Effluents from land based marine farms: nature, treatment, valorisation, modelisation. Applications to fish and shrimp rearing

Fish culture (seabass, turbot...) on the French metropolitan coast, and shrimp culture in the overseas territories (essentially New Caledonia and Tahiti) are subject to a regular development through land based farms. Three thematic of research on aqu...

Influence of plankton concentration on gametogenesis and spawning of the black lip pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera in Ahe atoll lagoon (Tuamotu ar...

Pearl culture industry represents one of the dominant business sector of French Polynesia. However, it still entirely relies on unpredictable spat collection success. Our aim was to assess the influence of natural plankton concentration fluctuations ...

Le développement socio-économique dans les DOM-TOM : état des lieux

The goal of this study was to provide economic data to align Ifremer's research programme with the global socio-economic context, which is the crux of this work. Although the economies of the French Overseas Departments and Territories are poorly und...

Colony-colony interactions between highly invasive ants

Among invasive species, ants are a particularly prominent group with enormous impacts on native biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Globalization and on-going climate change are likely to increase the rate of ant invasions in the future, leading ...

Impacts of shrimp farm effluent on water quality, benthic metabolism and N-dynamics in a mangrove forest (New Caledonia)

Water quality parameters, sediment oxygen demand (SOD), dissolved organic and inorganic nutrient fluxes, and N-cycle processes (nitrification; denitrification; dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA)) were determined in a New Caledonian ma...

Fermentative hydrogen production by a new alkaliphilic Clostridium sp (strain PROH2) isolated from a shallow submarine hydrothermal chimney in Prony B...

The hydrogen-producing strain PROH2 pertaining to the genus Clostridium was successfully isolated from a shallow submarine hydrothermal chimney (Prony Bay, New Caledonia) driven by serpentinization processes. Cell biomass and hydrogen production perf...

A simple and rapid device for measuring planktonic primary production by in situ sampling, and 14C injection and incubation

A system (LET GO) is described that enables measurements of primary production at sea after #in situ$ incubation, with 14C being injected at depth immediately after enclosure of the sample. Each incubation cell, about 200 ml, is made of two transpare...

Epibator insularis, a new species of scincid lizard from l'Ile Walpole, New Caledonia

A new species of skink in the genus Epibator is described from Ile Walpole, a small, isolated, raised vegetated limestone platform, similar to 200 km ESE of southern New Caledonia. The new species is distinguished from its congeners Epibator nigrofas...

Bleaching forces coral's heterotrophy on diazotrophs and Synechococcus

Coral reefs are threatened by global warming, which disrupts the symbiosis between corals and their photosynthetic symbionts (Symbiodiniaceae), leading to mass coral bleaching. Planktonic diazotrophs or dinitrogen (N-2)-fixing prokaryotes are abundan...

Response of phytoplankton to organic enrichment and shrimp activity in tropical aquaculture ponds : a mesocosm study

We conducted a mesocosm study to investigate the combined effect of organic enrichment and sediment resuspension by shrimp on phytoplankton communities in shrimp aquaculture ponds. Hence, the factorial design included 2 factors: (1) shrimp density wi...
