Sympatric Clupeoid Fish Larvae in the Northeastern Mediterranean: Coexistence or Avoidance?

Figure 2

Horizontal distribution map of the number of larvae (/10 m²) for anchovy, Engraulis encrasicolus (gray) and round sardinella, Sardinella aurita (black), and their percentage contribution to the total clupeoid larvae in each station for 2002 (a) and 2003 (b) in Kavala Gulf (northern Aegean Sea, Greece). (Bubbles are proportional to abundance with smallest bubble representing 1–100 larvae 10 m⁻² and largest representing 10 × 10³–15 × 10³ larvae 10 m⁻²; × indicates negative stations).
