90th percentile calculated during the productive period of the WFD (March-October) from 2015 to 2020, from the MODIS Chl-a algorithm processed by OC5 IFREMER/ARGANS (Gohin et al 2002, Gohin 2011).

The Pelagos database is the result of collaborative work by the Réseau des Stations et Observatoires Marins (RESOMAR), now part of the ILICO research infrastructure. It brings together biodiversity data from the coastal pelagic ecosystem (including time series). One of the goals is to exploit the biological information acquired, to answer scientific questions concerning, for example, the factors controlling the distribution and abundance of pelagic organisms at different spatial and time scales.
