The egg production method applied to the spawning biomass estimation of sardine (Sardina pilchardus Walb.) in the North-Atlantic Spanish coasts
Estimation of biomass of horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus L.) in northern-Spain ( Nortbern IXa and VIIIc ) using the daily egg production method.
In order to estimate the spawning stock biomass of horse mackerel
in the North Atlantic Spanish waters, a series of egg and adult
cruises were carried out by lEO (Instituto Español de Oceanografía)
and AZTI -SIO (Instituto de Investigación y Tecnología para la
Oceanografía, Pesca y Alimentación) .
The survey was carried out from 23 April to 25 May 1992. A total
of 627 plankton samples and 37 adults samples were collected.
A total daily egg production of 3.3 X 1012 egg (SE = 7.26 X 1011
,
CV = 0.22) was estimated for the whole area sarnpled (ICES Division
Vlllc and subdivision northern IXa north). The estirnate of horse
mackerel spawning biornass ranged from 486,549 tons (CV = 0.34, when
using adult pararneter estirnates exclusively frorn the Spanish
survey, down to 368,814 tn (C = 0.32), when alternatively using an
estimate of relative batch fecundity from the southern region of
horse rnackerel western stock
Application of the daily egg production method (DEMP) for sardine (Sardina pilchardus) in the inner of the Bay of Biscay from 1997 until 2011.
Hydrographic features and dynamics of blue whiting, mackerel and horse mackerel in the bay of biscay, 1994-1996. A multidisciplinary study on sefos
Hydrographic and climatic conditions have been found to be one of the most important factors that
can influence the distnbution and behaviour of adults, juveniles and early stages of fish. This
relationship, which has been pointed out by several authors, is also the main objective ofthe SEFOS
project, which studies the relationship between the distnbutions and migrations of commercially
important fish species and the oceanography of the European shelf edge. Within this framework, the
Bay of Biscay presents special oceanographic and climatic conditions that could intluence the
aggregations of food and larvae in retention areas throughout this zone, which is one of the most
important nursery areas for several fish species and seasonal migrations of blue whiting, horse
mackerel and mackerel
This paper presents the results of a multidisciplinary study of the relationship between the
oceanographic conditions ofthe Bay ofBiscay and the distribution ofboth early stages - eggs and
larvae - and adult fish ofhorse mackerel, mackerel and blue whiting for the period 1994-1996
Results of sardine daily egg production off the northern coast of Spain for April 2008.
This document presents the results of the SAREVA0408 ichthyoplankton survey conducted by
IEO (Instituto Español de Oceanografía). This survey was carried out on board R/V Cornide de
Saavedra during April 2008. The covered area was the North and North-western Iberian
Peninsula waters and the inner part of the Bay of Biscay (from 42°N to 45°N).The present paper
includes data on sardine (Sardina pilchardus) egg distribution and abundance from the
SAREVA0408 survey, as well as the estimation of daily egg production (DEPM) for sardine in
the North Spanish Atlantic, Cantabrian waters and south of the Bay of Biscay

Update of estimates of the Spawning Stock Biomass for sardine (Sardina pilchardus, W.) off the north Atlantic Spanish Coast in 2005 applying the DEPM.
DEPM 2014. Preliminary Egg Results for the Atlanto-Iberian Sardine ICES VIII and IXa
The triennial DEPM for estimation of sardine spawning biomass for the Atlanto-Iberian stock areas IXa – VIIIc and VIIIb up to 45 º N took place in the S and W (IPMA) from 15th March to 26th April and in the N (Galicia, Cantabrian Sea and French coast, IEO) between 29th March and 21st April. The whole area was surveyed however the Portuguese survey occurred much later than usual and suffered several interruptions; part of IPMA´s DEPM survey was conducted simultaneously to the acoustics survey onboard the same vessel. The number of fishing samples was maintained at levels similar to other years but it was evident that sardine schools were less available than during previous surveys in particular in the western and northern shores. Preliminary estimates highlighted a sharp decrease in egg production from 2011 to 2014; this pattern was particularly clear in the northern stratum
Characterising the spawning habitats of sardine from the northern coast of Spain in april 2008
This document presents the results of the analysis from sardine (Sardina pilchardus) egg densities in
relation to environmental (temperature, salinity) and geographic (longitude, depth) variables. Data were
obtained from the SAREVA0408 ichthyoplankton survey conducted by IEO (Instituto Español de
Oceanografía) in April 2008. Quotient analysis, temperature-salinity plots and time distribution for eggs
per stage of development, were employed to study spawning habitat of the sardine off north Spanish
Atlantic, Cantabrian waters and south of the Bay of Biscay
