Description parameter	There was no by catch mortality incidents.			The species' distribution was calculated from the records of sea caves, using the 1x1km grid. Range was calculated using scientific literature and expert opinion. Range has been set considering the distribution of the species in the area under the effective control of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus as well as in the occupied area and British Sovereign Base Areas. The adoption of new method for Range calculation, results in differences in shape and appearance of range maps as well as differences in area calculation.
