Irrigation experiments on 12 instrumented field plots were used to assess the impact of dynamic soil crack networks on
infiltration and run-off. During applications of intensity similar to a heavy rainstorm, water was seen being preferentially
delivered within the soil profile. However, run-off was not observed until soil water content...

Attitudes towards production processes increased their importance over food purchase decissions in recent years. This paper aims to test which factors mainly affects attitudes towards aquaculture. Factors are classified into three groups: demographic, situational, and personal and marketing infuences. Using consumer survey data, factor analysis techniques were used to obtain...
The aim of this work is to analyse the evolution of profit margins of those firms that have decided to use a PDO label (Mejillón de Galicia in the case of this research) to improve their economic performance and to evaluate the success of this product differentiation strategy. A sample of...
The objectives of this research are to monitor tannin and anthocyanin changes during berry development and over several growing seasons to understand how the vintage effects wine composition. Specifically, the objectives of this research project are :
· Determine the effect of berry development on the composition of phenolics (tannins...
We present the evolution of oceanographic conditions off the western coast of South America between 1996 and 1999, including the cold periods of 1996 and 1998–1999 and the 1997–1998 El Niño, using satellite observations of sea level, winds, sea surface temperature (SST), and chlorophyll concentration. Following a period of cold...
The evolution of oceanographic conditions in the upwelling region off northern Chile
(18°–24°S) between 1996 and 1998 (including the 1997–1998 El Niño) is presented using
hydrographic measurements acquired on quarterly cruises of the Chilean Fisheries Institute, with
sea surface temperature (SST), sea level, and wind speeds from Arica (18.5°S), Iquique...
European seabass and gilthead seabream are two economically important cultured fish species along the Mediterranean coast. Both species represent respectively 10.9% and 13.5% of the total value of the European aquaculture sector (Eurostat, 2013). The EU is one of the largest producers of seabass and seabream in the world, being...
This contribution aims to provide an economic assessment of the seabream and seabass industry in the Mediterranean, in order to describe the recent development and current situation of the economy and markets of this industry. It focuses on analyzing the economic and financial structure at different levels of aggregation (industry,...
