shows percent contribution of juveniles and adults of
the species that contribute to characterizing the clusters (80% of the
average similarity). Mullus barbatus was the species that mainly
characterized the CTM biocoenosis with more than 98% of juveniles
and a negligible fraction of adults. Parapenaeus longirostris,
although having >70% juveniles, showed an important amount of
adult individuals. All the species contributing to structure the
assemblage showed >60% juveniles. Only the cephalopods Eledone
moschata had a ratio of juveniles/adults close to the 50% (Fig. 4a).
The CD biocensosis also had a high percentage of juveniles but
the specific composition was very different from that recorded in
CTM biocoenosis. Zeus faber and Sepia officinalis had a low number
of specimens but were the species with the higher percentage of
juveniles (more than 80%) (Fig. 4b). Pagellus erythrinus, Eledone
moschata and Loligo vulgaris were the only species with
