The campaign targets under INFUECO 1113, to carry on board the research vessel Angeles Alvariño, are the identification and mapping of habitats and characterization of biogenic benthic and demersal species. Specific objectives focus on the investigation of benthic Banks areas of 'Amanay' and 'El Banquete' by direct and visual methods. Specifically: · Extensive visual videogrammetry HD with sled towed "NEXUS". · Recognition with multibeam bathymetric probe.

The ECOTRANS oceanographic-fishing cruises will cover the following objectives: i) Sampling plankton (micro and mesozooplankton); ii) Sampling larvae of selected pelagic fish and iii) Trawl sampling (demersal) and bird census to determine the species and functional groups biomass and the trophic ecology of small pelagic fish, hake, monkfish and sharks at the NW Mediterranean ecosystem. The cruise (15 days of duration) will be conducted during the spawning period of the sardine (winter) in order to get their larvae.
