Abstract	The garfish Belone belone represents the only valid endemic Belone species for the Mediterranean Sea and the eastern Atlantic Ocean. It shows a wide global distribution range, with a high commercial value and ecological relevance in the pelagic domain. Despite this, there needs to be more knowledge regarding the otoliths of this species, with the total absence of descriptions regarding asterisci and lapilli from Mediterranean populations and a lack of studies on the reliability of shape analysis on its sagittae. The present paper aims to provide the first main contours description of the three otoliths pairs from a Mediterranean population, providing an accurate investigation of morphology, morphometry, and intra-specific variability of sagittae, lapilli, and asterisci. Results showed (i) the absence of directional bilateral asymmetry and sexual asymmetry for the three otoliths pairs, (ii) a different morphology and morphometry of sagittae, lapilli and asterisci than those described in the literature, and (iii) an enhanced variability between sagittae morphometry and shape between the three investigated size classes. All these data confirmed the reliability of the studied species of shape analysis, showing a geographical and size-related variability of otoliths features probably related to genetics, environmental conditions, and life habits variations.

Abstract	Most Mediterranean fish and crustaceans’ stocks are overexploited, but they could increase if fishing intensity would be reduced for only a few years. Today exploited stocks are constituted of young and small fish that are mostly caught before they can reproduce. This paper, which is based on long-term data (1994–2010) obtained from experimental bottom trawl surveys, contributes to the Parapenaeus longirostris exploitation control in South Tyrrhenian Sea (SW Mediterranean; GSA 10). Stock dynamics parameters of rose shrimp were investigated and compared in two different locations along the North coasts of Sicily (South of GSA 10) characterized by different fishing patterns. A huge inter-annual biomass and density fluctuations of the investigated rose shrimp were recorded, although no significant trends over time were observed, in both sectors. It is worth highlighting that the mean year fishing indices (mean KW of the trawl fleet, as capacity index, and number of days at sea per month, as activity index), contrary to what is reported in literature, were significantly higher in the western part of the area, where the stock is surprisingly mainly composed of young specimens. The fishing / total mortality ratio F/Z showed an overfishing status of rose shrimp in the two sectors, but at a lower degree than the rose shrimp of the whole GSA 10. The present paper support two stocks conjecture for the rose shrimp. The different biological structures in the two studied sectors are mainly influenced by interactions among the typical high plasticity of the life history species in the Mediterranean Sea and several typologies and activities (including the illegal aspects) of fishing fleets harbored in the E and W sectors.

Abstract	Pharmaceuticals are widely recognized as potentially hazardous to aquatic ecosystems. In the last two decades, the constant intake of biologically active chemicals used in human healthcare has been related to the growing release of these agents into natural environments. As reported by several studies, various pharmaceuticals have been detected, mainly in surface water (seas, lakes, and rivers), but also in groundwater and drinking water. Moreover, these contaminants and their metabolites can show biological activity even at very low concentrations. This study aimed to evaluate the developmental toxicity of exposure to the chemotherapy drugs gemcitabine and paclitaxel in aquatic environments. Zebrafish (

Abstract	The present paper represents the first description of abnormal hermaphroditism in Galeus melastomus (Rafinesque, 1810). The black mouth cat shark specimen, collected in summer from southern Tyrrhenian Sea at the entrance of Salerno gulf, showed a basic intersexuality characterized by the presence of male secondary and female primary sexual characters. The reproductive system has been described with an accurate morphological analysis, also including a histological assessment of oocytes. Results showed the presence of only right clasper, not exceeding the pelvic fin in length, with the absence of internal males’ sexual organs. Concerning the female primary characters, the analysis of histological assessment showed the structure of mature oocyte, confirming the maturity stage of a mature female in active extruding stage, as highlighted by the macroscopic morphological analysis. Despite in many marine organisms’ hermaphroditism is a physiological condition showed by specimens during their lifecycle, in Elasmobranchs this is considered an abnormal condition, with some exceptions. The lack of information on hermaphroditism in elasmobranchs form the Mediterranean Sea requires an increase of scientific community’s attention, improving the knowledge on the reproductive biology of this sensitive taxon. This is essential to enhance the conservation of elasmobranchs populations in the entire Mediterranean basin.

Abstract	Merluccius merluccius is one of the most important Mediterranean benthopelagic predators. It represents a key species for the ecosystem’s functioning due to its fundamental role in the energy transferal between different domains and depth strata. The aim of this study was to explore the feeding habits of European hakes in the southern and central Mediterranean Sea, and also to analyze timescale variations and ontogenetic shift in five size length classes. A total of 411 stomachs collected from 2018 to 2020 were analyzed to assess diet and feeding habits. Results confirmed hakes’ role as a generalist benthopelagic predator, preying both in the suprabenthic layer and in the entire water column. Concerning the ontogenetic diet shift, juvenile hakes prefer zooplanktonic prey, while larger hakes have a diet mainly based on teleosts and decapods. The variations in diet composition between years, characterized by a fluctuation of cephalopods, bioluminescent teleost species and mesopelagic crustaceans, have highlighted the ability of European hake to model its diet to the geographical and prey availability. These features make analysis of the diet of M. merluccius essential to understanding the trophic dynamic existing in bentho-meso-pelagic environments, to improve ecosystem conservation in accordance with ecosystem-based fishery management.

Abstract	The rapid development of aquaculture makes it desirable to use environment-friendly methods of purifying the wastewater effluent. Seaweed is often cultured for the dual purpose of useful algal biomass production and its bioremediation potential. This paper offers a survey on growth characters and ecological functions of the macroalgae Gracilaria gracilis (Steentoft, L.M. Irvine & Farnham, 1995), collected from Ganzirri lagoon (Messina, Italy). The results obtained provided promising data in terms of growth rates, biomass and biofiltering potential of G. gracilis. A daily growth rate (DGR) of 0.70%/g and biomass 36,05 g/m³ was obtained using tanks with lower lighting. Its biofiltration efficiency was demonstrated by the strong correlation between the algal growth parameters (Y and DGR) and the concentration decrease of dissolved nutrients. Results provided in this study indicated that G. gracilis can find application in aquaculture systems as a biofilter and that biomass produced offers a valid resource for further biotechnological applications.

Abstract	Monitoring the occurrence and distribution of rare fish species is essential, especially in a semi-closed basin such as the Mediterranean Sea. Biologically interesting species often represent fishing waste (being part of the by-catch) and therefore are not retained, leading to a huge gap in data collection. Here we report about the occurrence in the Ionian Sea of a Zu cristatus (Bonelli, 1819) specimen, a mesopelagic fish from the order Lampriformes considered rare in the whole Mediterranean basin. The sample was captured at a depth of 720 m off the coast of Noto (Sicily, Italy) by deep-sea longline fisheries. The biometrics and meristic data were compared with all the available data on specimens previously reported in the Mediterranean Sea. It is interesting to note that, among the few records in the literature, most reports mention a lower depth range for this species. In fact, it is quite known that juvenile specimens of Z. cristatus were frequently found in shallow waters, while information about the biology of the adult stage is scarce, indicating they would seem to prefer much deeper environments. Considering the difficulty to collect data on this rare fish, this contribution can help to improve the knowledge about its distribution.

Abstract	Deep Sea environments represent the final collector of anthropogenic debris mainly represented by both plastic and non-plastic materials with different size. This led to potential contamination of deep marine fauna due to direct and indirect ingestion, representing a potential hazard for the species itself and for the final consumer. In this framework, the present study explored the occurrence of anthropogenic debris in the gastrointestinal tract of three Decapoda species of high commercial and ecological value (

Abstract	Lampriformes are circumglobally distributed and contain several families of strictly marine bony fishes that have a peculiar morphology. Lampriformes systematics is affected by limitations in biometric, meristic, and molecular data; for this reason, it underwent several rearrangements in the past. This review aimed to describe the biological and ecological characteristics of the order Lampriformes, summarizing the current taxonomy of the group. The main aim was to clarify what is known about the distribution of the order Lampriformes in the Mediterranean Sea, collecting all the scarce and fragmented reports and notes on their occurrence. Knowledge scarcity is due to their solitary nature, in addition to their low to absent economic value. Despite this, the order Lampriformes represents a taxon of high biological and ecological importance. The high depth range of distribution characterizes their lifestyle. In the Mediterranean Sea, four families are present-Lampridae, Lophotidae, Regalecidae, and Trachipteridae-with the following species respectively,

Abstract	The lack of data on the chronic effects of chloroacetanilide herbicide metabolites on non-target aquatic organisms creates a gap in knowledge about the comprehensive impacts of excessive and repeated pesticide use. Therefore, this study evaluates the long-term effects of propachlor ethanolic sulfonic acid (PROP-ESA) after 10 (T1) and 20 (T2) days at the environmental level of 3.5 μg.L⁻¹ (E1) and its 10x fold multiply 35 μg.L⁻¹ (E2) on a model organism Mytilus galloprovincialis. To this end, the effects of PROP-ESA usually showed a time- and dose-dependent trend, especially in its amount in soft mussel tissue. The bioconcentration factor increased from T1 to T2 in both exposure groups – from 2.12 to 5.30 in E1 and 2.32 to 5.48 in E2. Biochemical haemolymph profile and haemocyte viability were not affected by PROP-ESA exposure. In addition, the viability of digestive gland (DG) cells decreased only in E2 compared to control and E1 after T1. Moreover, malondialdehyde levels increased in E2 after T1 in gills, and DG, superoxidase dismutase activity and oxidatively modified proteins were not affected by PROP-ESA. Histopathological observation showed several damages to gills (e.g., increased vacuolation, over-production of mucus, loss of cilia) and DG (e.g., growing haemocyte trend infiltrations, alterations of tubules). This study revealed a potential risk of chloroacetanilide herbicide, propachlor, via its primary metabolite in the Bivalve bioindicator species M. galloprovincialis. Furthermore, considering the possibility of the biomagnification effect, the most prominent threat poses the ability of PROP-ESA to be accumulated in edible mussel tissues. Therefore, future research about the toxicity of pesticide metabolites alone or their mixtures is needed to gain comprehensive results about their impacts on living non-target organisms.
