Description parameter |
The RT-mTE indicator shows sings of stability over time |
The trend of the indicator shows a non-significant decrease in the last two decades. This result is indicating a deterioration, although non conclusive, of the average trophic level in shelf communities. |
The RT-PL indicator shows sings of stability over time. Nr=number of trophic interactions |
The RT-IUCN species C indicator shows a significant decreasing trend, indicating negative effects of fishing pressure on endangered species (biomass decline stronger than catch). |
RT-Kempton's Q indicator shows a significant decline over the period analyzed, suggesting a decline in diversity and species richness |
The RT-mTLc indicator shows a decreasing non-significant trend indicating over time |
The RT-MTLco shows a decreasing non-significant trend over the temporal frame analyzed |
The RT-SOI indicator shows a significant increasing trend indicating over time, suggesting a gradual restoration of complexity within the food web (through an increase in the number of trophic interactions among trophic levels) |
RT-MTL shows a significant increasing trend indicating that mesopredators in shelf communities experienced an improvement in average trophic level over the last two decades. |
The indicator shows a significant decreasing trend indicating that top predators in slope communities experienced a decline in average trophic level over the last two decades. |

RT-MTL shows a significant increasing trend indicating that mesopredators in shelf communities experienced an improvement in average trophic level over the last two decades. |
The indicator shows a significant decreasing trend indicating that top predators in continental shelf communities experienced a decline in average trophic level over the last two decades. |
The RT-IUCN species B indicator shows a significant decreasing trend, indicating negative effects of fishing pressure on endangered species |
The trend of RT-Commercial B indicator shows a significant decline over time, indicating a loss of commercial species biomass due to fishing overexplotation |
The RT-PL indicator shows sings of stability over time. Nr=number of trophic interactions |
RT-Kempton's Q indicator shows a significant decline over the period analyzed, suggesting a decline in diversity and species richness |
The RT-mTLc indicator shows a decreasing non-significant trend indicating over time |

Description parameter |
The trend of the indicator shows a significant decreasing trend in the last two decades. This result is indicating a deterioration of the average trophic level of coastal communities. |
RT-MTL shows a significant decreasing trend indicating that sub-apex predators in coastal communities experienced a decline in average trophic level over the last two decades. |
The indicator shows a non-significant increasing trend and the stability of the average trophic level. This lack of significance is interpreted as a sign of the resilience of bentho-demersal communities throughout the historical series. |
The indicator shows a significant increasing trend for the whole bentho-demersal community. This positive trend, together with the improvement of higher trophic levels, indicates a general improvement of communities in deep waters. |
The significant increasing trend observed in sub-apex predators is interpreted as an improvement in average trophic level in slope communities. |
RT-MTL shows a significant increasing trend indicating that top predators in deep waters experienced an improvement in average trophic level over the last two decades. |
The indicator shows a significant increasing trend for the whole bentho-demersal community. This positive trend, together with the improvement of higher trophic levels, indicates a general improvement of communities in shelf ecosystems. |
The significant increasing trend observed in sub-apex predators is interpreted as an improvement in average trophic level in continental shelf communities. |
RT-MTL shows a significant increasing trend indicating that top predators in shelf communities experienced an improvement in average trophic level over the last two decades. |
