A critical habitat for Mediterranean fish resources: shelf-break areas with Leptometra phalangium (Echinodermata: Crinoidea) (2004, background): “…break in the distribution and dynamics of demersal species is very poorly understood in the Mediterranean, even though previous studies have revealed the occurrence of a defined fish assemblage on deeper shelf/shallow slope bottoms (Gaertner et al. 1999; Biagi et al. 2002; Colloca et al. 2003a).”
Overview of the conservation status of cartilaginous fishes (Chondrichthyans) in the Mediterranean Sea (2007, background): “Commercial trawling is intense between depths of 50– 700m in the Mediterranean (Colloca et al. 2003).”
Demersal resource assemblages in the trawl fishing grounds off the Balearic Islands (western Mediterranean) (2005, background): “On the other hand, our results are similar to those obtained from the analysis of the whole demersal macrofauna developed in the central (Biagi et al., 2002; Colloca et al., 2003) and eastern (Kallianiotis et al.”
Novel methods for the design and evaluation of marine protected areas in offshore waters (2008, background): “However, evidence from at least one recent study (Colloca et al. 2003) supports the proposition that marine ecosystems with high fish diversity also support a high diversity of other functional groups.”
