Show more [+] Less [-]In order to characterize the structure and functioning of the Israeli marine continental shelf (ICS) ecosystem and assess main changes with time, we developed two food web Ecopath models representing the earlier 1990 ’s and the 2008-2012. Results highlighted the increasing impact of invasive species on the ecosystem between 1990’s and 2012. Fishing activities had noticeable impacts during both analyzed time periods. The ICS ecosystem shared common features in structure and functioning traits with other Mediterranean marine ecosystems
