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)
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
