Dark marine habitats are often characterized by a food-limited condition. Peculiar dark habitats include marine caves, characterized by the absence of light and limited water flow, which lead to reduced fluxes of organic matter for cave-dwelling organisms. We investigated whether the most abundant and common cave-dwelling fish Apogon imberbis has t...
Fish assemblages associated with 16 marine caves were investigated along the coasts of Spain, France and Italy. Sampling was done in caves that encompassed blind caves (one entrance) and caves with several openings, remarkably variable in morphology, overall extension, presence/absence of ceiling, and characteristics of the bottom. On the whole, 33...
Along the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, marine caves are widespread and often unexplored. They host well diversified, unique and sensitive biological communities, due to the special ecological conditions inside (e.g. patterns of light extinction, water motion and distribution of trophic resources), and to the fact that many organisms living insi...
