| In the context of global change, decrease in oxygen availability (hypoxia) combined with rising water temperature are especially prevalent in coastal regions, towards which marine fish larvae may drift at the end of their development. It is well admitted that the physiological regulations implemented by organisms to cope with their environment during the early life stages of life can cause profound consequences in their subsequent life-history trajectory (developmental plasticity). Therefore, the main objective of this thesis was to investigate whether ecologically relevant conditions of oxygenation (40% and 100% air saturation) combined with thermic conditions (15 and 20 °C), occurring at the last stages of larval development of European sea bass... |
