CHANGES IN CATCH AND BYCATCH COMPOSITION AND IN SPECIES DIVERSITY OF A SEMI-FLOATING SHRIMP-TRAP FISHERY IN THREE EASTERN ATLANTIC ISLAND ECOSYSTEMS WITH DIFFERENT DEGREES OF HUMAN ALTERATION

Changes in catch and bycatch composition and in species diversity of a semi-floating shrimp-trap fishery in three eastern Atlantic island ecosystems with different degrees of human alteration

Composition and bycatch of semi-floating shrimp-trap fisheries (SSTF) were compared among areas with different levels of anthropogenic alteration of marine ecosystems.The three areas selected were Madeira, the Canary Islands and Cape Verde.Mean species richness and diversity of the SSTF did not show significant differences among areas.The dominant
