Cartographic survey, obtaining seismic profiles and knowledge of the nature of the bottom of the continental shelf
Cartographic survey, obtaining seismic profiles and knowledge of the nature of the background from multi-beam and parametric high resolution geophysical techniques and the use of dredgers.
Campaign to obtain samples of mud mullets (Mullus barbatus) and sediment. The objective is to evaluate the temporal trends of priority chemical pollutants and the study of the biological effects of pollution.
Acoustic campaign for the estimation of biomass and spatial distribution of the main small pelagic species of the Catalan platform.
Marine geology campaigns.
Study and mapping of the Spanish continental shelf.
Cartographic survey, obtaining seismic profiles and knowledge of the nature of the background from high-resolution geosysics techniques and dredgers
Study and mapping of the Spanish continental shelf
Evaluate the conservation status of the lobster population (Palinurus elephas) and determine the Reserve Effect. To do this, the demographic structure, abundance and bathymetric distribution of juveniles and recruits are estimated, videos and visual censuses are made to estimate the effect of the reserve expansion, and specimens of cephalothorax (<15mm) are obtained for genetic studies. of populations and isotopic composition
Estimation by pelagic trawling and acoustic methods of the biomass index and population and biological parameters of anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) and (Sardine pilchardus sardine as a secondary objective) to assess the state of the fisheries. In the pelagic trawling, the Huwvos Daily Production Method (MPDH) is applied as biomass estimation. Study of the influence of the hydrographic variables of the water column (temperature, salinity and chlorophyll)
