1) All Cetacean species are part of the Berna and Bona Convention and listed in ACCOBAMS agreement and CITES (ANEXX 2A). Due to this fact, were all considered at least as medium level or higher.
2) Species added due to reference on the report from Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MAMAOT, 2012). There were 5 species considered with low environmental state, namely: Sardina pilchardus, Lophius piscatorius, Merluccius merluccius, Lepidorhombus boscii, Isurus oxyrinchus.
3) Management plan of Sardina pilchardus (2012-2015) (DGRM,2018)4) Despite unknown status its identified in as a biodiversity refuge and important for genetic resource supply
(ICNF, 2013).5) We used data from a predicted reviewed distribution map with modelled native range map. This
information provides probabilities of occurrences. From this information, we extracted the locations with probability of occurrence higher than 85% and used it as distribution map of the species (Aquamaps, 2017).
6) Information on NPP was obtained from EU Copernicus Marine Service, 2016. Data from literature allowed to select levels of primary production on spring and summer months as the most intense for the ecosystem production on Portuguese waters (FCG, 2014; ICES, 2008). From this assumption, Net Primary Production was obtained from 2010 to 2014 Spring months. From this data we calculated the average value for each location and selected the top 30% values to be used in the model.
