- Abstract
Rapid degradation of the world’s coral reefs jeopardizes their ecological functioning and ultimately imperils the wellbeing of the millions of people with reef-dependent livelihoods. Ecosystem accessibility is the main driver of their conditions, with the most accessible ecosystems being most at risk of resource depletion. People’s socioeconomic conditions can change as they get further from urban centers and can profoundly influence people’s relationship with the environment. However, the mechanisms through which increasing accessibility from human societies affects natural resources are still unclear. A plausible mechanism through which markets influence the environment is through the socioeconomic changes that tend to accompany accessibility. We used social and ecological data from 10 coastal communities and 31 reefs in northwest Madagascar to (i) unravel the respective influences of the local fish market and coastal communities on reef fish biomass and (ii) investigate how communities’ socioeconomic and resource use characteristics change with increasing proximity to markets. We used generalized additive models to reveal that reef fish biomass is strongly related to the accessibility of both markets and local communities. We also highlight that the ways coastal communities use marine resources changes predictably with market proximity. More precisely, market proximity affects fishing gear (technique effect), wealth, and selling strategies (scale effect) of coastal communities. Our findings emphasize the need to better quantify links between markets and fishing communities through household-level surveys to implement market-based actions that could help to regulate the effect of markets on both fish stocks and fishing communities.

- Abstract
Determining whether many functionally complementary species or only a subset of key species are necessary to maintain ecosystem functioning and services is a critical question in community ecology and biodiversity conservation. Identifying such key species remains challenging, especially in the tropics where many species co-occur and can potentially support the same or different processes. Here, we developed a new community-wide scan (CWS) approach, analogous to the genome-wide scan, to identify fish species that significantly contribute, beyond the socio-environmental and species richness effects, to the biomass and coral cover on Indo-Pacific reefs. We found that only a limited set of species (51 out of approx. 400, approx. 13%), belonging to various functional groups and evolutionary lineages, are strongly and positively associated with fish biomass and live coral cover. Many of these species have not previously been identified as functionally important, and thus may be involved in unknown, yet important, biological mechanisms that help sustain healthy and productive coral reefs. CWS has the potential to reveal species that are key to ecosystem functioning and services and to guide management strategies as well as new experiments to decipher underlying causal ecological processes. © 2018 The Author(s).

La Directive 2000/60/CE du Parlement Européen et du Conseil du 23 octobre 2000 impose aux Etats membres de contrôler tous les éléments de qualité biologique, physico-chimique et hydromorphologique des masses d’eau entrant dans le programme de surveillance. Les peuplements ichtyologiques sont un des descripteurs biologiques retenus dans l’annexe V de la Directive pour les eaux de transition. Pour pouvoir évaluer l’état de cet élément de qualité dans les eaux de transition, le Ministère a confié à Irstea (anciennement Cemagref) de Bordeaux, dans le cadre du projet LITEAU II, la mise au point d’un indicateur « poisson ». Une première étape d’inventaires piscicoles de terrain, conduite par Irstea et financée/pilotée par l’Agence de l’Eau RM&C, a été réalisée sur treize masses d’eau méditerranéennes de transition en 2006. En 2010-2011, une nouvelle campagne d’échantillonnage a été menée par l’Ifremer. Les résultats sont présentés dans ce rapport.

The biology and the behaviour of fish populations in hypersaline environments are poorly known. The habitat occupation strategy of the tilapia Sarotherodon melanotheron has been studied along a salinity gradient in the Saloum hypersaline estuary in Senegal ( salinity between 32 and 100). The individual migratory behaviour has been analysed from otolith strontium-to-calcium concentration ratios from fish sampled in five locations during the 2003 wet season and the 2004 dry season. In the upper part of the estuary ( salinities > 50), the Sr: Ca ratio in the otolith showed high variations, from 2.51 to 33.30 x 10(-3). These maximum observed values have never been reported in the literature. The individual mean of Sr: Ca ratios increased according to the salinity gradient in the estuary, with significantly higher values in the upper part ( Sr: Ca mean = 16 x 10(-3)) than in the lower part ( salinity < 50, Sr: Ca mean = 12 x 10(-3)). No significant difference in the Sr: Ca mean was observed between locations with comparable salinities. Sr concentration in the water at the different locations was positively correlated with ambient salinity. The mean of Sr: Ca in the otoliths was then in relationship with the level of Sr in the water. Thus, the Sr: Ca ratios in the otolith of S. melanotheron allowed to discriminate the populations of this species and to hypothesize that they did not undertake large scale movements within the estuary.

Fish communities from two lagoon ecosystems, Ria Formosa (Portugal) and Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin (Guadeloupe), show interesting similarities of spatial and temporal organization. On the temporal scale, three community changes are observed in both systems, corresponding to massive arrivals and/or departures of migratory species. However, these migrations are more conspicuous in the Ria Formosa than in the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin. On a spatial scale, the community structure is also largely determined by migratory species, whose abundance is a factor of homogenization. This is clearly observed in Ria Formosa, where the lagoon selection applies on a regional scale. Conversely, the community of sedentary fish identifies remarkable stations affected by chronic aggressions such as tourism or pollution. An explicative analysis, comprising a discriminant analysis and multiple regressions was realized on the data collected in the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin. This analysis made it possible to determine the important environmental descriptors in the two complementary processes involved in recruitment: migrant availability, which determines the temporal organization of the fish assemblage. These migrations are explained by water temperature and salinity, two descriptors controlled by climatic conditions; the settlement process, which determines the spatial organization of the fish assemblage. This is explained by habitat descriptors such as visibility and turtlegrass blade length, or trophic descriptors, such as primary production, zooplankton density or nitrate concentration.

Daily growth increments in otoliths of juvenile Megalops atlanticus, were validated by injection of oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC) while in the mangrove zone of Boquerón Bay, Puerto Rico. Peritoneal and intra-muscular injection of OTC at 100 mg kg−1 doses were successful in marking otoliths of juvenile tarpon which ranged from 39–133 mm in standard length (SL). The growth rate estimated from SL–age regression, suggested a growth rate of 0.92±0.03 (s.e.) mm day−1. At estuarine arrival, tarpon leptocephali were estimated to have a mean age of 33.7±0.3 d (n=182), with most larvae being in their second stage of metamorphosis. The young age at arrival supports the hypothesis that tarpon spawning grounds occur relatively close to the Puerto Rican shore. Back-calculated hatching dates from tarpon otolith microstructure suggests a long spawning season in Puerto Rico with two annual peaks, one occurring in springtime (March–May) and another in late summer (July–September).

- Abstract
Thau lagoon is a large Mediterranean coastal lagoons and it supports traditional shellfish farming activities. It has been subject to eutrophication leading to major anoxic events associated with massive mortalities of shellfish stocks. Since the 1970s, improvements have been made to wastewater treatment systems, which have gradually led to oligotrophication of the lagoon. The aim of our study was to determine how the decrease in nutrient inputs resulted in major ecological changes in Thau lagoon, by analysing five decades of time-series (1970-2018) of observations on pelagic and benthic autotrophic communities. We were able to identify two periods during the oligotrophication process. Period 1 (1970-1992) was considered a eutrophic period, characterised by the shift from seagrass dominance to dominance of red macroalgae. Period 2 (1993-2018), characterised by improved eutrophication status, was further divided into three: a transition phase (1993-2003) during which the water column continued to recover but the benthic community lagged behind in recovery and in partial resilience; a regime shift (2003-2006), after which the water column became oligotrophic and seagrass began to recover (2007-2018). Considering anoxia crises as indicators of ecosystem resilience and resistance, we used a generalised linear model to analyse meteorological and environmental data with the aim of identifying the triggers of summer anoxia over the study period. Among the meteorological variables studied, air temperature had the strongest positive effect, followed by the period and wind intensity (both negative effects) and by rainfall in July (positive effect). The risk of triggering anoxia was lower in period 2, evidence for the increasing resistance of the ecosystem to climatic stress throughout the oligotrophication process. At the ecosystem scale and in the long term perspective, the ecological gains related to oligotrophication are especially important in the context of climate change, with more frequent and severe heat waves predicted., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

- Abstract
Considering the ecological importance and potential value of Hediste diversicolor , a better understanding of its metabolic rate and potential growth rates is required. The aims of this study are: (i) to describe key biometric relationships; (ii) to test the effects of temperature and body size on standard metabolic rate (as measure by oxygen consumption) to determine critical parameters, namely Arrhenius temperature ( T
A ), allometric coefficient ( b ) and reaction rate; and (iii) to determine the metabolic scope for activity (MSA) of H. diversicolor for further comparison with published specific growth rates. Individuals were collected in a Mediterranean lagoon (France). After 10 days of acclimatization, 7 days at a fixed temperature and 24 h of fasting, resting oxygen consumption rates (VO2 ) were individually measured in the dark at four different temperatures (11, 17, 22 and 27 °C) in worms weighing from 4 to 94 mgDW ( n = 27 per temperature). Results showed that DW and L3 were the most accurate measurements of weight and length, respectively, among all the metrics tested. Conversion of WW (mg), DW (mg) and L3 (mm) were quantified with the following equations: DW = 0.15 × WW, L3 = 0.025 × TL(mm) + 1.44 and DW = 0.8 × L33.68 . Using an equation based on temperature and allometric effects, the allometric coefficient ( b ) was estimated at 0.8 for DW and at 2.83 for L3. The reaction rate ( VO2 ) equaled to 12.33 µmol gDW-1 h-1 and 0.05 µmol mm L3-1 h-1 at the reference temperature (20 °C, 293.15 K). Arrhenius temperature ( TA ) was 5,707 and 5,664 K (for DW and L3, respectively). Metabolic scope for activity ranged from 120.1 to 627.6 J gDW-1 d-1 . Predicted maximum growth rate increased with temperature, with expected values of 7-10% in the range of 15-20 °C. MSA was then used to evaluate specific growth rates (SGR) in several experiments. This paper may be used as a reference and could have interesting applications in the fields of aquaculture, ecology and biogeochemical processes., Competing Interests: The authors declare there are no competing interests.- Published

- Abstract
Determining whether many functionally complementary species or only a subset of key species are necessary to maintain ecosystem functioning and services is a critical question in community ecology and biodiversity conservation. Identifying such key species remains challenging, especially in the tropics where many species co-occur and can potentially support the same or different processes. Here, we developed a new community-wide scan (CWS) approach, analogous to the genome-wide scan, to identify fish species that significantly contribute, beyond the socio-environmental and species richness effects, to the biomass and coral cover on Indo-Pacific reefs. We found that only a limited set of species (51 out of approx. 400, approx. 13%), belonging to various functional groups and evolutionary lineages, are strongly and positively associated with fish biomass and live coral cover. Many of these species have not previously been identified as functionally important, and thus may be involved in unknown, yet important, biological mechanisms that help sustain healthy and productive coral reefs. CWS has the potential to reveal species that are key to ecosystem functioning and services and to guide management strategies as well as new experiments to decipher underlying causal ecological processes., (© 2018 The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Acute uranium toxicity (48 h immobilisation test) for Daphnia magna was determined in two different exposure media, differing in pH and alkalinity. LC(50) varied strongly between media, from 390+/-40 microgL(-1)U at pH 7 to 7.8+/-3.2 mgL(-1)U at pH 8. According to the free ion activity model uranium toxicity varies as a function of free uranyl concentration. This assumption was examined by calculating uranium speciation in our water conditions and in those reported in the literature. Predicted changes in free uranyl concentration could not solely explain observed differences in toxicity, which might be due to a competition or a non-competitive inhibition of H(+) for uranium transport and/or the involvement of other bioavailable chemical species of uranium. Chronic effects of uranium at pH 7 on mortality, ingestion and respiration, fecundity and dry mass of females, eggs and neonates were investigated during 21-day exposure experiments. A mortality of 10% was observed at 100 microgL(-1)U and EC(10) for reproduction was 14+/-7 microgL(-1)U. Scope for growth was affected through a reduction in feeding activity and an increase in oxygen consumption at 25 microgL(-1)U after 7 days of exposure. This had strong consequences for somatic growth and reproduction, which decreased, respectively, by 50% and 65% at 50 microgL(-1)U after 7 days and at 25 microgL(-1)U after 21 days. Uranium bioaccumulation was quantified and associated internal alpha dose rates from 2.1 to 13 microGyh(-1) were estimated. Compared to the toxicity of other alpha-emitting radionuclides and stable trace metals, our results confirmed the general assumption that uranium chemical toxicity predominates over its radiotoxicity.
