Oceanographic survey collected in the framework of the following research project: INTERCAMBIOS EN EL ESTRECHO DE GIBRALTAR Y SU RESPUESTA A FORZAMIENTOS METEOROLOGICOS Y CLIMATICOS, INGRES 2. This Project is funded by the Education and Science Spanish Ministery.The technical objetive of the mission is to recover and to deploy a mooring system in a monitoring station (Espartel) in the Strait of Gibraltar to estimate the Mediterranean Outflow accurately (ADCP based observations) and the Atlantic Inflow into the Mediterranean Sea, with the help of indirect estimators and incomplete currentmeter data sets.

Space an temporal monitoring of oceanographic variables at Western Mediterranean. Planckon comunities, CDOM and Cl-a are also studied.
The general objective of the RADMED-DOS project is the multidisciplinary monitoring of the platform and deep waters of the Mediterranean, the peninsular coast and the Balearic Islands.
? Estimation of the abundance of small pelagic fishes, with special focus on anchovy juveniles, in the southern part of the Bay of Biscay.\n? Cartography of the distribution of these populations.\n? Study of the distribution of anchovy and sardine eggs.\n? Biological sampling of the species of interest (e.g. ). Particularly for anchovy, analysis of stomach contents for the characterisation of the food regime and of otholits for the study of daily growth rates.\n? Continuous sampling of auxiliary variables for the characterisation of the ambient environment.\n? Study of the hydrographic conditions and distribution of plankton components in order to define the physical and biological processes which are relevant for the regulation of the species of interest.
Study and evaluation of the anchovy biomass in the Bay of Biscay within the National Sampling Plan
Estudio y cartografiado de la plataformacontinental española
Obtain biomass indices and zigala size distribution within and around the closed area, as well as other species of commercial interest
Cartographic survey of the proposed work areas, together with seismic studies and sampling of the seabed.
