Two sympatric, not externally discernible and heavily-exploited deep species with coastal migration during spawning season: Implications for sustainable stocks management of Aphanopus carbo and A. intermedius around Madeira
Several artisanal fisheries target deepwater species. These stocks are highly sensitive to overfishing because of their slow growth and late maturation. This vulnerability is higher if species concentrate during spawning season in coastal areas, as occur with scabbardfish (Aphanopus spp.). In this p...
