Resumo: | Harmful and / or toxic phytoplankton blooms impact for a long time marine ecosystems worldwide. These massive developments have an adverse effect on ecosystems and their exploitation. The lagoons of the region Languedoc-Roussillon are affected for decades. In addition to recurring health risks from Dinophysis (DSP toxins) and Alexandrium (PSP toxins), Vulcanodinium rugosum was identified in 2011 in the lagoon Ingril. This new species product pinnatoxins (neurotoxins). Through this thesis work, the biology of this new species (life cycle, growth condition, toxin production), its shellfish contamination capacity and geographic distribution in neighboring lagoons were studied on cultures in the laboratory and via environmental monitoring. The results of this study have demonstrated its thermophilic and euryhaline features (optimum salinity and temperature of 25°C and 40 respectively) and its growth ranges between 20 and 30°C. Its ability to grow on an organic nitrogen source (urea) has been showed in vitro. Its expansion in other lagoons of Languedoc-Roussillon, was confirmed by the contamination of the mussels by the pinnatoxin G. The survival of this organism in the digestive tract of mussels and oysters proves that the transfer of shellfish is potentially a source of contamination of new ecosystems not yet affected by this toxic species. The life cycle of V. rugosum has not been fully described because the resistance cyst has not been formally identified. Temporary cysts appear as very important stages to be considered because of their ability to divide and their strong presence on macrophytes. These temporary forms of resistance may be a significant source of contamination of shellfish in the lagoon of the Ingril even when the vegetative cells of V. rugosum are weakly present in the water column. Because of the low densities of V. rugosum in situ and the difficulty of its identification on morphological criteria, the monitoring within the REPHY protocol remains difficult. Thus the use of passive sampling systems (Spatt) made with resins which adsorb toxins dissolved in water would make possible the early detection of toxins associated with these emerging benthic species. This study highlights the growth of an emerging thermophilic species that might with others and thanks to climate change provide important health and economic problems in vulnerable lagoon ecosystems of the Mediterranean.
