The mineral water of Vilajuïga village in Alt Empordà (NE Catalonia, Spain) owes its uniqueness to an emanation of geogenic CO 2 that modifies groundwater hydrochemistry to produce a differentiated HCO 3 –Na- and CO 2 -rich groundwater among the usual Ca–HCO 3 type found in this region. A hydrogeological conceptual model attributes its occurrence to the intersection of two faults: La Valleta and Garriguella-Roses. The former p...

In brown trout ( Salmo trutta ), stocking with hatchery‐reared non‐native fish has been the main management strategy used to maintain or improve depleted wild brown trout populations in Iberian and other Mediterranean regions. This measure has become a serious thre...
