Preliminary observations of environmental effects on spatial distribution and abundance of Eledone cirrhosa and Illex coindetii in the Strait of Sicily (Central Mediterranean Sea).

Preliminary observations of environmental effects on the spatial distribution and abundance of two commercially exploited species, Eledone cirrhosa and Illex coindetii, in the Strait of Sicily are reported. For the first time the parameter "temperature" was taken into consideration and qualitatively analysed.
