Title: From benthic resting stages to HAB events: understanding the role of physical-biological coupling off NW Portugal

Funding: PTDC/CTA-AMB/31265/2017, funded by FEDER through COMPETE2020 - Operational Programme for Competitiveness and Internationalization (POCI), and by national funds (OE) through FCT/MCTES.

Project Coordinator: Ana Amorim

Address: aaferreira@fc.ul.pt

Scientific Coordinator: Ana Amorim and Paulo Oliveira

Objectives: Blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum are a recurrent phenomenon in the Iberian upwelling system. This project will investigate the physical and biological processes that determine G. catenatum bloom initiation, with emphasis on benthic resting stages (cysts). Other harmful and potentially harmful (HABs) cyst producing species will also be investigated.

Total Financing: 239 892.55€ (Hydrographic Institute (IH): 44 300.00€)
