Continental shelf and upper slope fish communities were studied along the Catalan coast based on 66 experimental bottom otter trawls. A total of 79 demersal fish species were studied by means of cluster analysis and multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) ordination for community structure. Analysis revealed the existence of five major location clusters. Similarity percentage analysis (SIMPER) was determined by comparing the dissimilarity between two groups of samples using the discriminating species. Geomorphological characteristics, bottom substratum and depth showed direct influences on species assemblages. High correlation between the biotic data samples and depth was observed. The fish species assemblages identified five main demersal fish associations which corresponded with the five location clusters and with five benthic sediments (mud of the upper slope, sand and gravel, mud of the shelf, muddy-sand and sand with rocky outcrops).

Feeding Periodicity

The evaluation of the daily ration and feeding periodicity in a Mediterranean demersal fish assemblage under natural conditions is presented. Data were obtained during four trawl surveys conducted on the shelf-edge of the central Mediterranean Sea. Recently, researchers have begun to consider this area an essential fish habitat due to its extremely high productivity and diversity. The species which typified the assemblage were the fish Macroramphosus scolopax, Lepidotrigla cavillone, Mullus barbatus, Serranus hepatus, Argentina sphyraena and Glossanodon leioglossus. Fish were collected at three hour intervals throughout four 24 h sampling periods representing annual seasons. The study was based on the analysis of catch data and stomach fullness per setting time. Results show significant variation of feeding periodicity among species within daytime. The amount of food consumed daily, calculated according to the Elliott & Persson model, is compared to the patterns reported in literature for Atlantic fish species with similar trophic habits. Higher values of daily consumption could be related to the reproductive period for most of the above mentioned species.
