| Summary: | The ling Molva molva is a widespread gadid in the Northeast Atlantic and one example of a poorly studied species of particular interest, being its distribution affected by climate warming. The ling supposedly occurs in the cold waters of the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea, where it used to be commonly fished, but to our best knowledge, records of M. molva after the 1990s are not available from the scientific literature. Here we report the recent capture of two individuals, one of them of considerable size, at 35 nautical miles off the coast of Castelló (Spain, NW Mediterranean). Manjić morski (Molva molva) je široko rasprostranjena vrsta u sjeveroistočnom Atlantiku i jedan od primjera slabo istraženih vrsta od posebnog interesa zbog njegove rasprostranjenosti koja je pod utjecajem zagrijavanja klime.Manjić morski se navodno pojavljuje u hladnim vodama sjeverozapadnog Sredozemnog mora, gdje je nekad bio uobičajeni ulov, ali prema našim saznanjima, zapisi o Molva molva nakon 1990-ih nisu dostupni iz znanstvene literature. U ovom radu navodimo nedavni ulov dvije jedinke, od kojih je jedna znatne veličine, na 35 nau-tičkih milja od obale Castelló (Španjolska). |
