Suplemento de Investigación Pesquera.-- 94 páginas, 21 figuras, 14 tablas, 4 fotografías[EN] The cruise MAROC-IBERIA I, in June and July 1973, collected material for a study of hydrography and plankton in the area around the Strait of Gibraltar, including the Bay of Spain and the Sea of Alboran. Zooplankton collections were made using following equipement: nets WP-2 used in vertical tows from different depths, nets with a mesh of 250 um for horizontal tows at a depth of 2-3 m, and nets with a mesh of 200 um, towed between 200 and 0 m, their catch was used for estimating biomass.

Sin embargo, pocos tratan del plancton animal de una y otra parte del estrecho sino que generalmente hacen referencia a determinadas áreas más o menos localizadas. [...]Peer reviewe
