Patterns of extirpation. II. The role of connectivity in the decline and recovery of elasmobranch populations in the German Bight as inferred from survey data
Abundance trends and distribution patterns from 1902 to 1932 for 7 elasmobranch species in the German Bight (eastern central North Sea) were analyzed and compared to survey trends for 1991 to 2009. Abundances of thornback ray Raja clavata, common skate Dipturus batis, smoothhound Mustelus spp., tope...
