Distribuzione spaziale e densità di Nassarius mutabilis (L.) e Nassarius reticulatus (L.) nel Compartimento Marittimo di Ancona

Nassarius mutabilis (Gastropoda, Prosobranchia) is the target species of the basket trap fishery in the Adriatic Sea and Nassarius reticulatus is the main discarded species. In 2004 a Charcot dredge survey was carried out in the Department of Ancona to assess the spatial distribution and density of the two species to obtain new valuable information for the exploitation of N. mutabilis.
