Spatial characterization of the fisheries in the Avilés Canyon System (Cantabrian Sea, Spain)
Ciencias Marinas, 2016 Marine protected areas are one of the main tools in ecosystem-based fishery management. This approach requires analyzing the role of fisheries in the ecosystem by, for example, identifying fishing tactics and analyzing the spatial distribution with ...

Community Composition and Habitat Characterization of a Rock Sponge Aggregation (Porifera, Corallistidae) in the Cantabrian Sea [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Deep-sea sponge-dominated communities are complex habitats considered hotspots of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. They are classified as Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem and are listed as threatened or declining as a result of anthropogenic activities.

Characterization of marine heatwaves in the Cantabrian Sea, SW Bay of Biscay [PDF]
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2022 The trend towards an increased incidence of marine heatwaves (MHWs) due to climate change poses a serious threat to the health of coastal ecosystems. Here, we characterized MHWs based on daily in situ water temperature measurements collected from 1998 to 2019 in two intertidal coves, Oleiros and La Franca, located in the central Cantabrian Sea coast, N

Photoacclimation of picophytoplankton in the central Cantabrian Sea
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2013 Photoacclimation of picophytoplankton was studied in the mixed layer of 3 stations in the central Cantabrian Sea (southern Bay of Biscay). Picophytoplankton chl a:carbon ratios (θ) presented minimum values during summer, when irradiance, temperature, and biomass of prokaryotes reached maximum values and inorganic nutrient concentrations were low ...

Microplastics in wild mussels (Mytilus spp.) from the north coast of Spain
Scientia Marina, 2019 Microplastic content (MPs) in mussels (Mytilus spp.) from two areas of the north coast of Spain was measured for the first time. Additionally, a comparison of microplastic levels observed in mussels digested with nitric acid and with potassium hydroxide ...
