| A laboratory flume study was conducted to determine the effect of flow velocity on clearance rates of the Polychaeta Terebellidea Lanice conchilega (Pallas, 1966). Using sets of 75 individuals collected along the east coast of the English Channel, we measured clearance rates at five flow velocities of approximate to 4, 9, 15, 22 and 27 cm s(-1) with a culture of the diatom Chaetoceros calcitrans as food source. During each control (without polychaetes) or clearance (with Lanice conchilega) experiment, in vivo fluorescence was continuously monitored. Further HPLC analysis confirmed the sediment resuspension for the highest flow velocities tested, indicating the need for 'corrections' from control experiments. The global pattern resulted in a dome-shaped... |

| This document is the third volume of a bibliographical survey of some of the species studied by IFREMER Brest's Coastal Environment Department (DEL) on a regular basis. The studied animals are a selection of characteristic community species (ex: Lanice or Abra) or populations whose density is so large that they are the ideal material for a regular pluri-annual study (ex: Nucule). For some of them, a regular geographical distribution along the Channel coasts, can be another reason for their selection. On the one hand, for some species, which can be easily reached on the tidal zone, works are numerous and documentation heavy, especially in the ethology field (building of tube of Lanice, displacement of Patelle) On the other hand, documentation, if any, is... |

| Within coastal nurseries, the distribution of juvenile flatfish may depend on small-scale habitat variability. The presence of ecosystem engineers is known to have important impacts in coastal sediments. Lanice conchilega is a well-known marine ecosystem engineer of shallow soft bottom ecosystems, shaping the macrobenthic community and attracting flatfish. The present study examines the relation between juvenile flatfish and L conchilega reefs through two experiments. In a field experiment in the Dutch part of the North Sea, the benthic habitat is evaluated by comparing relative differences in numbers of juvenile flatfish between ecosystem engineered habitats and adjacent bare sand (i.e. non-ecosystem engineered) habitats. The hypothetical shelter seeking... |
