Journal ArticleDOI
The potential use of mangrove forests as nitrogen sinks of shrimp aquaculture pond effluents : the role of denitrification
Victor H. Rivera-Monroy,Luis Alfonso Torres,Nixon Bahamon,Federico Newmark,Robert R. Twilley +4 more
TL;DR: A generalized nitrogen budget was constructed to evaluate the potential role of mangrove sediments as a sink for dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in shrimp pond effluents, representing an approximate doubling in relation to estuarine water concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement of trawl selectivity in the NW Mediterranean demersal fishery by using a 40 mm square mesh codend
TL;DR: These trials indicate that substantial improvement in size-selectivity for these commercially important species is achieved by switching from the conventional 40 mm diamond mesh codend to a 40 mm square mesh codends made of 5 mm diameter knotted PE-netting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between environment and the occurrence of the deep-water rose shrimp Aristeus antennatus (Risso, 1816) in the Blanes submarine canyon (NW Mediterranean)
Francisco Sardà,Nixon Bahamon,Guiomar Rotllant,María del Mar Flexas,J.D. Sánchez,Diana Zúñiga,J. Coenjaerts,Daniel Orellana,Gabriel Jordá,Joan Puigdefabregas,Anna Sanchez-Vidal,A. Calafat,Daniel Martin,Manuel Espino +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a multidisciplinary study characterizing the relationship between hydrodynamic conditions (currents and water masses) and the presence and abundance of the deepwater rose shrimp Aristeus antennatus in a submarine canyon (Blanes canyon in the NW Mediterranean Sea).
Journal ArticleDOI
Activity rhythms in the deep-sea: a chronobiological approach.
Jacopo Aguzzi,Corrado Costa,Paolo Menesatti,José A. García,Nixon Bahamon,Pere Puig,Francesc Sardà +6 more
TL;DR: This review will focus on the behavioural rhythms of crustacean decapods inhabiting depths where the sun light is absent, and potential scenarios for future research on deep-sea decapod behaviour are suggested by new in situ observation technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of a square mesh codend and sorting grids to reduce catches of young fish and improve sustainability in a multispecies bottom trawl fishery in the Mediterranean
TL;DR: In this article, the size selection performance of a 36-mm square-mesh codend and two sorting grids with 20 and 15 mm bar spacing was assessed for the Mediterranean demersal trawl fishery.
