Species habitat occupation, observed during the third quarter IBTS from 1991 to 2010, has been expressed as rare, occasional, frequent, recurrent depending on density levels and variability over time.

Abundances were recoded in term of presence-absence. Geostatistical interpolation : the spatial variation of biological data were analysed using GENSTAT (GENSTAT 7 Committee, 2004), which is a GENeral STATistics package including the main geostatistical tools. It computes experimentala variograms, fits these with various authorised mathematical models and uses them to calculate kriged estimates on a fine regular grid (of latitudes and…

IOWAGA sea-states hindcast database generated by the wave model WAVEWATCH-III and forced by ECMWF winds on the Mediterranean grid over 2005-2017 period.

Species habitat occupation has been expressed as rare, occasional, frequent, recurrent depending on density levels and variability over time.

Biological data have been expressed in abundance (number of eggs per 20 m3) and always required to be log-transformed using a log10(x+1) transformation.

Fish larvae were collected during the night using a MIK (Methot Isaac Kidd) net (2m diameter, 500 um mesh). Abundances were expressed in term of number of individuals per 5000 cubic meter (ind.5000m-3). For clupeidae (herring and pilchard), gobiidae and ammodytidae, abundances were log-transformed (log10(x+1)) prior to analysis whereas for pleuronectidae and syngnathidae, abundances were recoded in term of presence-absence.
