Abstract = {{Management of the Mediterranean demersal stocks has proven challenging
   mainly due to the multi-species character of the fisheries. In the
   present work, we focus on the multi-species demersal fisheries of the
   Aegean Sea (eastern Mediterranean) aiming to study the effects of
   different management measures on the main commercial stocks, as well as
   to explore the economic viability of the fisheries depending upon these
   resources, by means of simulated projections. Utilizing the limited
   available data, our results demonstrated that, under the current
   exploitation pattern, the economic viability of the fleets is
   threatened, particularly if fuel prices increase. Additionally, the
   biological targets set for the most exploited species, such as hake,
   will not be met under the current management regime. The projections
   also showed that the only management scenario under which both resource
   sustainability and economic viability of the fisheries are ensured is
   the decrease of fleet capacity in terms of vessel numbers. In this case,
   however, measures to support the fisheries-dependent communities need to
   be implemented to prevent the collapse of local economies due to
   employment decrease. Scenarios assuming selectivity improvements would
   be also beneficial for the stocks but they showed low economic
   performance and their application would threaten the viability of the
   fleets, particularly that of the trawlers.}},
