The echinoderms of the soft bottoms of the South-Western lagoon of New Caledonia;Proceedings of the sixth international coral reef symposium

A bionomic mapping survey of the soft bottoms of the South-Western lagoon of New Caledonia was carried out by dredging. From analysis of the sediments and the fauna and flora found in 489 dredgings, it was possible to define three main benthic commun...

Variations in the fish catch composition in the Bay of St Vincent, New Caledonia, as determined by experimental trawling

An experimental trawl survey was conducted in the Bay of St Vincent between December 1984 and April. In all, 85 hauls were performed during cruises. The trawled fish represented 233 species and 59 families. Biomass and density estimates declined 13-f...

Structure and temporal fluctuations of two interdital seagrass-bed communities in New Caledonia (SW Pacific ocean)

The structure and trophic organisation of two intertidal seagrass-bed communities (#Halodule uninervis$ and #Thalassia hemprichii$ were examined on the South-West coast of New Caledonia (SW Pacific Ocean), from April 1989 to March 1990. Five benthic ...

Comparative ichthyotoxicity of shallow and deep water sponges of New Caledonia;Proceedings of the sixth international coral reef symposium

A survey of comparative ichthyotoxicity in marine sponges from shallow and deep water in the Southern province of New Caledonia was conducted. Test fish #Gambusia affinis$ (#Vertebrata, Pisces$) were exposed to aqueous macerates of 30 shallow water a...

Monthly samples of the bivalves #Atactodea striata$, #Gafrarium tumidum$ and #Anadara scapha$ were collected over 1 year from the littoral zone on the South-Western coast of New Caledonia. #A. striata$ and #G. tumidum$ were studied by macroscopic exa...

Reproductive biology of the holothurians from major communities of the New Caledonian lagoon

The reproductive biology of nine species of aspidochirote holothurians from the majour communities of the New Caledonian lagoon has been analysed. The data were obtained from monthly sampling from 1978 to 1982 of their populations on reef slopes and ...

Diagnosis of amitraz resistance in Boophilus microplus in New Caledonia with the modified Larval Packet Test

The tick Boophilus microplus represents a serious pathological constraint to livestock production in New Caledonia. Cattle ticks are controlled by chemical application of two acaricides that are currently used in New Caledonia; deltamethrin is used a...

Effect of early, short-term supplementation on weight and linear growth of 4-7-mo-old infants in developing countries : a four-country randomized tria...

The effect of supplementation on growth was tested by means of four similar controlled randomized trials in the Congo (n = 120), Senegal (n = 110), Bolivie (n = 127), and New Caledonia (n = 90). Four month-old infants were randomly allocated to suppl...
