| Description | |
| Summary | The variation of the above mentioned parameters was determined in the column of water of 0-200 m depth. The samples were taken at fixed stations located around the Canary Islands with the purpose of investigating the quality of the waters. The project was included in the National Network for Marine Environment Observation of the Spanish Institute of Oceanography. |
