We presented the results of 4 years of projects on small pelagic fish at the first SIMERPE – Iberian Symposium on Modeling and Assessment of Fishery Resources (“Simposio Ibérico de Modelado y Evaluación de Recursos Pesqueros”) We are very grateful for this opportunity, full of interesting discussions about achievements and challenges to evaluate marine resources […]
Our projects about small pelagic fish have produced very interesting results during the last 4 years. We have summarized them in three infographics (made by Amparo Hidalgo): You can download them from here We presented them last week at the University of Girona during a very informative workshop organized by Jordi Viñas and Marta Muñoz […]
The project is entitled “Fostering the capacity of marine ecosystem models to project the cumulative effects of global change and plausible future oceans” (PI: Marta Coll ICM-CSIC, Barcelona, Jose Mª Bellido IEO-Murcia & Xavier Barber UMH, Elche). The PhD fellow will receive a 4-year contract with a gross annual salary of 16,250€ for each of […]

Today our PELWEB project formally arrives to an end. The amazing team of PELWEB was worked a lot during three years and a half to advance on our understanding of the Mediterranean pelagic ecosystem and, particularly, on anchovy and sardine dynamics. We just published an outreach text about important outcomes in The Conversation, check it […]
Within the Framework of the ‘Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence’ accreditation, six fellowships for two-year post-doctoral contracts are available at the Institute of Marine Science (ICM), the largest centre for multidisciplinary marine science in Spain, with a leading role in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean region. This call will be open from May 7th to June […]
Today WWF launched a report that shows how protecting 30% of the Mediterranean Sea can boost fish stocks and biodiversity. By protecting key areas of our seas and coasts, we can trigger a domino effect of positive results. In collaboration with EII and CNRS-CRIOBE we contributed to the study with a modelling exercise testing alternative […]
During the kickoff meeting of the new PROCLIAS “Process-based models for climate impact attribution across sectors” Cost Action exciting ideas and activities for the next 4 years are presented and discussed. Keynotes and general sessions are available online.
A new Ecosystem Modelling Course, organized by the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada), just started online! The course is open for UBC graduate students with interest in quantitative modelling, as well as for some upper-level UBC undergraduate students. Because of the Covid-19 situation, UBC does not allow on-campus classes for the coming semester, therefore […]
A new study coordinated by the ICM and the IEO reveals the areas of the Spanish and French coast where there is a greater overlap of the different pressures. Sardines (Sardina pilchardus) and anchovies (Engraulis encrasicolus) are the most traded and consumed fish in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea, representing almost 40% of the region’s catches. […]
