"Summer syndrome" in Litopenaeus stylirostris grow out ponds in New Caledonia: zootechnical and environmental factors

The "Summer Syndrome", a septicemic vibriosis caused by Vibrio nigripulchritudo, is responsible for one of the two main seasonal mortalities which affect shrimp aquaculture in New Caledonia. It was identified for the first time in December 1997 in an...

Does coastal lagoon habitat quality affect fish growth rate and their recruitment? Insights from fishing and acoustic surveys

Ensuring the sustainability of fish resources necessitates understanding their interaction with coastal habitats, which is becoming ever more challenging in the context of ever increasing anthropogenic pressures. The ability of coastal lagoons, expos...

A framework for mapping small-scale coastal fisheries using fishers' knowledge

Collecting spatial information on fisheries catch and effort is essential to understanding the spatial processes of exploited population dynamics and to manage heterogeneously distributed resources and uses. The use of fishers' knowledge through geog...

The flora of ultramafic soils in the Australia-Pacific Region : state of knowledge and research priorities

In the Australia-Pacific Region ultramafic outcrops are both widespread and extensive, covering thousands of km(2). Soils derived from ultramafic bedrock impose edaphic challenges and are widely known to host highly distinctive floras with high level...

Genetic diversity and phylogeny of Aedes aegypti, the main arbovirus vector in the Pacific

Background The Pacific region is an area unique in the world, composed of thousands of islands with differing climates and environments. The spreading and establishment of the mosquito Aedes aegypti in these islands might be linked to human migration...

Harvesting effects on functional structure and composition of tropical invertebrate assemblages

Anthropogenic disturbances affect ecosystem structure and functioning. The quantification of their impacts on highly diverse and structurally complex ecosystems, such as coral reefs, is challenging. These communities are facing rising fishing pressur...

Non-market use and non-use values for preserving ecosystem services over time: A choice experiment application to coral reef ecosystems in New Caledon...

Non-use values (i.e. economic values assigned by individuals to ecosystem goods and services unrelated to current or future uses) provide one of the most compelling incentives for the preservation of ecosystems and biodiversity. Assessing the non-use...

Spatio-temporal variations in the composition of organic matter in surface sediments of a mangrove receiving shrimp farm effluents (New Caledonia)

In order to investigate spatio-temporal variations in the composition and origin of the benthic organic matter (OM) at the sediment surface in mangrove receiving shrimp farm effluents, fatty acid (FA) biomarkers, natural stable isotopes (delta C-13 a...

Variability in diel and seasonal in situ metabolism of the tropical gastropod Tectus niloticus

Researchers often use metabolic measurements in the field over narrow time periods to estimate an organism's metabolism over large time scales. Here, we measured in situ respiration, calcification and excretion rates of the tropical gastropod Tectus ...

Molecular phylogenetics of New Caledonian Diospyros (Ebenaceae) using plastid and nuclear markers

To clarify phylogenetic relationships among New Caledonian species of Diospyros, sequences of four plastid markers (atpB, rbcL, trnKmatK and trnStrnG) and two low-copy nuclear markers (ncpGS and PHYA) were analysed. New Caledonian Diospyros species f...
