confirm the existence of a habitat
GIRL INDEMARES 0211, executed in the Gulf of Cadiz on board the research vessel "Cornide de Saavedra", from 10 February to 7 March 2011 in areas of the fishing area of \u200b\u200bthe Labyrinth and mud volcanoes Hesperides field, has collected samples of sediment, benthic and demersal fauna, and physical and chemical characteristics of the water column at 362 sampling points.

| Bivalve Solemyidae family found in areas with emission of some mud volcanoes studied, in this case the volcano's summit Anastasya to 457 m deep. |
direct techniques have been used as the gravity corer, box corer dredging and demersal trawl fishing gears such as beam trawler or beam trawl and demersal fishing gear Baka and indirect techniques such as ADCP, CTD and rosette the ocean. All these multidisciplinary methodologies have provided data that will allow study in great detail the biodiversity of the habitats associated with seeps in deepwater Gulf of Cadiz.

| benthic trawl Dredge whose mouth is plugged by muddy gap typical mud volcanoes. You can see the greenish-gray mud with small ridges of different sizes. |
Preliminary results confirmed the presence of communities associated with gas emissions (Habitat 1180 of the Habitats Directive) in Anastasya volcanoes, Almazan and Aveiro, which include species of bivalves that could be new to science. You have found the presence of other habitat types that are included in the Habitats Directive and OSPAR, such as reefs (Habitat 1170) facies of the gorgonian Callogorgia verticillata spp Acanthogorgia and hard substrates in areas with carbonate (mainly of fireplaces and tiled) or bamboo coral Isidella elongata on muddy bottoms. Other habitats found during the campaign, were the deep aggregations of sponges, both hard and soft money, or megafauna communities excavator Pennatulacea and soft bottoms of the volcanoes in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Labyrinth. Similarly, by taking sediment samples have confirmed that many of the mountains of mud volcanoes studied are due to the existence of gaps mud on top of these morphologies.
