Póster presentado en el 6th International Otolith Symposium (IOS 2018), celebrado en Keelung (Taiwan) del 15 al 20 abril de 2018.Aphia minuta and Crystallogobius linearis are small-sized neotenic and progenetic species, short lived (<1 year) and are target of a small-scale fishery on the W and central Mediterranean. The fishery operates from December to March in concomitance with their coastal migration and shoaling in winter. The biology of A. minuta was studied on the 90’s[1] whilst nothing is known for C. linearis. Depending of the year the relative abundance of both species in the catches may differ notably with a clear repercussion on the price because C. linearis is less appreciated than A. minuta. The causes of such fluctuations are ...
