Observations of turtles in the open-ocean are essential to complement the information collected at nesting sites and rookeries, especially during the ‘lost years’ of their surface-pelagic juvenile phase. We used a large dataset of observations at sea collected onboard Seychelles, Spanish and French purse seiners over the period 2003-2019 to describe the occurrence of five species of turtles in the Western Indian Ocean: green ( Chelonia mydas ), loggerhead ( Caretta caretta ), leatherback ( Dermochelys coriacea ), Olive ridley ( Lepidochelys olivacea ) and hawksbill ( Eretmochelys imbricata ). A total of 895 turtles were recorded by human observers, 487 turtles after having been caught in the purse seine and hauled onboard the vessels and 408 turtles... |

The effects of fish farming on a seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) meadow at Fornells Bay, Minorca (Balearic Islands) were studied. Changes in plant and meadow features (e.g. shoot morphology, shoot density, biomass, rhizome growth, nutrient and soluble sugars concentrations...) in three stations along a transect from a disturbed (organic pollution due to fish cultures) to an undisturbed site were assessed. The fish culture had ceased in 1991; however, seagrass decline, already reported in a previous study for the period 1988-1990, was still taking place at the time of sampling (July 1994). Differences between stations were very clear; the station closest to the fish cages showed reduced shoot density, shoot size, underground biomass, sucrose concentration and... |
