The aim of these cruises, which took place on the Thalia, was to evaluate the abundance of the scallop stock in the Charentais channels.

Raw seismic reflection data archived at SISMER, acquired: - by oceanographic vessels and national equipment managed by the French Oceanographic Fleet (FOF) - by foreign oceanographic vessels in collaboration with Ifremer - by Ifremer's historic vessels (Jean Charcot, Nadir, Suroit) operated before the FOF was set up

French national archive (SISMER) of time series data, particularly current meter and thermistor data.

Validated and aggregated data from current profilers measured continuously by hull-mounted ADCPs (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler).

The ORHAGO cruises (Observation of the benthic aquatic resources of the GOlfe de Gascogne) are part of Ifremer's mission of observation and expertise in support of fisheries management. Their main aim is to obtain series of abundance indices for flatfish and in particular for sole. Consequently, the choice was made to adopt a beam trawl to comply with the standards of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) for flatfish. This choice has made it possible to be part of the campaigns coordinated by ICES and thus to be a member of a community in which the methodology and results can be discussed each year in the ICES WGBEAM working groups. Since 2013, the ORHAGO campaigns have been used to assess the state of the Bay of Biscay sole stock. They allow this assessment to be carried out analytically, i.e. using a model to analyse and simulate the dynamics of the stock. The ORHAGO campaigns are also a source of information on the evolution of benthic populations and coastal benthic habitats in the Bay of Biscay.

Localisation of marine geological and biological samples, stored in the biology and geology ocean database managed by IFREMER (BIGOOD, BIology and GeOlogy Ocean Database).
