CTD

-Distribucion espacial de las zonas de puesta de la anchoa noroccidental mediterranea( por arrastres oblicuos del plancton)\n-Identificacion genetica de posibles unidades de stock ( toma de muestras de larvas)\n-Descripcion de caracteristicas hidrologicas de la zona por datos tomados por CTD y perfilador acustico DOPPLER\n-Distribucion de nutrientes\n-Analisis de tasa de crecimiento larvario de la anchoa por la lectura de incrementos diarios de crecimiento en otolitos\n-Analisis de condicion larvaria por la tecnica de tasa RNA/DNA

Forty-jour CTD stations were conducted out during the cruise Canarias 9205 qf the R. Ii Francisco de Paula Navarro. The present publication is based on the study of the geostrojic circulation and data on temperature, salinity and density obtained j?om these stations, from the sea surface to a depth of 500 m. Zn the western urea of the region, where the stations are closer togeths the geostrophic circulation shows a cyclonic eddy in the Tenertfe-Gomera channel and another antiqcl nic to the South of these islands. The temperature and salinity distributions also show both eddies. In the middle of the qclonic eddy, the upwelled water comes from a depth of about 75 m. On the another hand, the temperature and salinity distributions show, between Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura Glands, the end of ajilament ofupwelled water on the nearby Aftican coast, that had a thick of about 50 m ofj Punta Janda.
