1. Most fish stocks worldwide are fished at maximum sustainable yield (MSY) or overfished, as many fisheries management strategies have failed to achieve sustainable fishing. Identifying effective fisheries management strategies has now become urgent. 2. Here, we developed a spatially-explicit metapopulation model accounting for population connectivity in the north-western Mediterranean Sea, and parameterized it for three ecologically and economically important coastal fish species: the white seabream Diplodus sargus, the two-banded seabream Diplodus vulgaris and the...

Seismic hazard values are expressed in terms of maximum horizontal component of the expected ground shaking (ag=fraction of gravity acceleration) with 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years, referred to rocky soils (Vs30>800 m/s, class A, paragraph 3.2.1 in Ministerial Decree September 14th 2005). The ag values have been estimated according two grid points not overlapping: a) with step 0.05 degrees, according the requirements of the Ordinance 3519 (Official Gazette n.108, May 11th 2006), with...

The dataset contains some parameters assessed for the computation of the MPS04 seismic hazard model of Italy. The file contains 3 sheets: i) Mmax values (and relevant seismicity rates when Mmax is higher than observations) and b values for each seismic source zone; ii) Completeness intervals estimated with an approach prevalently historical; iii) Completeness intervals estimated with an approach prevalently statistical.
