In the central Mediterranean, preceding the collapse of the A. foliacea and A. antennatus stocks in the late 1970s, exploitation of these species had progressively been decreasing. Fishing of A. antennatus resumed following signs of stock recovery in 1985 (Orsi Relini and Relini, 1988, in Sardà et al., 2004); however, A. foliacea was still extremely scarce and commercially insignificant in the late 1990s (Fiorentino et al., 1998, in Sardà et al., 2004). Suggested causes of the collapse included overfishing together with environmental decay, hydrology, failure of recruitment and parasitic attack on already stressed stocks (Orsi Relini and Relini, 1985; Relini and Orsi Relini, 1987, both in Sardà et al., 2004).
