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.
Marine geology campaigns.
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.
Study of the anchovy biomass in the Bay of Biscay
Acoustic fishing campaign for the evaluation of anchovy biomass, biological condition, hydrographic conditions and spatial distribution in the Bay of Biscay
Annual estimate of abundance of anchovy juveniles in the Bay of Biscay during the months of September and October
Pelagic trawl estimation and acoustic methods of the biomass index and population and biological parameters of anchovy (Engraulis encrasilocus) and sardine (Sardina pilchardus) as a secondary objective to assess the state of fisheries. In pelagic trawling, the Daily Egg Production Method (MPDH) is applied as an estimate of biomass. Study of the influence of the variables of the water column (temperature, salinity and chlorophyll).
Analysis of the selectivity of commercial trawling "baka".
