	abstract = {<p>Juvenile settlement of 3 sparid fish species, Diplodus puntazzo,  Djplodus sargus and Diploclus vulgaris, was studied over 3 years at 20  stations located at 5 sites in the NW Mediterranean Sea: 1 site in Spain  (Girona), 2 In France (Banyuls and Marseille) and 2 in Italy (Portofino  and Elba). When all sites and years were combined, 71\% of the settlers  recorded belonged to D, vulgaris, 25 \% to D. sargus and 4 \% to D.  puntazzo. Settlement was seasonal, with D. sargus settling in May-June.  D. puntazzo in October November, and D. vulgaris in 2 pulses, the first  in November-December and the second in January-February. Settlement  intensity varied spatially, temporally, and among species. At a small  spatial scale (within site), settlement intensity varied between  stations and particularly between years. At a large spatial scale (among  sites), settlement intensity varied among sites, with Marseille and  Girona generally experiencing higher settlement than other sites. No  difference in settlement intensity was observed between protected and  unprotected areas The settlement of D.sargus was higher in 1994 than in  1993 and 1995 at all sites, suggesting the influence of meso-scale  hydroclimatic conditions on the settlement success of this species. The  settlement of D. vulgaris was higher in 1993 in the western part of the  NW Mediterranean, and in 1994 in the eastern part. No consistent spatial  trend over time was seen for D. puntazzo. Thus, settlement intensity of  Diplodus species to nearshore habitats in the NW Mediterranean  exhibited high year-to-year variations at both local and regional  scales.</p>},
