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.
Cartographic survey, obtaining seismic profiles and knowledge of the nature of the bottom of the continental shelf
Biological and geological study of the marine reserve of the Canal de Menorca.
Monitoring of eutrophication. Water and phytoplankton samples were taken to study the phytochemical and biological characteristics of the water column.
Assessment of the status of benthic communities and populations of cephalopods and fish in the rocky infralitoral.
Study and mapping of the Spanish Continental Shelf
Study and mapping of the North Continental Platform of Morocco
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 of the abundance index, demographic structure, geographic distribution and genetic study of the lobster population. In addition, genetic studies will be conducted for serranos and sargos
Monitoring of eutrophication. The project is carried out in combination with the B / O Odón de Buen develops other TROFOALBORAN campaigns in the Alboran Sea area focused on trophic studies.
