La Nouvelle-Calédonie : Atouts et enjeux maritimes d'un pays "doué"

The publication draws up a balance sheet about the natural marine assets of New Caledonia by distinguishing the coast and the intertidal zones, the coral reefs and lagoons, the open sea or "deep blue". A set of assets relative to the living and miner...

Thematic mapping of reefs by processing of simulated SPOT satellite data : application to the Trochus niloticus biotope on Tetembia reef (New Caledoni...

Exploitation of Trochus niloticus is important for Pacific islanders. The shell yields valuable mother of pearl of wich 2.000 tons were exported from New Caledonia in 1978. Knowledge of the exploitable stock requires a good estimate of the surface ar...

Multiple cryptic species in the blue-spotted maskray (Myliobatoidei : Dasyatidae : Neotrygon spp.) : an update

Previous investigations have uncovered divergent mitochondrial clades within the blue-spotted maskray, previously Neotrygon kuhlii (Muller and Henle). The hypothesis that the blue-spotted maskray may consist of a complex of multiple cryptic species h...

Maturation and spawning in captivity of penaeid shrimps

As no indigenous species of commercial penaeid shrimp live in the waters of French Po1ynesia, the pre1iminary step in deve10ping shrimp aquaculture was to obtain maturation and spawning in captivity. Five species have been investigated. Wi1d-caught j...

Correlation between detection of a plasmid and high-level virulence of Vibrio nigripulchritudo, a pathogen of the shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris

Vibrio nigripulchritudo, the etiological agent of Litopenaeus stylirostris summer syndrome, is responsible for mass mortalities of shrimp in New Caledonia. Epidemiological studies led to the suggestion that this disease is caused by an emergent group...

Decadal increase in the number of recreational users is concentrated in no-take marine reserves

In coastal areas, demographic increase is likely to result in greater numbers of recreational users, with potential consequences on marine biodiversity. These effects may also occur within Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), which are popular with recreat...

Harvesting effects on tropical invertebrate assemblages in New Caledonia

Despite the importance of invertebrate resources for Pacific coral reef islands, few studies have specifically addressed the effects of harvesting on invertebrate assemblages including targeted and non-targeted species. The impacts of recreational ha...

Marine natural products from New Caledonia : a review

Marine micro- and macroorganisms are well known to produce metabolites with high biotechnological potential. Nearly 40 years of systematic prospecting all around the New Caledonia archipelago and several successive research programs have uncovered ne...

Marine reserves lag behind wilderness in the conservation of key functional roles

Although marine reserves represent one of the most effective management responses to human impacts, their capacity to sustain the same diversity of species, functional roles and biomass of reef fishes as wilderness areas remains questionable, in part...

A survey of fairy tern (Sterna nereis) breeding colonies in the southern lagoon, New Caledonia

The breeding success of Fairy Terns in New Caledonia is poorly known despite the species being considered nationally endangered. Between June and October 2004, we surveyed 22 islets and coral banks in the Southern Lagoon of New Caledonia at least onc...
