A total of 147 benthic species and 98 demersal species were identified. These formed four well-defined assemblages, whose structure and composition were related to depth. Total species richness and abundance of both demersal and benthic species decreased with depth. The most abundant structuring epibenthic species which characterised the identified assemblages were the tall sea pen <i>Funicularia quadrangularis</i> (present at depths of ca. 50–700 m), the red sea pen <i>Pennatula rubra</i> (ca. 100–450 m), the hydroids <i>Lytocarpia myriophyllum</i> (ca. 100–250 m) and <i>Nemertesia</i> sp. (ca. 100–600), the soft coral <i>Alcyonium palmatum</i> (ca. 100–400 m), and the anemone <i>Actinauge richardi</i> (ca. 100–600 m). These results illustrate how, in the absence of dedicated benthic mapping studies, MEDITS data can be used to provide preliminary information that would not otherwise be available.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Maximising MEDITS: using data collected from trawl surveys to characterise the benthic and demersal assemblages of the circalittoral and deeper waters around the Maltese Islands (Central Mediterranean)","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:17.368041","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Sicilian Channel; Malta; Biocoenoses; Community structure; Megabenthos; Mediterranean International Trawl Survey; GFCM GSA 15","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2016,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2020-11-13","DateCreate":"2020-11-13","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000414755500019","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1016/j.rsma.2015.07.006"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":330923,"PubliDate":2016,"Pagination":"163-175","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"3","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":259094,"SerRR":"Regional Studies in Marine Science.
