Occurrence of the Rare Blonde Ray, Raja brachyura (Rajidae), Off the Algerian Coast (Southwestern Mediterranean Sea)Hemida, Farid (Avtor) Reynaud, Christian (Avtor) Capapé, Christian (Avtor) Raja brachyuraegg casemigrationdistributionwestern Mediterranean basinThe paper describes captures of large specimens of blonde ray, Raja brachyura Lafont 1873, off the Algerian coast. The presence of large egg-producing females in the catch and cases of already laid eggs suggest that a population of R. brachyura is successfully established in the area. The Algerian coast is likely a starting point for migrations of the species towards northern regions, such as the coast of Sardinia, where several specimens have recently been found.20242026-07-07 09:23:40Delo ni kategorizirano30840slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji.
