Next Month February 2011 we will conduct an oceanographic survey in the Gulf of Cadiz (INDEMARES GIRL-0211), in order to gain a more accurate one of the most unique habitats exist in the deep seabed seas and oceans. It is the habitat 1180 and codified by the NATURA 2000 Network , whose biodiversity is related to the expulsion of methane gas, a natural way, escaping from the seabed.
is well known that the Gulf of Cadiz lies in the surface layers of marine sediments, a significant amount of hydrocarbon gases (mainly methane, with lesser amounts propane and butane) . Oceanographic processes that operate forced by the dynamics of marine waters, facilitate the expulsion of methane to slow the water column. This triggers a complex biological mechanism that begins with the concentration of methane-eating bacteria, organized in consortia, which obtain energy from complex chemical reactions that break down methane. Taking this
bacterial activity, go to the site, a variety of species with high natural value, such as cold water corals and sponges, which are concentrated in places of issuance. Their study (using techniques such as the one shown in the video), knowledge of the structure of the communities that live fixed to the bottom, the relationship with demersal species and their distribution in the fishing grounds, are the specific objectives that will tackle this issue scientists led by the English Institute of Oceanography.
