The objective of the project RADIALES, started in 1990, aims at “understanding and modelling the response of the marine ecosystem to the sources of temporal variability in oceanographic and planktonic components, focusing on those factors and processes affecting biological production and potentially altering the ecosystem services”. This project is the oldest multidisciplinary ocean observation initiative still active in Spain.
Historical series of oceanographic data in the Vigo Estuary and adjacent platform.
Study of strategies to reduce discards and unwanted species: selectivity and survival in trawling in Cantabrian-Northwest zone.
Acoustic estimates by echointegration of the strength of the anchovy and sardine recruitment off Portugal and south Galicia Oceanographic (physical -CTD- and biological _bongo nets)characterization of the surveyed area Charting the subsurface microplastic distribution along the surveyed area
Estimation of the recruitment of the main small pelagic species in the Gulf of Cadiz by eco-integration.
Getting the spatial distribution and abundance indices of benthic and demersal fauna of the continental shelf of Galicia and Cantabrian Sea. Hydrographic survey of the neritic zone led to its influence on the distribution of species. Sampling using a box corer to obtain granulometrics indices of sediment.
Study of the circalitoral benthic habitats in sedimentary bottoms of the Canary Islands Demarcation. Identification and mapping of habitats. Characterization of benthic communities. Fine-tuning of the study techniques of the benthic habitats of the circalitoral and bathyal sedimentary bottoms. Identification, mapping and characterization of benthic communities.
Multibeam bathymetric survey, high resolution seismic survey and characterization of bottoms and habitats of the submarine canyon system and fields of pockmarks of the Cap Breton canyon. Development of underwater photogrammetry system for Marine Renewable Energy
