Evaluation of Homarus gammarus (Crustacea: Decapoda: Nephropidae) catches and potential in a Mediterranean small-scale fishery
The aim of this study was to obtain a better understanding of the exploitation pattern of the European lobster population in a fully representative small-scale fishery of the Mediterranean (Corsica, France) and to collect initial biological information on this species. Data were collected by scienti...
