Description:
The bathymetric distribution and abundance of cephalopods from the Catalan Sea (NE Spain) are analyzed. The material was taken from
105 trawls carried out from June 1981 to June 1982 between Cape Creus and the Ebro delta. The depth of catch ranged between 4 m and 832 m. A total of 21 species belonging to 7 families have been identified, but some individuals could only be interpreled as Sepiolinae members. With the application of a
correspondence analysis, the species were ordered according to depth. It also estimate the abundance and mean weight of the most frequent species (Sepia elegans, S. orbignyana, Alloteuthis media, Loligo vulgaris, Illex coindetii, Octopus vulgaris and Eledone cirrhosa).
