| Uptake rates of three potential N-sources (ammonium, nitrate and N-urea) and two potential C-sources (HCO(3)(-) and C-urea) were estimated during growth of Alexandrium catenella in both light and dark phases. According to the variations observed in (13)C-isotopic ratio, A. catenella cells were not able to use C-urea. Furthermore, decreases in (13)C cell content during darkness revealed a probably high involvement of C recently fixed in dark respiration. Dark N-uptake capacities of A. catenella were characterized by dark/light uptake ratio of 27%, 43% and 65% for NO(3)(-), NH(4)(+) and N-urea, respectively. An accumulation of C-rich compounds during the light period was highlighted through strong diel variations in C:N ratio and would provide C and energy... |

| We explored the role of natural and anthropogenic environmental perturbations in shaping the community structure and dynamics of pico- and nanophytoplankton in coastal waters. The distribution patterns of phycoerythrin-rich picocyanobacteria (PE-CYAN) and phycocyanin-rich picocyanobacteria (PC-CYAN), autotrophic picoeukaryotes (PEUK) and nanophytoplankton (NANO) were examined over a period of 3 yr in 24 Mediterranean coastal lagoons displaying wide trophic gradients (from 0.2 to 630 mu g chlorophyll a [chl a] l(-1)) and salinity gradients (from fresh to marine waters). In summer, picoplanktonic abundances reached 3 x 10(8) cells l(-1), 5 x 10(9) cells l(-1) and 6 x 10(10) cells l(-1) for PE-CYAN, PC-CYAN and PEUK, respectively. PE-CYAN and PC-CYAN showed... |

| Carbon stable isotopes and fatty acids were measured in the suspended particulate organic matter (POM) of the Thau lagoon to study its qualitative temporal changes in relation to environmental factors and to identify the food sources of bivalves over a one-yr-cycle in relation to their growth. Reciprocally, the impact of shellfish farming on POM was also studied. Oysters and mussels were sampled and measured for biometry, stable isotopes and fatty acid composition. Water samples were collected at two sites, both inside and outside of the shellfish farming area, to determine concentrations in POM, chlorophyll a (Chl a) and stable isotopes. Carbon isotopes and fatty acids in bivalves reflected seasonal changes in food sources, which varied consistently with... |

| This study was conducted in the Mediterranean area during a mass mortality event of Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. The objectives of this work were to increase our understanding of the mass mortality phenomena in Pacific oysters, to identify risky cultivation practises and to propose mitigation strategies. In the first part of this work, we followed environmental parameters of the Thau lagoon in relation with mortality events. Then, we compared mortality and growth parameters of oysters as a function of their origins, their development stages and cultivation sites in relation with energetic, reproduction and pathogens. Finally, we conducted transfer experiments where oysters maintained free of mortality in open sea were transferred in the Thau lagoon... |

| Time series data have been examined in Thau lagoon (Southern France) from 1972 to 2006 for water temperature, salinity, nutrients and from 1987 to 2006 for phytoplankton. A first main trend identified is an increase in mean annual water temperature (1.5 degrees C over 33 years or 0.045 degrees C/year) that was not evenly distributed among seasons. The highest rate of increase was in the spring (+ 3.0 degrees C over 33 years), followed by summer (+ 2.0 degrees C and fall (+ 1.7 degrees C. In winter, no significant increase over the 33 year period could be found. A second clear trend is a large decrease in soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentration over the same 33 year period (summer values decreased from 10 mu M to 1 mu M. while winter values... |

| A cross-ecosystem comparison of data obtained from 20 French Mediterranean lagoons with contrasting eutrophication status provided the basis for investigating the variables that best predict chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentrations and nutrient limitation of phytoplankton biomass along a strong nutrient enrichment gradient. Summer concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and phosphorus (DIP) comprised only a small fraction of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP). On the basis of inorganic nutrient concentrations, the most oligotrophic lagoons appeared to be phosphorus-limited, with a tendency towards the development of nitrogen limitation as eutrophication increased, as evidenced by decreasing DIN:DIP ratios. A weak but significantly... |

| Coastal lagoons are morphologically and ecologically complex ecosystems, subject to constantly changing environmental conditions generally of much greater magnitude than it is recorded in the open sea. Due to their transitional nature, they usually display a number of specific features (ie. high nutrient concentrations, light spectral quality, salinity range) which are potentially influencing strategies of adaptation of photosynthetic microorganisms. The unicellular cyanobacteria Synechococcus is a major component of marine and freshwater picophytoplankton. Its genetic diversity is well documented for these ecosystems, but knowledge about biodiversity and distribution of this genus in transitional waters remains scarce. The phylogenetic analysis of a... |

| Since 1998, blooms of Alexandrium catenella/tamarense in the lagoon of Thau developed regularly each autumn, reaching a maximum of several millions cells per liter in 2004. By contrast, spring blooms occurred only twice (in 2000 and 2007). During these periods, sea surface temperatures (SST) and the wind patterns appear to impact the bloom occurrences much more than the apparent limiting resources such as inorganic nutrients. The analysis of SST and wind from April to June and September to November (from 2000 to 2007) indicates first that there has to be an initial wind stress in order to resuspend the cysts buried in the sediment. Blooms then occur after a period of weak winds (<4 m s(-1)) and of stable SST close to 20 degrees C (+/- 2 degrees C).... |
