ResumenSince 2005 a multidisciplinary team of marine researchers has investigated Cold-water coral (CWC) communities at the Cap de Creus submarine canyon (NW Mediterranean) in the frame of National and International research projects. Today, after 7 years of investigations, our knowledge on this underwater canyon, close to the sea village of Cadaqués and reaching more than 2200 m water depth, has significantly improved. We are now much more familiar with the hydrodynamics and physical characteristics of the locations and the substrate, which harbor the CWC populations. Furthermore, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and especially the research submersible JAGO (IFM-GEOMAR) also allowed not only for the acquisition of high quality images and video records, but also made it possible to study CWC occurrences, abundances and distribution patterns. These state-of-the-art technical tools also enabled the non-invasive sampling of selected specimens, as wel as the study of planktonic communities close to the coral populations. In 2005 we started to maintain live specimens of different CWC species in aquaria, of which many are still alive at present day. Those specimens allowed diverse short and long term experiments since 2006. The outcomes of these studies increase our understanding of CWC ecophysiology, in particular feeding ecology and growth, as well as of the potential effects of climate change on these animals. In this presentation we would like to summarise the research conducted during 7 years of work in a multidisciplinary team, which has grown and developed by adding new expertise and young scientists through time
