Abstract

This article outlines the contribution of the Expandable Seafloor Observatory (OBSEA) from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) to the ANERIS project coordinated by the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC). The ANERIS project will serve to deal with the loss of marine biodiversity by creating tools and technologies for the monitoring, research and management of life, and by introducing the concept of Operational Marine Biology (OMB). OBSEA’s involvement in ANERIS is particularly focused on the integration of two innovative imaging technologies: the CytoSub and the UVP6, each of them included in the AIES-PHY (Automatic Information Extraction System for PHYtoplankton images) and AIES-ZOO (Automatic Information Extraction System for ZOOplankton images) in combination with dedicated software for real time WEB data products.
