15 Fig. 1. Results from HCA undertaken in a matrix of 1618 rows (monthly landings)×31 columns (species) comprising the period 2002–2004 for the 48 vessels selected from the fish trawling fleet. The number of cases in the xx axis was grouped by landing profiles (LP) defined in Table 1. The horizontal line at linkage distance 2 allowed the identification of 12 separate clusters corresponding to different LP. Four of the identified clusters correspond to LPs (3, 8, 10 and 12) associated with cephalopods.

22 Regarding the landings of cephalopods LP12 : cuttlefish (about 52%) LP3 : squid (about 46%) LP2 : squid (about 27%)

23 octopus landings were scattered throughout the different LPs LP2 : octopus ( 19.8% ) LP8 : octopus ( 18.5% )

24 Vessels related to LP4 also landed considerable amount of cephalopods octopus : 16.3% squid : 11.5% cuttlefish : 6.1%

Visual display of trawling operation associated with cephalopod landings (effort distribution) from 2002 to 2004 obtained by using GeoCrust 2.0 software. (a) LP10-Octopus and (b) LP12- cuttlefish, associated with fish trawlers targeting octopus and cuttlefish off the southern coast; (c) LP3-Squid and (d) LP8-Octopus,associated with trawlers targeting octopus and squid off the west coast. Each map presents VMS data individually filtered by trawler after excluding the navigation routes. Trawling intensity (10 classes) is represented as the number of points by square (in this case 0.3 nm×0.3 nm) where the minimum corresponds to white colour and the maximum to black colour (grey scale). Maximum number of points per square (0.3 nm×0.3 nm) differs from (a) to (d).

37 Discussion

38 south 1.seasonal alternation (cuttlefish 、 octopus) 2.exclusively target these species 3.abundance cycles and matches their life-cycles 4.The landings of octopus in the Algarve increased substantially during the second quarter of the year 5. Likewise the increase in the landings of cuttlefish is also probably related to its reproductive strategy Alternation species

39 1.reproductive strategy 2.available to the fishery after the spawning peak period 3. (Coelho and Martins, 1991) 1.These vessels are old and technologically less advanced 2. operating almost at all times in sheltered areas 3.limiting factor target species patterns of vessel operation south vessel

40 west Alternation species 1.inter-annual shifts (squid 、 octopus) 2. Seasonal shifts (cephalopods 、 fish) 3 caused by environmental change (e.g. Sobri˜no et al., 2002; Erzini,2005) 4. high levels of mortality in the life-cycle takes place at pre- recruitment life-stages (e.g. Boyle and Rodhouse, 2005; Mangold, 1983; Roberts, 2005; Worms, 1983) 5. octopus abundance is positively correlated to temperature (Lourenc¸o and Pereira, unpublished data)

41 west 1.fishing strategy 2. depending on the yearly recruitment of these species 1.These vessels are larger trawlers and technologically more advanced patterns of vessel operationvessel winter (horse mackerel) autumn (squid) spring/summer (octopus)

42 effect on landing skipper GT HP fishing grounds fishing techniques advanced tracking devices lower towing speeds

43 fishing season amount of fish price observe the alternation from the market
