Gil de Sola, Luis Ichthyofauna Alboran Sea Assemblages Spatial distribution Species richness Demersal species 34 pages, 5 figures, 9 tables This study describes the four main demersal fish assemblages identified along the continental shelf and slope (30–800 m depth) of the northern Alboran Sea (western Mediterranean), based on the analysis of the MEDITS (International bottom trawl survey in the Mediterranean) 12-year data series. We collected 186 fish species belonging to three classes, 24 orders and 69 families. Taxonomically, the order Perciformes was the most diverse, represented by 18 families and 58 species. Each assemblage had particular characteristics of abundance, biomass, mean fish weight and species richness. The geographical differences associated with the distribution of some species occurred within shelf assemblages. The middle slope was characterised by the highest similarity between samples, probably due to its lower environmental variability compared to that of the other assemblages. © 2015, Taylor & Francis This study was carried out within the framework of the MEDITS International programme coordinated in Spain by the Instituto Español de Oceanografía and co-funded by the European Union Peer Reviewed 2015-05-04T08:26:41Z 2015-05-04T08:26:41Z 2015 2015-05-04T08:26:41Z artículo http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 issn: 0022-2933 e-issn: 1464-5262 Journal of Natural History 49(19-20): 1191-1224 (2015) http://hdl.handle.net/10261/114601 10.1080/00222933.2014.1001457 https://doi.org/10.1080/00222933.2014.1001457 none Taylor & Francis
