Objective The objective of the series of ECLAIR cruises (from March to August 2008) was to temporally monitor the plankton ecosystem in the Gironde river plume, a crucial habitat for the Bay of Biscay anchovy population's viability. These cruises cover the entire season of development, specifying the physical and trophic (phyto- and zooplankton) environment as well as the vertical distribution of eggs and larvae. All these elements are determining factors in better assessing larval survival and finally, recruitment of anchovy in the Bay of Biscay. This last ECLAIR cruise (August 2008) supplied elements about hydrological conditions in mid-summer i.e., the end of the anchovy spawning season and the larval development period. It is related to the STRADA (adaptive population strategies) project in the DEMOSTEM programme.
