Objective | The BIOGAS X cruise is part of an overall programme initiated in 1972 aiming at describing abyssal benthic populations in the Bay of Biscay, their relationship with the cycle of organic matter at the water/sediment interface and the functioning of deep-sea animal communities. The BIOGAS X cruise focused in particular on counting the megafauna and estimating its bioturbation intensity using photographs. |
