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 Espa?ol de Oceanografia and the main scientific objective is to produce an index and a direct estimate of the biomass of the Northeast Atlantic mackerel stock and the southern and western horse mackerel stocks using the Annual Egg Production Method (AEPM). Specific aims:a) To estimate the spawning area distribution of mackerel and horse mackerel and the daily and total mackerel and horse mackerel egg production. b) To collect adults to obtain mackerel and horse mackerel gonads for atresia and fecundity estimation c) Distribution and abundance of other commercial species of interest: sardine, anchovy, hake, blue whiting.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

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 improvement of our knowledge of the shelf in the Costa da Morte, where a lack of measurements exists that became evident during the Prestige crisis. The shelf between Finisterre and Sisargas was where the highest hydrocarbon concentrations were detected.OBJECTIVES:To contribute to the characterization of the circulation in the shelf and adjacent slope in Costa da Morte: - To detect the possible presence of coastal trapped waves described in other similar shelves as the coast west of UnitedStates where they characterize part of the variability - To characterize the temporal and space variability of the currents and the termohaline structure in the shelf. - To characterize the hydrography of the shelf and adjacent slope between Finisterre and Cabo Vilan, an area of active dynamics characterized by an intense upwelling associated to the topography and to the regime of winds. In the area it is of expected the presence of upwelling fronts.
