Yolanda Sagarminaga Project Title: Monitoring of Advective Processes in The Bay of Biscay Responsible For Anchovy Early-Life Stages Survival And Recruitment Principal Investigator(s): Yolanda Sagarminaga Funding Agency(s): Department of Agriculture and fisheries, Basque Government. Description of the Research Project and Justification for Real-time SeaWiFS Data: This project will consist in monitoring the advective processes held in the inner Bay of Biscay during summer-early autumn that are responsible for offshore transport of anchovy early life stages (eggs, larvae, and juveniles), and beyond this, for their recruitment into the adult anchovy population (Uriarte et al, 2001) Paralelly, in order to acquire biological samples from these early stage anchovies, an adaptative sampling method (based on the real-time observations from SeaWiFS adn AVHRR data) will be attempted with purse seiners boats fishing juveniles for live bait purposes.
