| Objective | The objective of the MERMED2 cruise is to catch hake and their prey to meet the objectives of the 'Hake food chain' sub-project of the Integrated Mediterranean program (PIM), the national coastal ecology program (PNEC) and the SYSCOLAG regional program. The biological analyses carried out during this cruise will define the diet of hake in the autumn period and provide knowledge of its level of chemical contamination for various components, at each level of its trophic network, in order to establish a bioaccumulation model. The 3 working areas were at the following positions: ** Zone 1: N43 deg 24.000 - E004 deg 13.000 - N43 deg 18.000 - E004 deg 59.000 - N43 deg 16.000 - E004 deg 06.000 - N43 deg 10.000 - E004 deg 52.000 *** Zone 2: N43 deg 21.000 - E003 deg 43.000 - N43 deg 19.000 - E003 deg 48.000 - N43 deg 09.000 - E003 deg 23.000 - N43 deg 08.000 - E003 deg 29.000 *** Zone 3: N43 deg 10.000 - E003 deg 52.000 - N43 deg 01.000 - E004 deg 13.000 - N42 deg 59.000 - E003 deg 24.000 - N42 deg 51.000 -E003 deg 49.000. |
