The crinoid Leptometra phalangium is recognised as an indicator of highly productive and depositional outer shelf areas depositional outer shelf to slope areas. It provides essential habitat for juveniles and spawners of several commercial species. To investigate some aspects of population dynamics of the species from 2008 to 2021 in the Strait of Sicily (Southern Sicily - GSA 16), we analysed time series of occurrence by depth and abundance indices from the MEDITS trawl survey.

Abstract
The crinoid Leptometra phalangium is recognised as an indicator of highly productive and depositional outer shelf areas depositional outer shelf to slope areas. It provides essential habitat for juveniles and spawners of several commercial species. To investigate some aspects of population dynamics of the species from 2008 to 2021 in the Strait of Sicily (Southern Sicily - GSA 16), we analysed time series of occurrence by depth and abundance indices from the MEDITS trawl survey.File in questo prodotto:
