Groundfish survey data from the German Bight from 1902-08, 1919-23, and 1930-1932 and ICES International Bottom Trawl Survey (IBTS) quarter 3 data from 1991 to 2009

Groundfish survey data from the German Bight from 1902-08, 1919-23, and 1930-1932 and ICES International Bottom Trawl Survey (IBTS) quarter 3 data from 1991 to 2009 were analysed with respect to species frequencies, maximum length, trends in catch-per-unit-effort, species richness parameters (SNR) and presence of large fish (Phi40), the latter defined as average presence of species per haul with specimens larger than 40 cm given. Four different periods are distinguished: (a) before 1914 with medium commercial CPUE and low landings, Phi40 approx. 2, high abundance in elasmobranchs and SNR conditions indicating highly diverse assemblages, (b) conditions immediately after 1918 with higher commercial CPUE, recovering landings, Phi40 at > 4 in 1919, and SNR conditions indicating highly diverse assemblages, (c) conditions from 1920 to the early 1930's with decreasing commercial CPUE, increased landings, decreasing Phi40, SNR conditions similar to later years indicating less diverse assemblages, and a decrease in elasmobranchs. In the IBTS series (d), Phi40 remains low indicating an increased rarity of large specimens, and SNR characteristics are similar to the third period. Dab, whiting and grey gurnard have increased considerably in the IBTS series as compared to the historic data. Phi40 is suggested an alternative indicator reflecting community functional diversity when weight based indicators cannot be applied.

Vanguardias figurativas y arquitectura industrial en el período entreguerras (1918-1939)

Una de las características más interesantes que define a las Vanguardias Figurativas de comienzos del siglo XX es su fascinación por el mundo industrial como punto de ruptura con el pasado y fe en el progreso: la velocidad, la industrialización, las posibilidades de la electricidad, el maquinismo?, son elementos comunes a movimientos como el Futurismo o el Constructivismo, donde Arte, Arquitectura e Ingeniería se dan la mano en obras integradoras a medio camino entre lo utópico y lo visionario. De especial interés resulta el estudio de las obras industriales diseñadas y construidas en el período denominado de "entreguerras" (entre la Primera y la Segunda Guerra Mundial, 1918-1939), entre las que podríamos destacar los dibujos de Sant¿Elia, la presa de Klingenberg, de Poelzig y, sobre todo, los proyectos de Casto Fernández-Shaw. Este singular arquitecto ideó, entre 1918 y 1919, lo que él llamaría un "Monumento al Triunfo de la Civilización, a las Grandes Conquistas de la Idea, a las Victorias del Hombre sobre la Naturaleza, a la Paz Universal". Se trata en realidad de una gran presa (construcción que Casto asocia con el avance de la tecnología y el conocimiento humano), de aires egipcios con dos potentísimos pilonos que arrojan sendos haces de luz hacia el cielo. Aunque el proyecto nunca se llevó a cabo, estas ideas futuristas y utópicas nunca abandonarían a Casto y supondrían una notable influencia en el resto de su obra. En esta comunicación analizaremos estos interesantes ejemplos de arquitectura industrial, relacionándolos no sólo entre sí y con el resto de obras de sus autores, sino también con otros edificios construidos posteriormente pero profundamente influidos por estas corrientes vanguardistas (como la presa de Grandas de Salime, 1948-1954, de Joaquín Vaquero Palacios).
