RECS-4_BIS Cruise (29GD20030923) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2003, Characterize the temporal and spatial variability of water and particle flows in the area of the Blanes canyon. Determine the seasonal and suvestational variability of the population structure of the shrimp Aristeus antennatus. Interaction of the submarine canyon environment with the physiological state of the associated shrimp resource. Spatio-temporal determination of the population structure of shrimp linked to the submarine canyon. Detection of recruitment areas and application of new technologies for their preservation

VEDA-6 Cruise (29GD20030926) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2003, The purpose of the VEDA campaigns is to analyze the response of the organisms and sediments to a veto period of the trawling fishery.Collection of samples of infauna and sediments from the study area and recording of the process followed by the material resuspended by the trawl. Recording of oceanographic and environmental data. The campaigns must be carried out according to the activity of the trawling fleet. The campaigns will be carried out in the province of Tarragona , in the area of influence of the ports of the Atmella and San Carles de la Ràpita

BIOMEGA Cruise (29GD20031009) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2003, The campaign aims to carry out a sampling in the transition zone located between the western and eastern Alborán Sea. This zone is characterized by the presence of highly active mesoscale structures (10 to 100 km in size) such as fronts and eddys formed as a result of the interaction between incoming Atlantic waters through the Strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean waters resident in the alborán basin. Specific objectives -Make a high resolution CTD mesh (10 days) -Make a yoyo CTD station for 24 hours -Make sampling with LHPR plankton net (2 days)

MFSTEP-2 Cruise (29GD20031108) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2003, The objective of the campaign is to recover 4 profiling buoys thrown into the sea in MFSTEP-1 and realization of CTD and ADCP profiles

EFLUBIO-1 Cruise (29GD20031111) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2003, The purpose of the Eflubio project is to identify, quantify and relate the physical-chemical conditions, the structures of the planktonic communities and the biogeochemical flows in the area of influence of the Nor-Balearic front (and the two water masses it delimits) during the periods of spring bloom and summer stratification.This campaign has two objectives, one such as the placement of the anchored sediment trap(The trap was in the Gulf of León at 41.80 N 5.20 E, at about 2300 m depth) and another scientific one that is to study the planktonic communities and associated biochemical flows during the stratification and oligotrophic situation in the northwestern Mediterranean.Temperature, salinity and oxygen parameters will be measured.Inorganic and organic nutrients, biochemical composition (proteins and nucleic acids of plankton), bacteria, ciliates and flagellates, phytoplankton, chlorophyll, pigments, micro and mesozooplankton, bacterial production, primary production, sedimentation of particulate matter, phytoplankton sedimentation, pigment sedimentation

DINAPROFIT-1 Cruise (29GD20040302) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2004, Dynamics of spring phytoplankton proliferations in the central Cantabrian.The campaign consists of the repetition of a mesh every 3 days, this mesh consists of 24 stations separated by 7.5 miles. In the stations there will be different samplings, there are physical stations (CTD, Optical Plankton Counter, Video Plankton Recorder) and biological stations ( Turbomap, LHPR, Bongo net ). Meteorological data will be used also the thermosalinograph-fluorometer and ADCP
