| Since 2008, the French oyster-farming sector has been confronted with exceptionally high rates of mortality affecting spats (less than one year old) of the Pacific oyster, C. gigas, of between 60 and 90% at all rearing sites and in Pertuis Charentais sea. The objective of this document is to provide an overview of the research and studies carried out by Ifremer in Poitou-Charentes since the emergence of this phenomenon. The actions presented were funded by IFREMER, and CPER Poitou-Charentes 2007-2013. |
