Citations in the corpus

• Prey depletion caused by overfishing and the decline of marine megafauna in eastern Ionian Sea coastal waters (central Mediterranean) (2006, background): “Excessive fishing pressure is a growing concern, worldwide (e.g., Jackson et al., 2001; Pitcher, 2001; Pauly et al., 2002) and is having profound direct and indirect impacts on Mediterranean ecosystems (Sala, 2004).”
• Overview of the conservation status of the marine fishes of the Mediterranean Sea (2011, background): “Depletion of top-level predators in the Mediterranean Sea, such as monk seals, sharks, tunas, swordfish and groupers, has altered marine food webs and changed the ecology of many areas of the Mediterranean (Sala 2004).”
• Community-wide effects of marine reserves in the Mediterranean Sea (2007, methodology): “Even though the food web of subtidal rocky reefs include complex and multiple trophic interactions, the link between predatory fish, sea urchins and macroalgae has been found to be the path through which fishing may dramatically affect the overall community (see Sala 2004).”
• Overfishing and the disappearance of short-beaked common dolphins from western Greece (2008, background): “Unsustainable fishing has been implicated in dramatic ecological changes in the Mediterranean Sea (Sala 2004), where it has caused the decline of many fish stocks (Caddy & Griffiths 1990, De Walle et al. 1993, Stanners & Bourdeau 1995, Caddy 1997, Garcia et al. 2005).”
• Structural Degradation in Mediterranean Sea Food Webs: Testing Ecological Hypotheses Using Stochastic and Mass-Balance Modelling (2008, background): “Evidence of fishing activity can be traced back to ancient times all over the Mediterranean Sea (for example, Cutting 1956; CIESM 2000; Florido 2004), and its coastal regions were already considered overexploited at the beginning of the nineteenth century (Margalef 1985) and show structural changes ”
• Ecology and conservation of common bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus in the Mediterranean Sea (2009, background): “Overfishing is having profound direct and indirect impacts on Mediterranean ecosystems (Sala, 2004).”
