The overall objective of the cruise was to perform a systematic geophysical survey. The principal aim is to obtain complete bathymetric sea-floor coverage. There are other geophysical data obtained during the cruise, whose acquisition is compatible with the navigation requirements of the multibeam survey, such as gravity, geomagnetic and ultra-high resolution seismic data (TOPAS system).This project is the result of a cooperation between the Instituto Hidrografico de la Marina (IHM, Hydrographic Institution of the Spanish Navy) and the Real Observatorio de la Armada (ROA, Royal Observatory of the Spanish Navy), under the control of the Secretaría General Técnica del Ministerio de Defensa (SEGENTE, General Technical Secretary of the Spanish Defense Department), whith the collaboration of several other institutions and universities.The cruise started on August 29th at Cartagena and finished at La Coruña on September 13th. It was planned in order to cover two bathymetric charts (G17 and G18) to the NW of Galicia, but the bad weather led to complete only bathymetric chart G17 and partially G18.

It was planned in order to cover two bathymetric charts (G7 and G8) to the NW of the Galicia Bank, but the good course of the works allowed to go beyond this first objective and finalize also chart G9, which was only partially covered during ZEE-2003 cruise.
SUMMARY:The project PLATERIAS financed by Xunta de Galicia in its sectoral program of Tecnoloxias Ambientais has as objective the study of the physical oceanography of the continental shelf and rias of Galicia by means of the development and integration of the existent observation network and the demonstration of the feasibility of the modelizacion of the dynamics of the rias of Galicia and the adjacent shelf by means of a hydrodynamic model coupled to a meteorological mesoscale regional and local high resolution model. This campaign is intended to contribute to the knowledge of the interaction between the rias and the shelf. OBJECTIVES:-To study the interaction between the rias and the shelf, particularly in the Ria de Ares.- Recovery a mooring in the channel in order to characterize the incoming and outgoing flow of the ria.- Performance of transects of CTD profiles across the main channel in the mouth of the ria to characterize the ria-shelf exchanges.
CR PELACUS 03 Give an improved estiamtion of the abundance of pelagic fish present in the NE Atlantic waters in spring which is the spawning period for these fish species, but focussing in sardine and anchovy. Complementary to this main objective the survey design and strategies will allow the enviroment be characterised by recording differente variables (i. e. t/S, fluorescence, plankton, winds or air temperature) in vertical and horizontal profiles along the surveyed area with no noticeable extra-effort. As it was pointed out, these variables will help the acoustic estimations be improved whilst an extensive environment characterisation at the spawning time will be done. - ref 0403
