Oceanographic survey collected in the framework of the PESCADIZ, STOCA and INGRES3 projects. PESCADIZ is funded by the Instituto Español de Oceanograf¿a / DCRP and the main scientific objective is to produce an index and a direct estimate of the biomass of demersal target species in the Gulf of Cádiz together with the hydrographic caracterization at the time of the cruise. STOCA is a program conducting systematic hydrographic and plankton observations along three standard sections in the eastern Gulf of Cadiz. INGRES3 is a Spanish Ministry for Science and Innovation funded project that maintains a mooring line at the Spartel sill in the Strait of Gibraltar
Get abundance indices of groundfish demersales species. Get the size structure of commercially exploited stocks. Collection of biological material. Prospecting deep zones. Get physical-chemical parameters of water in the study area.
Multidisciplinary campaing for mooring instruments and adquiring samples and variables to: * Know the thermohaline, kinematic, dynamic and biological characteristics of the Gulf of Cadiz. * Study of carbon fluxes between the Atlantic and Mediterranean. * Linking climatology, hydrology and hydrodynamics and the early stages of development of the species associated with the platform, with a focus on species of fishing interest. * Provide data to feed global and regional numerical models. * Generate and distribute a database to know the evolution of marine climate and its resources.

Multidisciplinary cruise: sampling physical and chemical variables that will: - Study thermohaline characteristics, kinematics, dynamics and biology of the eastern half of the Gulf of Cadiz. - Establish relationships between climate, hydrology and hydrodynamics and the early stages of development of the species associated with the platform, with emphasis on species of commercial interest in a space/time. - Provide data to feed global and regional numerical models. - Generate and distribute a database for the evolution of the marine climate and its resources.
