Article Synopsis
- Researchers discovered fifteen large breeding colonies of picarels (Spicara smaris), a small fish species, along the East coast of Corsica during video transects in spring 2021.
- These colonies occupy over 134.6 hectares, with nests averaging 55 cm in diameter, and house more than 18 million nests, each tended by a male fish.
- The presence of these nests supports diverse marine life and highlights the picarel's role as an ecosystem engineer, emphasizing the need for more studies and protection of the area during the breeding season.
