Influence of oceanographic structure and dinamics on DEmersal populations in waters of the BAlearic Islands
Instalación y revisión de líneas de fondeo de instrumentaión oceanográfica.
Sampling at Ithioplacton stations, CTD stations and pelagic fishing, acoustic sampling with EK60 echo sounder. The general method is to quantify the freshly spawned eggs in the water column on the spawning grounds. Report egg species identification and staging. To be able to establish a relationship between eggs and biomass of the spawning stock, the fecundity of the females must also be determined.
Benthopelagic ecosystem structure in the western Mediterranean: a multidisciplinary approach and different time scales in the Balearic Islands.
The general objective of the RADMED-DOS project is the multidisciplinary monitoring of the platform and deep waters of the Mediterranean, the peninsular coast and the Balearic Islands.

Identification of benthic communities. During the cruise is intended to cover the following targets: - Identify the benthic habitats and their spatial distribution by direct sampling (epibentonic trawl) and indirect (ROV, sled). - Complete the floristic and faunistic inventory. - Characterize the sediment (grain size and organic matter). - Multibeam bathymetric survey. Further analysis of this information will give us to : - Perform a bionomic map of marine benthos, representing the bottom type and the biological community that inhabits it. - Estimate the benthic biodiversity. - Estimate the abundance of the most characteristic species. - Mapping the main habitats of interest. - Get a sedimentary map. - Complete the geomorphology of the study area.
Get more information regarding the characteristics and distribution of benthic habitats present inside the Columbretes Islands Marine Reserve with the objective of Develop a bionomic map that covers the total extent. The complementary objective is the realization of the benthic cartography. It is intended to achieve location and subsequent georeferencing of the upwelling of gases present in the environment of the volcanic archipelago that forms The study area of this campaign. Associated with this objective is intended to know the Bacterial community in the area of gaseous upwellings and a physicochemical characterization of these areas.
