Environmental Influences on the Spatio-Temporal Distribution of European Hake (Merluccius merluccius) in Izmir Bay, Aegean Sea

2016    Yalcin, Esin; Gurbet, Rasit

In Izmir Bay, Aegean Sea, the influence of abiotic environmental factors besides depth and fishing pressure on the spatio-temporal distribution of European hake, Merluccius merluccius L. 1758, abundance were analysed using a Generalized Additive Model (GAM), with the Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) as the response -dependent variable and a Geographic Information System (GIS) software -based approach to display relationships. Data were collected on a monthly basis from 2007-2009 using a conventional bottom trawl net in Izmir Bay.
