Obtain abundance indexes of lobster (Palinuros elephas) inside and outside the protected area of the Cala Ratjada Marine Reserve, carry out experimental plankton fisheries in order to obtain philosophical larvae of the different species of lobster present in the study area, and install and maintain lobster post-larval collectors in the coastal area (<25m) and deep (> 60m)
Estimation by pelagic trawling and acoustic methods of the biomass index and population and biological parameters of anchovy (Palinorus encrasicolus) and (Sardine pilchardus sardine as a secondary objective) to assess the state of the fisheries. In the pelagic trawling, the Daily Egg Production Method (MPDH) is applied as biomass estimation. Study of the influence of the hydrographic variables of the water column (temperature, salinity and chlorophyll).
Cartographic survey, obtaining seismic profiles and knowledge of the nature of the fund from high-resolution geophysical techniques (multi-beam and parametric probes) and the use of dredgers.
