of the activities of the GFCM Sub-Committee on Stock Assessment (SCSA) working groups and of the Sub-Regional FAO projects CopeMed I and MedSudMed. He also said 6 : 10 species of the general list of the SAC on priority species (Rome, 2006) are currently considered as shared between at least 2 countries belonging to the CopeMed II sub-region. They are presented in the Table 1 here below: Table 1 (based on Farrugio, 2010).

Strait of Gibraltar and Alboran Sea In general, many species in the Alboran Sea may be considered as shared resources on the basis of the fact that they occupy all or a large part of the Alboran basin. They are subject to common complex hydrographical features (as the exchange of water masses between the Atlantic and Mediterranean, that affect the northern and southern parts of the Alboran Sea) that influence the life cycle and distribution of many species that could constitute shared stocks. The WG (Málaga, 29-30 April 2010) decided that the issue of Pagellus bogaraveo should be dealt with by the Sub-regional Working Group on Demersal Fisheries Resources. Other considerations The above-mentioned meeting of experts in Málaga agreed to consider as potential shared stocks those included in Farrugio (2010), who considered three criteria for their inclusion: New proposals of shared stocks Apart from some rare exception, due to the highly multispecific characteristics of the Mediterranean fish populations, it cannot be said that a fishery in the region can be considered as targeting only one single species. So it is evident that the current list of specific shared stocks should be completed with some other species. To select the most important ones, three main sources of information can be used: (i) the species accompanying the target species; (ii) the landing statistics; and (iii) the opinions of the national scientific experts. Species accompanying the target species The GFCM-SCSA assessment forms include lists of accompanying species that can be considered as important in the landings of the main shared species that have been assessed so far in the CopeMed II sub-region. For the 2005-2009 period, the available information on this topic for the Alboran Sea and Strait of Gibraltar is the following: GSA01 Species accompanying hake: Helicolenus dactylopterus, Lepidorhombus spp., Lophius spp., Micromesistius poutassou, Mullus barbatus, Mullus surmuletus, Octopus vulgaris, Pagellus bogaraveo, Phycis blennoides, Parapenaeus longirostris, Scyliorhinus canicula, Trisopterus minutus capelanus. This means that P. bogaraveo is not only a target species in the Strait of Gibraltar, but also one of the species landed by the trawl fishery in the Alboran Sea. Finally, a preliminary revision of the above three sources of information allows the construction of Table 3 with respect to fishes. 18
