Enjoy one of the greatest microscopic adventures ever told! Join a little copepod, a baby octopus and a young turbot on their journey along the upwelling current of the Rías Baixas of Galicia. Learn about the first days of life of these species, the biodiversity of the Galician coast, the importance of plankton & its relationship with the quality of Galician seafood.
Dive into the cold waters of the Atlantic coast and learn from the best experts in the field, following the script by IIM-CSIC researchers Lara García Alves, Mariana N. Cueto Rivas & Helena Rodríguez Domínguez. The comic was produced with Ángel F. González as scientific coordinator, Manuel E. Garci as marine image consultant and Jesús E. Minguet as illustrator.
This is the first comic published in the “Marine Science Comics” series, a project of 4 comics by IIM-CSIC that received financial support from CSIC’s General Foundation (Fundación General CSIC) for its first two publications.
