A finite difference scheme is employed to solve the
integral form of the momentum, continuity and heat
equations, for a two layer ocean bounded by a coastline.
The momentum equations include the turbulent dynamics and
the time-dependent and nonlinear terms in both the
cross-shelf and alongshelf directions. The system of...
Intensive sampling of the deep Mediterranean outflow 70 km W of the Strait of Gibraltar reveals a strong, tidally modulated gravity current embedded with large-amplitude oscillations and energetic turbulence. The flow appears to be hydraulically controlled at a small topographic constriction, with turbulence and internal waves varying together and increasing...
Color stability and mouth feel quality are two of the most important aspects of red wine quality. Anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins are responsible for these attributes and it has been shown that weather conditions during the growing season and grape maturity can effect these components in wine. However, investigations into proanthocyanidin...
This work is part of the SUCCESS project (Work Package 4: Competitiveness and sustainability of European fisheries and Aquaculture sectors) funded by the EC (H2020, GA 635188). The dynamics of the value chain in eight different species at the Spanish market has been studied using price integration methodologies. Cases of...
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...
The concept of shared value has been defined by Porter and Cramer as those policies and operating practices that enhance the competitiveness of a company while simultaneously advancing the economic and social conditions in the communities in which it operates. This concept guides a coordinated process of stakeholders' engagement to...
The European Union, under the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund, implement the Community-Led Local Development (CLLD). This programme is designed to address the main challenges faced in the fisheries areas by proposing and testing new solutions by the coastal population. In this sense, Spain plays a key role due to...
Farmed fish products in Europe are mainly addressed to the market of live and fresh whole fishes. Only for the trout sector, due to their vertical integration, is it common to process/transform the fish, offering a wider range of products to final consumers. One key factor that makes the supply...
Marine sponges are vital components of benthic and coral reef ecosystems, providing
shelter and nutrition for many organisms. In addition, sponges act as an essential carbon
and nutrient link between the pelagic and benthic environment by filtering large quantities
of seawater. Many sponge species harbor a diverse microbial community (including...
