Open AccessFurther investigation is needed to improve the identification and classification of fish in underwater images using artificial intelligence, specifically deep learning. Questions that need to be explored include the ... -
Benthosearcher: a machine learning based tool to ultra-fast, automatic characterization of vulnerable marine ecosystems
(SARTI, 2023)
Article
Open AccessThe degradation and impoverishment of the seabed that has been detected during last decades is the result of numerous variables, among which are uncontrolled exploitation of the seabed concerning its vulnerability, based ... -
Deep-Sea Bioluminescence Blooms after Dense Water Formation at the Ocean Surface
(2013-07-10)
Article
Open AccessThe deep ocean is the largest and least known ecosystem on Earth. It hosts numerous pelagic organisms, most of which are able to emit light. Here we present a unique data set consisting of a 2.5-year long record of light ... -
Drivers and impacts of the most extreme marine heatwaves events
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Article
Open AccessProlonged high-temperature extreme events in the ocean, marine heatwaves, can have severe and long-lasting impacts on marine ecosystems, fisheries and associated services. This study applies a marine heatwave framework to ... -
Implementació d'un sistema de detecció i manipulació de posidònia oceànica amb intel·ligència artificial en un robot bioinspirat
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2025-02-14)
Bachelor thesis
Open AccessPosidonia oceanica, commonly known as Posidonia, is a marine plant that grows exclusively in the Mediterranean Sea. This marine phanerogam develops completely in these waters and is considered one of the most important ... -
Long-lasting ecological monitoring network of lander platforms for marine protected areas
(SARTI, 2024)
Article
Open AccessIn addition to the potential global impact of climate change on marine ecosystems, the extensive use of high-impact fishing methods is a primary catalyst for benthic biodiversity degradation in the Mediterranean Sea. ... -
Long-term monitoring of diel and seasonal rhythm of dentex dentex at an artificial reef
(Frontiers Media, 2022-03-18)
Article
Open AccessBehavioral rhythms are a key aspect of species fitness, since optimize ecological activities of animals in response to a constantly changing environment. Cabled observatories enable researchers to collect long-term biological ... -
Marine ecosystems observation by a cooperative AUV in the PLOME project
(SARTI, 2023)
Article
Open AccessTo improve our understanding of how marine ecosystems function, it is crucial to quantify their processes using proper spatio-temporal multiparametric monitoring techniques. Science and innovative technologies must play a ... -
Megafaunal assemblages in deep-sea ecosystems of the Gulf of Cadiz, northeast Atlantic ocean
(2022-05-01)
Article
Open AccessDeep-sea ecosystems of the Iberian margin have been widely impacted over the past decades, but the limited knowledge on their biodiversity and functioning limits our ability to contribute to their conservation. So far, in ... -
