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 (Palinorus encrasicolus) and (Sardine pilchardus sardine as a secondary objective) to assess the state of the fisheries. In the pelagic trawling, the Daily Egg Production Method (MPDH) is applied as biomass estimation. Study of the influence of the hydrographic variables of the water column (temperature, salinity and chlorophyll).
Assessment of the status of benthic communities and populations of cephalopods and fish in the rocky infralitoral.
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)
Marine geology campaigns.
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.
Obtain the stratified abundance index based on the number and weight of the species of commercial interest in the platform and slope principle of the indicated area. A sample of planktonic fisheries was also carried out to know the ichthioplakton and the areas of laying in the region.
