Species diversity, taxonomy and distribution of Chondrichthyes in the Mediterranean and Black Sea (2020, methodology): “Tows allocation in trawl surveys were done according to a random-stratified sampling scheme including five bathymetric strata: 10–50 m, 51–100 m, 101–200 m, 201–500 m, and 501–800 m (Relini et al. 2000; Bertrand et al. 2002; Massutí & Moranta 2003; Tserpes et al. 2013; Serena et al. 2014).”
Feeding ecology of demersal elasmobranchs from the shelf and slope off the Balearic Sea (western Mediterranean) (2011, methodology): “Given that there is no bathymetric segregation of size classes either in R. clavata or in the populations of G. melastomus living on the MS in our study area (Massutí and Moranta, 2003), the observed ontogenetic shift might be a way of avoiding intraspecific competition.”
Overview of the conservation status of cartilaginous fishes (Chondrichthyans) in the Mediterranean Sea (2007, background): “The low rate of exchange between isolated populations, for example angelshark Squatina spp. populations around the Balearics, leaves them especially prone to local depletion, given that recolonisation rates will be extremely low (Massutí and Moranta 2003).”
