Biodiversity–Ecosystem Functioning (BEF) approach to further understanding aquaculture–environment interactions with application to bivalve culture and benthic ecosystems
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Lacoste, Elise; Mckindsey, Christopher W.; Archambault, Philippe.
Coastal benthic ecosystems may be impacted by numerous human activities, including aquaculture, which continues to expand rapidly. Indeed, today aquaculture worldwide provides more biomass for human consumption than do wild fisheries. This rapid development raises questions about the interactions the practice has with the surrounding environment. In order to design strategies of sustainable ecosystem exploitation and marine spatial planning, a better understanding of coastal ecosystem functioning is needed so that tools to quantify impacts of human activities, including aquaculture, may be developed. To achieve this goal, some possible directions proposed are integrated studies leading to new concepts, model development based on these concepts and...

Bivalve cultivation can significantly contribute to nutrient cycling in semi-enclosed ecosystems. We investigated the influence of suspended pearl oyster culture on nutrient regeneration in the water column of 3 oligotrophic lagoons in French Polynesia. The aim of this first study performed in a tropical area was to assess the seasonal variability of nutrient fluxes and to quantify the contribution of biofouling communities. In situ metabolic enclosure systems were used to measure nutrient uptake or release by ‘cultivation units’ (i.e. 4 pearl oysters with or without associated biofouling). In all 3 study lagoons (Tahiti, Mangareva, Ahe), nutrient fluxes produced by pearl oyster and associated biofouling communities (CR units) were 4- to 6-fold higher than...

Biofouling development and its effect on growth and reproduction of the farmed pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera

Autores: Lacoste, Elise; Le Moullac, Gilles; Levy, Peva; Gueguen, Yannick; Gaertner-mazouni, Nabila.
In bivalve aquaculture, dominant fouling organisms are filter feeders which can compete for food with reared bivalves, sometimes causing mortality or reducing their growth rate. This study investigated the effect of biofouling on the farmed pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera in two lagoons of French Polynesia. Survival, growth and reproduction of 2 year-old pearl oysters were monitored with regular sampling schedules, from the initial stage of colonization up to 20 months of biofouling accumulation. Control groups of pearl oysters were kept free of biofouling as is the current practice in pearl farms. After more than a year of monitoring, no significant difference was recorded in shell growth rate between pearl oysters reared with epibionts and the...

Trophic relationships between the farmed pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera and its epibionts revealed by stable isotopes and feeding experiments
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Lacoste, Elise; Raimbault, Patrick; Harmelin-vivien, Mireille; Gaertner-mazouni, Nabila.
Bivalve cultures support a host of epibionts, mainly suspension feeders, which can compete for food resources with the cultivated bivalves. However, the magnitude of interspecific competition for food in bivalve aquaculture settings remains inconclusive, especially in tropical areas. We investigated the interactions for food between the farmed pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera and its epibionts, using stable isotope analysis and feeding experiments. Inter-and intraspecific variations of delta C-13 and delta N-15 stable isotope ratios (SIRs) were determined for oysters in the presence or absence of epibionts. The diet of the most abundant epibionts, Herdmania momus and Didemnum sp., was specified using isotope measurements and flow cytometry during...

Is sustainable development a motor or a constraint for the professionalization of the pearl oyster industry in tahiti?

This article reports the results of a survey of the pearl oyster industry in French Polynesia territory. Its purpose is to examine the perceptions of the priorities for the development of this industry towards sustainable development. These perceptions were apprehended by a survey of pearl oyster farmers and other stakeholders of the sector (management authorities, scientists). After describing the methodological protocol of these investigations, it comes to confront the priorities chosen by professionals (i.e. pearl farmers) concerning sustainable development, with the perceptions of others stakeholders in the sector. Secondly it comes to build a typology of the priorities of pearl farmers concerning sustainable development. This analysis enables the...
