Study and evaluation of the biological parameters of “Illex coindetii” (Vérany, 1839) in the context of bottom trawling along the Catalan coast

Given its ecological role and importance as a marine resource, “Illex coindetii” has been the focus of scientific research since the beginning of the 20th century. For this reason, to support the sustainability of its exploitation and to understand how environmental changes and anthropic pressure can affect its dynamics, the estimation of biological and population parameters is crucial. Therefore, the objective of this Master’s thesis is to provide an updated overview of the biological and population parameters of Illex coindetii in the context of bottom trawling along Catalan coast.

Report on the marine litter collected by bottom trawlers in Catalonia 2024 (ICATMAR, 25-09)

This report contains information on the marine litter fraction of the catch of the bottom trawl fleet of the northern GSA 6, gathered through ICATMAR’s fisheries monitoring program.

Who are we?

ICATMAR is carrying out a programme to monitor both recreational and commercial fishing along the Catalan coast, and a programme of observation, analysis and prediction of the physical characteristics of the sea.
