Cartographic survey, obtaining seismic profiles and knowledge of the nature of the bottom of the continental shelf
Study and mapping of the Spanish Continental Shelf
Environment Congress in Barcelona
Assessment of the status of benthic communities and populations of cephalopods and fish in the rocky infralitoral.
Estimation of horse mackerel and mackerel biomass in the Bay of Biscay applying the method of annual egg production. Itsaslagunak ship for plankton sampling and Emma Bardán for adult sampling
Acoustic fishing campaign for the evaluation of anchovy biomass, biological condition, hydrographic conditions and spatial distribution in the Bay of Biscay
Study of the characteristics and configuration of the existing seabed in the marine reserves of the La Graciosa and La Palma islands, as well as of Sites of Community Importance (SCI) located in its surroundings.
Cartographic survey of the proposed work areas, together with seismic studies and sampling of the seabed.
Estimation by pelagic trawling and acoustic methods of the biomass index and population and biological parameters of anchovy (Engraulis enrasicolos) (and Sarina pilchardos sardine, as a secondary objective), to evaluate the state of the fisheries. In the pelagic trawling, the Daily Egg Production Method (MPDH) is applied as an estimate of the biomass. Study of the influence of the hydrographic variables of the water column (temperature, salinity and chlorophyll)
