Annual estimation of the abundance of anchovy juveniles (Engraulis encrasicolus) in the Bay of Biscay by acoustic methodology, and study of the spatial distribution and the state of growth during that specific time of the year. With the results obtained, this campaign aims to estimate an annual abundance index of juveniles that allows to infer each year the magnitude of the annual recruitment of anchovy that will enter the population the following year
