Hydrographic (black and red crosses) and plankton (red crosses) stations during the survey. The schematic lines indicate the main currents, Northern Current (NC) and Balearic Current (BC), and recent AW inflow through the Eivissa and Mallorca Channels. Coastline is from Natural Earth [41] and Instituto Hidrográfico de la Marina [42], and isobaths (every 400 m depth) are from European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet, [43]).
