Objective | EVHOE is a multiannual survey with the following objectives: * Building up time series of abundance indices for the main dermersal and benthic species in the Celtic Sea and the Bay of Biscay. * Measuring inter-annual changes in their recruitment. * Mapping the spatial distributions of the species and their inter-annual variations, as well as looking for the origin of this variability (biotic and/or abiotic parameters, fisheries impact). * In the framework of the "Bay of Biscay" challenge, the data collected are vital for understanding changes in faunal communities. The standardized daytime bottom trawling cruise covered the following geographic zones: Bay of Biscay, Celtic Shelf, Bristol Channel and south of St George's channel, isobaths from -15 m to Related programmes are 'Fisheries assessment, Fisheries ecosystem, Theme IV :SIDEPECHE/FIS-cruises, DEMOSTEM'. |
