The ICM-CSIC is working hard to implement measures to mitigate pain, distress or suffering in farmed aquaculture species.

According to a new study, the plastic used for disposable plates, cups and cutlery is not more sensitive to photodegradation in the sea, nor is it preferentially ingested by microorganisms capable of degrading plastic.

According to a new study, services offered by this project bring solutions to some of citizen observatories' most critical technological challenges.

The details of this research, led by the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), are reported in an article published recently in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.

A new study led by the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) and the University of Barcelona (UB) shows how a great diversity of marine organisms attach themselves to plastics and, with these, are dragged along by marine currents.

This has been confirmed by researchers from the ICM-CSIC after producing sea salinity data obtained from measurements by the European Space Agency's (ESA) SMOS satellite, which were later incorporated into the TOPAZ Arctic prediction model.
