New monographic volume of Scientia Marina:
MEDITERRANEAN DEMERSAL RESOURCES AND ECOSYSTEMS: 25 YEARS OF MEDITS TRAWL SURVEY

Edited by Maria Teresa Spedicato, George Tserpes, Bastien Mérigot and Enric Massutí
All contents free online: http://bit.ly/2RXPBHC

This book is being published 25 years after the start of the MEDITS trawl survey in the northern Mediterranean Sea (up to 800 m deep). It follows the volume issued by Scientia Marina in 2002, which was based on the first five years of the MEDITS time series (1994-1999).
The main aim of the current volume is to disseminate scientific knowledge based on MEDITS data and achieved at demersal population and community levels, in addition to examining other key aspects. It contains 20 scientific papers. The book presents an introductory paper, which provides an update on the MEDITS technical and scientific specifications, focusing on the new aspects introduced to support the ecosystem approach to fisheries, and includes a number of scientific articles based on MEDITS data.
