OBJETIVOS CIENTIFICOS DE LA CAMPAÑA objetivo principal de la Campaña RadProf0208 es la caracterizacion termohalina y biogeoquimica en las aguas oceanicas de la region Galicia-Cantabrico en tres transectos estandar perpendiculares a la costa en Finisterre, Ortegal y Cabo Mayor (Santander) cubriendo toda la columna de agua hasta unos 5000m de profundidad. Dichos transectos forma parte de la serie temporal de campa?as iniciada en 2003 por la cual se realizan muestreos hidrograficos semestralmente.
Abundance indices, distribution patterns and faunal assemblages of demersal species in the northern coast of Spain (Atlantic Galician shelf and Cantabrian sea shelf), together with the possible driving factors of their distribution. This survey belongs to the research project: 'Evaluacion de Recursos Demersales por Métodos Directos en el área ICES'. This Project is partly funded by the DCR of the EU and the Education and Science Spanish Ministery.The main objectives of the above mentioned project related with this survey time series are: a) to obtain abundance indices of the main exploited species in the study area; b) to estimate the strength of yearly recruitments of these species and their distribution in the area. c) to study the structure and distribution o the demersal and benthic communities in the area.
Oceanographic survey collected in the framework of the following research project: 'Metodos de Produccion de Huevos. Estimacion de la biomasa de especies pelagicas de interes comercial: sardina, anchoa, caballa y jurel (ICTIOEVA)'. This Project is funded by the Instituto Español de Oceanografia and the main scientific objective is to produce an index and a direct estimate of the spawning stock biomass of Sardine (Sardine pilchardus) in the Cantabrian Sea and Bay of Biscay (to 45°N) using the Daily Egg Production Method (DEPM). Specific aims:a) To estimate the spawning area distribution of sardine and the daily egg production. b) To collect adults to obtain fecundity estimation c) Distribution and abundance of other commercial species of interest: mackerel, horse mackerel and anchovy.d) To describe the oceanographic and meteorological character of the area of study with the aim of relating environmental conditions (temperature, salinity, currents) with the spatial distribution of the ichthyoplankton
53 CTD stations was performed from 10 to 5200 m depth along three transects on N- NW Iberian peninsula. Also 2 moorings (6 RCM) was re-deployed.
