Summary of measurements

-Systematic echointegration (done at 8 knots on legs from shore to offshore, perpendicular to the coast and 12 NM apart) using ER60-38, 70, 120 and 200 KHz echosounders and archiving by MOVIES+.
-Trawl hauls to identify echoes (37 performed, 7 of which using the 4FF).
-Biometrics of pelagic species, hake (80) with otolith samples, anchovy (3676) and sardines (1814).
-Bathymetric (T, S) profiles performed at the end of each trawl haul (36 CTD) and at the end of each leg.
-Continuous recording of T (Temperature) and S' (Salinity) sub-surface (1,172 nautical miles).
-Continuous recording of echograms sent by 38, 70, 120 and 200 kHz sounders. (1,172 nautical miles).
-Otolith samples taken from anchovy and sardine (376 + 577).
-Plankton sampled with 200µ WP2 net 7 samples.
