Objective | The PELGAS survey series aims at monitoring the Bay of Biscay pelagic ecosystem, to inform the ecosystem based management of the European Atlantic Area. The PELGAS integrated survey aims at collecting data on the main components of the Bay of Biscay pelagic ecosystem. The spatial and temporal dynamics of small pelagic fish populations are specifically monitored, with a focus on anchovy populations. The survey takes place in spring, during anchovy spawning, to allow for the assessment of both eggs and adult stages. |
