Abstract
⺠We use a Bayesian formulation of individual covariate models to estimate population size of P. nobilis. ⺠Population density of the pen shell is highly variable around Mallorca. ⺠Differences in population density cannot be attributed to structural parameters of the habitat (seagrass meadows) nor storm occurrence. ⺠Density at sites were boat anchoring was prohibited was much higher than in sites without this restriction. ⺠Permanent mooring buoys would be an effective conservation measure to reduce damage by anchoring.
