Cyanobacteria are a diverse group of Gram-negative bacteria that produce an array of secondary compounds with selective bioactivity against vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, microalgae, fungi, bacteria, viruses and cell lines. The aim of this study was to assess the toxic effects of aqueous, methanolic and hexane crude extracts of benthic and pic...

In aquatic ecosystems, invertebrate bioturbation significantly influences microbial activities and biogeochemical processes in sediments by modifying water and sediment fluxes at the water-sediment interface. We apply the concept of ecosystem engineering to develop a qualitative general understanding of the role of bioturbation on microbial process...

Recent coastal pollutions have induced local and national authorities (research institutes – IFREMER, CNES, IFEN –, decentralised state agencies) to evaluate present mapping techniques and to assess their ability to map coastal benthic habitats. Within these research programs a test site has been choosen to evaluate data from the High Spatial Resol...

We visually observed fish traps in situ to identify the habitats exploited by the U.S. Virgin Islands fishery and to document species composition and abundance in traps by habitat. Fishers set more traps in algal plains than in any other habitat around St. John. Coral reefs, traditionally targeted by fishers, accounted for only 16 % of traps. Traps...

Notre travail s'intègre dans la tendance actuelle concernant le développement durable et la gestion intégrée des zones côtières. Plus précisément, nous nous sommes intéressés aux besoins de la communauté opérationnelle dépendante du littoral, et au développement et à l'évaluation de méthodologies ad hoc. Nous proposons un ensemble de procédures et ...

The incidental capture of sea turtles by the coastal setnet fisheries in Eastern Taiwan was investigated. Five species of sea turtle were caught — in declining order of abundance, green Chelonia mydas, loggerhead Caretta caretta, hawksbill Eretmochelys imbricata, olive ridley Lepidochelys olivacea, and leatherback Dermochelys coriacea. Green, logge...
