  abstract = {{S}patial indicators are used to quantify the state of species and ecosystem status, that is the impacts of climate and anthropogenic changes, as well as to comprehend species ecology. {T}hese metrics are thus, determinant to the stakeholder's decisions on the conservation measures to be implemented. {A} detailed review of the literature (55 papers) showed that 18 spatial indicators were commonly used in marine ecology. {T}hose indicators were than characterized and studied in detail, based on its application to empirical data (a time series of 35 marine species spatial distributions, sampled either with a random stratified survey or a regular transects surveys). {T}he results suggest that the indicators can be grouped into three classes, that summarize the way the individuals occupy space: occupancy (the area occupied by a species), aggregation (spreading or concentration of species biomass) and quantity dependent (indicators correlated with biomass), whether these are spatially explicit (include the geographic coordinates, e.g. center of gravity) or not. {I}ndicator's temporal variability was lower than between species variability and no clear effect was observed in relation to sampling design. {S}pecies were then classified accordingly to their indicators. {O}ne indicator was selected from each of the three categories of indicators, to represent the main axes of species spatial behavior and to interpret them in terms of occupancy-aggregationquantity relationships. {A}ll species considered were then classified according to their relationships among those three axes, into species that under increasing abundancy, primarily increase occupancy or aggregation or both. {W}e suggest to use these relationships along the three-axes as surveillance diagrams to follow the yearly evolution of species distributional patterns in the future.},
