| Biological performances (growth and reproduction) of intertidal bivalves mainly rely on environmental factors such as water temperature and food sources. Both quality and quantity of bivalve food sources, however, are not easy to determine because of complex features of coastal ecosystem functioning, such as high spatial heterogeneity. This is particularly critical for oyster (Crassostrea gigas) culture in France when quantifying and explaining the variability in growth performances of oysters among culture sites at a large spatial scale. In this context, insights for new operational tools to characterise trophic features of coastal ecosystems are needed. The aim of the present study is to couple natural isotope tracers and DEB modeling to describe and... |

| We studied the dynamics of stable isotopes δ13C and δ15N of an opportunistic suspension feeder the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) to better understand the factors that influence the trophic enrichment (trophic-shift, Δ) between primary producers and consumers. Most of the previous studies on this topic do not quantify mass fluxes or isotopic discrimination phenomena in the organism, which are two pillars in isotope ecology. We used a dynamic energy budget (DEB) approach (Kooijman, 2010) to quantify i) the fluxes of elements and isotopes in C. gigas soft tissues and ii) the impact of the scaled feeding level, the organism mass and the isotopic ratio of food on the "trophic-shift" Δ, and isotope turnover in tissues. Calibration and parametrization... |

| We developed a full life-cycle bioenergetic model for the great scallop P. maximusrelying on the concepts of the Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory. The covariation method was implemented to estimate the parameters of a standard DEB model. Such models are able to predict various metabolic processes from a food availability marker and temperature in the environment. However, suspension-feeders are likely to feed on various trophic sources, from microalgae cells to detritus. They are also able to sort and select food particles very efficiently, depending on their size, energetic value or quality. The present model includes a mechanistic description of the feeding processes, based on Kooijman’s Synthesizing Unit principle which allow to deal with several food... |
