plankton in the open Mediterranean Sea: a review (2009, background): “Based on an analysis of Ekman wind-driven surface transport, intermittent coastal upwelling events are also likely to take place in selected regions of the MS, namely the Alboran Sea, Balearic Sea, Straits of Sicily, East Adriatic Sea and North-East Aegean Sea (Agostini and Bakun, 2002).”
Modelling potential spawning habitat of sardine (Sardina pilchardus) and anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) in the Bay of Biscay (2007, background): “…often refers to the fate of eggs could be stated "region where the conditions are suitable for eggs and larvae survival" (see e.g. Bakun, 1996, Agostini and Bakun, 2002) and is related to the habitat suitability of Fretwell (1972): "the average potential contribution from that habitat to the…”
Potential impacts of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions on Mediterranean marine ecosystems and cetaceans (2008, background): “…zones, sea state); and nutrient enrichment and planktonic production (e.g. Cury & Roy, 1989; Sabates & Gili, 1991; Garcia & Palomera, 1996; Regner, 1996; Agostini & Bakun, 2002; Lafuente et al., 2002; LLoret et al., 2004; Lafuente et al., 2005; Basilone et al., 2006; Sabates et al., 2006).”
Oceanographic habitat, growth and mortality of larval anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) in the northern Aegean Sea (eastern Mediterranean) (2007, background): “... distinct, with reduced gene exchanges (Magoulas et al. 1996) and inhabit the NW Mediterranean (Catalan Sea and Gulf of Lions), the Adriatic Sea, and the northern Aegean Sea (Somarakis et al. 2004), i.e., areas with wide continental shelves, high productivity, in relation to the highly oligotroph”
Structural Degradation in Mediterranean Sea Food Webs: Testing Ecological Hypotheses Using Stochastic and Mass-Balance Modelling (2008, background): “Both areas are important for the reproduction of small pelagic fish (Agostini and Bakun 2002) and are also strategic areas for marine vertebrate conservation (Groombridge 1990; Zotier and others 1999; Bearzi and others 2004).”
Small pelagic fish in the new millennium: A bottom-up view of global research effort (2020, background): “…(e.g., the Aegean Sea, the Gulf of Lions and nearby Catalan Coast, the Alboran Sea, the Straits of Sicily/Tunisian Coast, and the Adriatic Sea: Agostini and Bakun, 2002; Basilone et al., 2006; Zarrad and Missaoui, 2006; Tugores et al., 2011; Giannoulaki et al., 2013; Bonanno et al., 2014).”
Rapid changes in growth, condition, size and age of small pelagic fish in the Mediterranean (2014, unknown): “397 Possible mechanisms causing such an anomaly can be related to human pressure (fishing) or environmental changes 398 (Sinclair and Iles 1989; Agostini and Bakun 2002; Bakun 2010).”
Ontogenetic and seasonal changes in the feeding habits and trophic levels of two small pelagic fish species (2012, background): “Therefore, the food web of areas with relatively low average primary production, like the Gulf of Lions, is more linear than the food web in zones with upwelling (e.g. the Galician coast, where the trophic structure is more intricate and ramified) (Agostini & Bakun 2002).”
Seasonal changes in the diet of a critically endangered seabird and the importance of trawling discards (2009, background): “…Iberian continental shelf (Louzao et al. 2006a), a highly productive and spawning area for small pelagic Wsh such as anchovies (Engraulis encrasicolus) and pilchards (Sardina pilchardus) and where important Wshing Xeets operate (Abad et al. 1998; Agostini and Bakun 2002; Palomera et al. 2007).”
