TL;DR: Trawl surveys carried out in the Adriatic Sea in 1948 and 1998 provided information on the changes that occurred in the composition and distribution of demersal fish resources over the 50 years period.

TL;DR: Morphological misidentifications were found across most orders, further confirming the need for a comprehensive DNA barcoding library as a valuable tool for the reliable identification of specimens in support of taxonomist who are reviewing current identification keys.

TL;DR: Results highlighted that juveniles are mostly concentrated in shallow water (0–30 m depth) along the Italian coast and their spatial distribution persisted along the sampled years and represent crucial information for the setting of international collaboration for a rational spatial-based management of the resource.

TL;DR: Age, growth and population structure of Modiolus barbatus from Mali Ston Bay, Croatia were determined using modal size (age) classes in length frequency distributions, annual pallial line scars on the inner shell surface, internal annual growth lines in shell sections of the middle nacreous layer and Calcein marked and transplanted mussels.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate existing spatial management regimes and potential new spatial and temporal closures in the northern and central Adriatic Sea using a simple modelling tool and two spatial simulations were carried out in order to verify the effectiveness of complementary methods for the management of fisheries.
