Study of strategies to reduce discards and unwanted species: selectivity and survival in trawling in Cantabrian-Northwest zone.
Prospecting Scomber scombrus and Trachurus trachurus eggs and adult catches to estimate egg production and fecundity of Scomber scombrus for joint international evaluation of spawning stock biomass of mackerel by the method annual egg production (MPAH) and production eggs Trachurus.

Oceanographic survey collected in the framework of the following research project: ¿Métodos de Producción de Huevos. Estimación de la biomasa de especies pelágicas de interés comercial: sardina, anchoa, caballa y jurel (ICTIOEVA)¿. This Project is funded by the Instituto Español de Oceanografía and the main scientific objective the survey is to produce an index and a direct estimate of the spawning stock biomass of Sardine (Sardine pilchardus) in the Cantabrian Sea and Bay of Biscay (to 45ºN) using the Daily Egg Production Method (DEPM). Specific aims:a) To estimate the spawning area distribution of sardine and the daily egg production. b) To collect adults to obtain fecundity estimation c) Distribution and abundance of other commercial species of interest: mackerel, horse mackerel and anchovy.d) To describe the oceanographic and meteorological character of the area of study with the aim of relating environmental conditions (temperature, salinity, currents) with the spatial distribution of the ichthyoplankton
New calibration tests between B/O Cornide de Saavedra and the B/O Miguel Oliver, by the results of the 2013 campaign Demersal, showing behavior too benthic.
The objective of this campaign is the sampling of sediments. These sediments will be used to assess the organic and inorganic pollutants in the marine area, as well as the possible biological effects of contaminants. In this survey, along with the traditional pollutants, the presence of microplastics in sediments will also be evaluated.
The main aim of the Triennial surveys is to estimate the spawning stock biomass of mackerel and horse mackerel applying the Annual and Daily Egg Production Method (AEPM and DEPM). The method relates the number of freshly spawned eggs found in the water column to the number of female having produced these eggs. Knowing the fecundity of the females and the sex ratio provides an estimate for the spawning-stock Biomass. In the frame of the ICES WGMEGS,AZTI is in charge of sampling the area of the Bay of Biscay. Sampling consist in collecting plankton samples to identify and stage the mackerel and horse mackerel eggs. Environmental parameters: At each station profile of sea temperature and salinity are recorded.
Set up techniques of circalittoral benthic habitat study of sedimentary seabeds, including identification and cartography of habitat and characterization of benthic communities, aiming to develop MSFD indicators.
