From ecological to anthropogenic factors: unraveling the drivers of blue crab Callinectes sapidus occurrence along the Mediterranean coasts by Anna Gavioli, Giuseppe Castaldelli, David B. Eggleston, Robert R. Christian

“…Using spatial analysis and linear mixed models, we investigated geomorphology (i.e., water depth and coastal wetlands extension), water physical variables (i.e., salinity and winter and summer water temperature), water quality variables (i.e., chlorophyll-a, nitrate and orthophosphate) and anthropogenic factors (i.e., ship density and population size) potentially affecting the blue crab occurrence along the coast.ResultsOur results showed that nitrate, as an indicator of riverine nutrient loading, and water depth, as an indicator of slope of the bottom, were the most influential variables in explaining the occurrences of blue crabs. …”
