![]() | Combined effect of exposure to ammonia and hypoxia on the blue shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris survival and physiological response in relation to molt stage Auteur(s) : Mugnier, Chantal Zipper, Etienne Goarant, Cyrille Lemonnier, Hugues Éditeur(s) : Elsevier Résumé : The effect of ambient ammonia, hypoxia and combination of both on survival and the physiological and immunological response of the blue shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris in relation to molt stage was studied. Shrimp were submitted to 44.0-71.5 mg 1(-1) total ammonia-N corresponding to 2.0 mg 1(-1) unionized ammonia NH3-N and/or to 1.5 mg O-2 1(-1) (4.3 kPa) for 24 hours. Survival was recorded and the molt stages of both dead and surviving shrimp determined. Only shrimp in intermolt and premolt stages were sampled for analysis of haemolymph. Haemolymph was assayed for osmoregulatory capacity (OC), magnesium ion (Mg2+), calcium ion (Ca2+), total proteins, oxyhaemocyanin, lactate, glucose and total haemocyte count (THC). Low mortalities were recorded for shrimp submitted independently to ammonia or hypoxia. Seventy five percent of dead shrimp were in early post molt (stage A) in ammonia treatment, while hypoxia affected mainly late premolt animals (stage D-2). A synergic effect of ammonia and hypoxia combination (A+ O-2 treatment) on mortality was observed, affecting nearly exclusively shrimp in late premolt stage D-2. Analysis of molt stage repartition at the end of the experiment suggests that ammonia treatment may have accelerated molting. The common physiological response of shrimp to the different treatments was characterized by a reduced OC and an increase in Ca2+. Increase in Mg2+ could not be validated by the statistical analysis, as well as glycaemia variations. Plasmatic lactate level increased and THC decreased in shrimp submitted to hypoxia and the combination of hypoxia and ammonia. Total proteins concentration was reduced in ammonia and A+O-2 treatments. The effect was more pronounced in late premolt shrimp than in intermolt shrimp. Combination of ammonia and hypoxia led to a physiological response stronger than this observed for ammonia-alone and/or hypoxia-alone treatments, except for oxyhaemocyanin. The effects of each external factor (ammonia, hypoxia) and the combination of both, and internal one (molt stage) are discussed. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.

![]() | Toxic factors of Vibrio strains pathogenic to shrimp Auteur(s) : Goarant, Cyrille Herlin, Jose Brizard, Raphael Marteau, Anne-laure Martin, C Martin, B Éditeur(s) : Inter-research Résumé : Vibriosis is a major disease problem in shrimp aquaculture. 'Syndrome 93' is a seasonal juvenile vibriosis caused by Vibrio penaeicida which affects Litopenaeus stylirostris in grow-out ponds in New Caledonia. This study assessed the toxic activities of extracellular products (ECPs) from V: penaeicida, V. alginolyticus and V, nigripulchritudo using in vivo injections in healthy juvenile L. stylirostris (= Penaeus stylirostris) and in vitro assays on shrimp primary cell cultures and the fish cell line epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC). Toxic effects of ECPs were demonstrated for all pathogenic Vibrio strains tested both in vivo and in vitro, but for shrimp only; no effect was observed on the fish cell line. ECP toxicity for New Caledonian V. penaeicida was found only after cultivation at low temperature (20 degrees C) and not at higher temperature (30 degrees C). This points to the fact that 'Syndrome 93' episodes are triggered by temperature drops. The assays used here demonstrate the usefulness of primary shrimp cell cultures to study virulence mechanisms of shrimp pathogenic bacteria.

![]() | Cross breeding of different domesticated lines as a simple way for genetic improvement in small aquaculture industries: Heterosis and inbreeding effects on growth and survival rates of the Pacific blue shrimp Penaeus (Litopenaeus) stylirostris Auteur(s) : Goyard, Emmanuel Goarant, Cyrille Ansquer, Dominique Brun, Pierre De Decker, Sophie Dufour, Robert Galinie, C Peignon, Jean-marie Éditeur(s) : Elsevier Résumé : Two populations of the Latin American shrimp Penaeus (Litopenaeus)stylirostris domesticated in Hawaii and in New Caledonia were previously shown to be genetically differentiated and proven highly inbred. In New Caledonia, where different Vibriosis affect shrimp production and antibiotic use is banned in growing ponds, the Hawaiian population was introduced to increase the allelic variability available for local shrimp farmers and start a genetic improvement program. Growth and survival rates of the two pure populations and the two-way F-1-hybrids obtained by breeding Hawaiian animals with New Caledonian animals were assessed in several simple experiments (earthen ponds, floating cages and experimental infection challenges) during two years on two successive generations. Results were very consistent: F-1-hybrids growth rates in earthen ponds were 37% (+/-7% SD) higher than for pure populations. Cage experiments demonstrated no competition between the different populations when reared together or separately in a common environment. The F-1-hybrids also showed better survival rates in all experiments. Combining the results on growth and survival rates leads to the conclusion that biomass production is much higher with F-1-hybrid populations than with pure populations using the same quantity of juveniles stocked: biomass production in ponds was increased 1.4 and 2.3 times on year I and year 2 respectively, and 1.9 times in floating cages. The advantage of growing F-1-hybrids appeared proportionally higher when environmental and sanitary conditions led to poorer survival (34% in year 2 vs. 56% in year 1). These results are a good example of performance improvement by heterosis effect and/or of performance loss due to inbreeding in the pure populations. This study demonstrates that aquaculture industries which cannot afford large selection programs may benefit from using two different inbred parental stocks to produce F-1-hybrids for each commercial growout. This is notably true when only inbred populations are available, or when introduction of genetic variability from the wild or from other genetic resources represents a zoo-sanitary risk. In our case, the expected increase in L stylirostris production could be around 85% (according to our average results) if producers keep stocking their ponds at their current densities using F-1-hybrids. However, for sustainability reasons, it is advisable to stock F-1-hybrid animals at lower densities, the gain in performance allowing producing the same amount of biomass with less input.

Using sequence polymorphisms evidenced in this previous MultiLocus Sequence Typing study, we developed two new quantitative PCR assays permitting the detection and quantification of V. nigripulchritudo at the genospecies level using SYBR Green I chemistry and at the emerging cluster level using Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer technology with hybridization probes. The use of this molecular diagnostic tool evidenced the colonization of the shrimp pond ecosystem by the pathogenic cluster at least at the onset of the disease. This new tool will allow better investigation of the dynamics of this bacterial pathogen in the shrimp farm ecosystem. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

![]() | Virulence of an emerging pathogenic lineage of Vibrio nigripulchritudo is dependent on two plasmids Auteur(s) : Le Roux, Frederique Labreuche, Yannick Davis, Brigid M. Iqbal, Naeem Mangenot, Sophie Goarant, Cyrille Mazel, Didier Waldor, Matthew K. Éditeur(s) : Wiley-blackwell Publishing, Inc Résumé : Vibrioses are the predominant bacterial infections in marine shrimp farms. Vibrio nigripulchritudo is an emerging pathogen of the cultured shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris in New Caledonia and other regions in the Indo-Pacific. The molecular determinants of V. nigripulchritudo pathogenicity are unknown; however, molecular epidemiological studies have revealed that recent pathogenic V. nigripulchritudo isolates from New Caledonia all cluster into a monophyletic clade and contain a small plasmid, pB1067. Here, we report that a large plasmid, pA1066 (247 kb), can also serve as a marker for virulent V. nigripulchritudo, and that an ancestral version of this plasmid was likely acquired prior to other virulence-linked markers. Additionally, we demonstrate that pA1066 is critical for the full virulence of V. nigripulchritudo in several newly developed experimental models of infection. Plasmid pB1067 also contributes to virulence; only strains containing both plasmids induced the highest level of shrimp mortality. Thus, it appears that these plasmids, which are absent from non-pathogenic isolates, may be driving forces, as well as markers, for the emergence of a pathogenic lineage of V. nigripulchritudo.

![]() | Amélioration génétique pour la résistance au Syndrome 93 : bilan de 5 générations de sélection expérimentale Auteur(s) : Goyard, Emmanuel Ansquer, Dominique Brun, Pierre De Decker, Sophie Dufour, Robert Goarant, Cyril Patrois, Jacques Peignon, Jean Résumé : Selective breeding of shrimp for viral resistance is established for species like L. vannamei and L. stylirostris. However, selection for bacterial infection resistance is not documented. In New Caledonia, "Syndrome 93" is a vibriosis that affects cultured shrimps during the cool season with survival from 15 to 30%.
Current practises for breeders rearing at low densities do not improve the resistance of the offsprings mainly because selection pressures for "Syndrome 93" are low. Even after the fifth generation, survival improvement is not significant. La sélection génétique de lignées de crevettes résistantes à certains virus a démontré son efficacité en particulier chez L. vannamei et L. stylirostris. En revanche, la sélection de crevettes résistantes à une bactérie du genre Vibrio est peu documentée. En Nouvelle-Calédonie, le « Syndrome 93 », vibriose à V. penaeicida, affecte toutes les fermes de crevettes L. stylirostris lors des élevages de saison fraîche. Les survies en bassins de grossissement, de l’ordre de 40 à 60% dans un élevage sain, tombent à des valeurs de 15 à 30%. L’élevage de géniteurs à faible densité, s’il maximise les performances de reproduction, ne semble pas optimiser la qualité de la descendance du fait des faibles pressions de sélection qui s’exercent vis-à-vis du syndrome 93. Les améliorations significatives du nombre d’animaux survivant aux infections et aux épisodes de mortalité en bassin restent faibles en valeur absolue à la 5ème génération de sélection expérimentale en conditions d’élevage, mais sur le long terme la stratégie testée pourrait se révéler économiquement efficace.

![]() | Arbitrarily primed PCR to type Vibrio spp. Pathogenic for shrimp Auteur(s) : Goarant, Cyrille Merien, F Berthe, Franck Mermoud, I Perolat, P Éditeur(s) : Amer Soc Microbiology Résumé : A molecular typing study on Vibrio strains implicated in shrimp disease outbreaks in New Caledonia and Japan was conducted by using AP-PCR (arbitrarily primed PCR). It allowed rapid identification of isolates at the genospecies level and studies of infraspecific population structures of epidemiological interest. Clusters identified within the species Vibrio penaeicida were related to their area of origin, allowing discrimination between Japanese and New Caledonian isolates, as well as between those from two different bays in New Caledonia separated by only 50 km. Other subclusters of New Caledonian V. penaeicida isolates could be identified, but it was not possible to link those differences to accurate epidemiological features. This contribution of AP-PCR to the study of vibriosis in penaeid shrimps demonstrates its high discriminating power and the relevance of the epidemiological information provided. This approach would contribute to better knowledge of the ecology of Vibrio spp. and their implication in shrimp disease in aquaculture.

![]() | Amélioration génétique expérimentale de la crevette d'élevage de Nouvelle-Calédonie : Sélection d'une population de L. stylirostris résistante à la bactérie pathogène Vibrio penaeicida. Rapport final pour le Ministère de l'Outre-Mer Auteur(s) : Goyard, Emmanuel Goarant, Cyrille Bachere, Evelyne De Lorgeril, Julien Mugnier, Chantal Ansquer, Dominique Broutoi, Francis Brun, Pierre Résumé : The New-Caledonian shrimp industry is based on the controlled reproduction of the shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris, a species which was introduced in the 80s. The major difficulty to which the industry has been faced for 10 years is the occurrence of the "syndrome 93", which corresponds to mortality phases when the temperature falls down in April-May-June. This mortality is associated to the pathogenic bacteria Vibrio penaecida and is expressed at different levels which are variable from year ta year and from pond to pond. No resistance to this pathology has been developed spontaneously. This is likely due to the protocole used to rear spawners, which does not allow to implement an efficient selective pressure at each generation
An experimental selection on the criteria of survival after picks of syndrome 93 has been conducted at the Laboratoire Aquacole de Calédonie. The 3rd selected generation demonstrates survival rates improved by 20% during experimental infections with V. penaeicida in comparison with a non selected control population of same genetic origin. The comparison of the correlated responses on the level of expression of 5 genes which are potentially implicated in immunity phenomena (Peneidins, lysozyme, transglutaminase. profiline, annexine) shows that the selected population has a level of expression in lyzozyme twice higher than the control population. This result suggests that the lysozyme could be a genetic marker which could be used in a selective breeding program to he developed in relation with the private hatcheries. La filière crevette de Nouvelle-Calédonie repose sur la maîtrise de la reproduction contrôlée de la crevette Litopenaeus stylirostris, espèce introduite dans les années 80. La difficulté majeure que rencontre la filière depuis une dizaine d'années est la récurrence du « syndrome 93 », qui correspond à des épisodes de mortalités lors des baisses de température en avril-mai-juin. Ces mortalités sont associées à la bactérie pathogène Vibrio penaeicida et s'expriment à des niveaux d'intensité variable d'une année à l'autre et d'un bassin à l'autre. Aucune résistance vis-à-vis de cette pathologie ne s'est développée spontanément. Ceci est vraisemblablement lié au protocole employé pour l'élevage des géniteurs qui ne permet pas d'exercer une pression de sélection efficace à chaque génération. Une expérience de sélection sur un critère de survie à des épisodes de syndrome 93 a été menée au Laboratoire Aquacole de Calédonie. La 3ème génération sélectionnée montre des survies améliorées de l'ordre de 20% lors d'infections expérimentales à V. penaeicida par rapport à une population témoin non sélectionnée de même origine génétique. La comparaison des réponses corrélées sur le niveau d'expression de 5 gènes potentiellement impliqués dans les phénomènes de défense immunitaire (penaeidine, lysozyme, transglutaminase, profiline, annexine) montre que la population sélectionnée a un niveau d'expression en lysozyme deux fois plus élevé que la population témoin. Ce résultat suggère que le lysozyme pourrait être un marqueur génétique utilisable dans un programme de sélection à développer en relation avec les écloseries de production.

The occurrence of these lesions was neither associated with mortality, nor with histological evidence of white spot syndrome baculovirus (WSBV), The evidence suggests that these lesions result from a form of bacterial disease and are associated with an increased bacterial flora on the outer surface of the cuticle, as well as an increased incidence throughout the molt cycle.

![]() | Typage moléculaire en AP-PCR des souches de Vibrio spp. isolées des épisodes de mortalité du Syndrome 93. Perspectives de lutte et conseil de gestion zoosanitaires déduits Auteur(s) : Goarant, Cyrille Résumé : Une étude de typage moléculaire par AP-PCR de souches de Vibrio impliqués dans des épisodes de mortalité d'élevages de crevettes en Nouvelle-Calédonie (Syndrome 93) et au Japon a été réalisée fin 1996 avec le concours de l' Institut Pasteur de Nouvelle-Calédonie. Elle nous a permis une identification rapide des isolats en terme de génospecies ainsi que des discriminations d' intérêt épidémiologique entre les isolats du génospecies majoritaire. Ainsi, des sous-groupes ont été identifiés au sein de l' espéce majoritaire : V. penaeicida. Certains de ces sous-groupes correspondent à des topotypes et permettent de discriminer les isolats du Japon de ceux de Nouvelle-Calédonie, ainsi que ceux de deux baies différentes de Nouvelle Calédonie, distinctes de 50 km seulement. D'autres sous-groupes ont pu être identifiés au sein de l' un des topotypes calédoniens, sans qu'il soit possible de l'expliquer par des éléments épidémiologiques. L' analyse des géotypes et des données zootechniques permettent de qualifier cette vibriose de maladie hydrique, c'est à dire dont le pathogène est véhiculé par l'eau. Des recommandations d' ordre zoosanitaires en sont déduites, qui tendent principalement à limiter les transferts d'animaux entre les différents sites d'élevage. Cette technique d'AP-PCR est utilisée pour la première fois dans l'étude épidémiologique d' une vibriose de crevettes.

March 2 - 6, 2009 Tahiti, French Polynesia Résumé : New Caledonian shrimp farming feasibility studies started in the mid-seventies. Today ca. 2000 tons of Litopenaeus stylirostris, introduced in 1978, are semi-intensively produced each year. Since fifteen years, production has been impacted by two seasonal vibriosis, the “Summer” syndrome caused by Vibrio nigripulchritudo in relation to pond bottom and water column quality, and the “Winter Syndrome” caused by Vibrio penaeicida in relation to drastic temperature drops . With the ambition of elucidating processes possibly leading to mortality outbreaks in ponds, Ifremer has been conducting a research program since 2003 under the DESANS project (2003-2006) and the present DEDUCTION project, equally funded by the South and North Provinces and by the Government of New Caledonia. This program has been designed in a multidisciplinary approach integrating the suspected multifactorial origin of shrimp mortalities. Environment quality in ponds (either sediment or water column) plays a major role in the shrimp ecophysiological status, influencing sensitivity to pathogens . DEDUCTION focuses on a better knowledge of phytoplankton composition and biogeochemical fluxes at the sediment-water interface in ponds. Impact of farm discharges is also investigated. In addition, a more fundamental work is conducted to understand the pathogenicity mechanisms of these two Vibrio species but also to prevent the occurrence of viral infections through a RNA interference approach. Markers of the ecophysiological status of broodstock, larvae, post-larvae and reared animals, such as enzymes testifying from an oxidative stress, are developed. Gain of performance (resistance to pathogens and growth) were obtained on hybrids of the New Caledonian and introduced Hawaiian strains. Finally the database Stylog is exploited in view of discriminating “good” from “bad” rearings on the basis of relevant indicators. Les études de faisabilité de l'aquaculture de crevettes ont débuté en Nouvelle-Calédonie dans les années soixante dix. Aujourd'hui environ 2000 tonnes de Litopenaeus stylirostris, introduite en 1978, sont produites chaque année de façon semi-intensive. Depuis quinze ans la production a été impactée par deux vibrioses : le syndrome d'été provoqué par Vibrio nigripulchritudo en relation avec la qualité de la tranche d'eau et des fonds de bassins et le syndrome d'hiver provoqué par Vibrio penaeicida en relation avec des chutes rapides de température. Dans le but d'élucider les processus entrainant des mortalités dans les élevages, Ifremer a conduit un programme de recherche depuis 2003 dans le cadre du projet DESANS (2003-2006) puis du présent projet DEDUCTION co-financé par les provinces Nord et Sud et le Gouvernement de la Nouvelle-Calédonie. Ce programme se construit dans une démarche multidisciplinaire intégrant les origines supposées multifactorielles des mortalités de crevettes. La qualité environnementale dans les bassins (les fonds et la colonne d'eau) joue un rôle majeur dans l'état physiologique des animaux, influençant leur sensibilité aux pathogènes. DEDUCTION se focalise sur une meilleure compréhension de la composition phytoplanctonique et des flux bio-géochimiques à l'interface eau/sédiment dans les bassins.L'impact des rejets des fermes est également étudié. En outre, un travail plus fondamental est conduit pour connaître les mécanismes de pathogénicité de ces deux espèces de Vibrio mais aussi pour prévenir les occurences d'infections virales par des approches ARN Interférence. Des marqueurs de l'état physiologique des oeufs, larves, post-larves et animaux en élevage, tels que les enzymes du stress oxydant sont utilisés.Les gains de performance (résistance aux pathogènes et croissance) sont obtenus sur des hybrides issus du croisement de la souche locale avec une souche hawaienne. Finalement la base de données STYLOG est exploitée dans le but de distinguer les bonnes des mauvaises pratiques sur la base d'indicateurs fiables.

![]() | Genetic improvement strategy in small aquaculture industries : the new caledonian shrimp experience Auteur(s) : Goyard, Emmanuel Goarant, Cyrille Brun, Pierre Herlin, Jose Pham, Dominique Beliaeff, Benoit Harache, Yves Loubersac, Lionel Éditeur(s) : PSIC 11 - 11th Pacific Science Inter-Congress : Pacific Countries and their Ocean: Facing Local and Global Changes / 2nd Symposium on French Research in the Pacific. March 2 - 6, 2009 Tahiti, French Polynesia Résumé : Shrimp farming in New Caledonia relies on the culture of a domesticated strain of Litopenaeus stylirostris introduced from Mexico at a time when genetic principles were of little or no consideration. Since then, advances in agriculture and for some aquatic species of importance led caledonian shrimp farmers to reconsider the appropriateness of a genetic improvement strategy adapted to local biotechnical and economical constraints. This questioning involves many different and interrelated aspects: scientific and technologic (genetics, biosecurity, quarantine, ), economic and organizational (financing, diffusion of genetic improvement) and pedagogic (awareness of farmers). Local institutions, producers associations, research centre and sanitary services associated to carry on the test of a first improvement strategy based on the crossing of different strains of L. stylirostris. This conceptually simple approach aimed at eliminating inbreeding, the first genetic limitating factor of improvement in captive populations. A second domesticated strain was obtained from Hawaii by the caledonian farmers, imported through a quarantine under the control of the zoosanitary local authorities, and reproduced and tested as pure or crossbred stocks by Ifremer within the framework of an interdisciplinary research project financed by caledonian institutions. Present results for hybrids (better growth and survival in the absence of virus) demonstrate the validity of this approach. They also bring out the importance to simultaneously integrate in a development scheme, a breeding centre to maintain and reproduce disease free breeders. This strategy and organization, tested in New Caledonia, could possibly be of benefit to other small scale aquaculture activities in the pacific islands. La filière crevetticole de Nouvelle-Calédonie s’est développée jusqu’à aujourd’hui à partir d’un stock domestiqué de Litopenaeus stylirostris introduit d’Amérique à une époque où les principes de base en génétique n’étaient pas ou peu appliqués en aquaculture. Les avancées récentes en agriculture et chez quelques espèces aquacoles d’importance mondiale ont conduit les acteurs de cette filière à se poser la question de la mise en place d’une stratégie d’amélioration génétique adaptée aux contraintes biotechniques et économiques locales. Cette réflexion comportait à la fois des aspects scientifiques et technologiques (génétique, biosécurité, quarantaine, conservatoire), économiques et organisationnels (coût de l’opération, modalité de diffusion du progrès attendu), pédagogiques (sensibilisation des fermiers). Des acteurs d’horizons différents (institutions locales, association de producteurs, centre de recherche, police zoosanitaire) se sont associés pour monter une opération de testage d’une première stratégie d’amélioration par croisement de souches de la même espèce. Cette stratégie conceptuellement simple visait l’élimination du premier facteur génétique de limitation des performances d’élevage d’une population captive, à savoir une consanguinité d’autant plus élevée que le nombre de géniteurs fondateurs était faible. Une seconde souche domestiquée a ainsi été acquise à Hawaii par les producteurs calédoniens, contrôlée en quarantaine par les services vétérinaires calédoniens en charge de la réglementation sanitaire, reproduite et testée pure et en croisement par l’Ifremer dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche pluridisciplinaire plus large financé par les institutions du Pays. Les résultats obtenus démontrent l’intérêt de la démarche (meilleure croissance, meilleure survie en l’absence de virus). Mais ils montrent aussi l’utilité d’intégrer simultanément dans le plan de développement de la filière une stratégie de conservation des souches parentales afin de disposer de géniteurs exempts de pathogènes. Cette stratégie et cette organisation testées en Nouvelle-Calédonie pourraient vraisemblablement être profitables à d’autres filières aquacoles modestes, en particulier dans les pays insulaires du Pacifique.

![]() | Quantification of Vibrio penaeicida, the etiological agent of Syndrome 93 in New Caledonian shrimp, by real-time PCR using SYBR Green I chemistry Auteur(s) : Goarant, Cyrille Merien, F Éditeur(s) : Elsevier Résumé : Shrimp farming is a small but growing industry in New Caledonia. Since 1993, "Syndrome 93" has been affecting New Caledonian shrimp farming industry every cold season, causing severe epizootic mortalities in grow-out ponds and significant losses. Highly pathogenic strains of Vibrio penaeicida are considered the etiological agent of the disease in Litopenaeus stylirostris. On one hand, studies demonstrated that healthy shrimp may carry V penaeicida for weeks with a high overall prevalence, regardless of any seasonal pattern or temperature conditions. On the other hand, larvae are free of V penaeicida and are also resistant to experimental infection. V penaeicida is frequently detected in incoming water pumped from the bays, which was shown, by a molecular typing study, to be the infectious source. This particular epidemiological pattern highlights the major role of the factors that trigger and aggravate the disease in grow-out ponds, where shrimp populations carry the pathogen all year round. In order to gain a better understanding of "Syndrome 93" epidemiology, quantification of V penaeicida both in shrimp and the shrimp farm ecosystem is necessary. This article describes the steps in the successful development of a real-time PCR quantification assay of V penaeicida in shrimp haemolymph, seawater (from ponds or bays) and sediment pore water, including the choice of an accurate extraction technique. The entire detection method; including sample processing, DNA extraction and real-time PCR amplification, can be completed within 4 h. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.

![]() | Biological, physiological, immunological and nutritional assessment of farm-reared Litopenaeus stylirostris shrimp affected or unaffected by vibriosis Auteur(s) : Mugnier, Chantal Justou, Carole Lemonnier, Hugues Patrois, Jacques Ansquer, Dominique Goarant, Cyrille Le Coz, Jean-rene Éditeur(s) : Elsevier Science Bv Résumé : Shrimp aquaculture in New Caledonia is subject to seasonal mortalities during grow-out due to highly virulent Vibrio nigripulchritudo (Vn). To understand the mechanisms affecting shrimp resistance and leading to significant mortality, a shrimp ecophysiology and immunology survey was conducted on two farms, the first considered as a "control" farm (HC), the second affected by the disease (DF). Mortality observed during the survey at DF started 50 days after stocking and was typical of this disease. The main observations regarding shrimp were: (a) growth was not affected by the disease and was faster in the DF than in the HC pond; (b) disease did not affect one sex more than the other, or a specific part of the population in terms of weight; (c) the physical condition of shrimp did not specifically allow us to foresee disease outbreak; (d) shrimp at late premolt stage D-2 and early postmolt stage A appeared to be at some points of the mortalities - but not continuously - the most sensitive to disease; (e) physiological, immunological and nutritional parameters of uninfected shrimp in the DF pond were altered, suggesting that environmental stress occurred just before the first mortalities; (f) data suggest that Vn-infected shrimp are more stressed than the presumed healthy shrimp. Combined with pathological and environmental knowledge gained in parallel during this survey, a conceptual model is proposed. Results suggest that an unstable environment induced conditions (i) stressful for the shrimp, increasing their susceptibility to bacterial infections and (ii) favoring the proliferation of the pathogen in the pond. The combination of these two processes could lead to significant mortality. Aquaculture (0044-8486) (Elsevier Science Bv), 2013-04 , Vol. 388 , P. 105-114 Droits : 2013 Elsevier B.V.

![]() | Influence of sediment characteristics on shrimp physiology: pH as principal effect Auteur(s) : Lemonnier, Hugues Bernard, E Boglio, E Goarant, Cyrille Cochard, Jean-claude Éditeur(s) : Elsevier Résumé : Penaeid shrimp reared in earthen ponds are exposed to sediment, which can, in some instances, induce a stress. In seawater, the osmoregulatory capacity (hyporegulation) is a useful tool to compare the physiological condition of shrimp exposed to various stressors. By keeping some shrimp in cages at different locations of a single pond heterogeneous in terms of sediment quality, it was possible, using osmotic pressure (OP), to identify some locations where the stress was maximum and some others where it was minimum. Simultaneously, sediment samples were taken and analysed in order to evaluate some physico-chemical parameters that could be related to the stress observed in the shrimps kept in the cages. This approach allowed to show a significant positive correlation between the pH of the sediment surface and the shrimp osmotic pressure. This result was confirmed in a study carried out in experimental 70-1 tanks, where osmotic pressure decreased significantly as water pH decreased from 7.0 to 6.5. The methodology developed in this study may be useful to evaluate the stress caused by sediment in shrimp farms. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

![]() | Acquisition of susceptibility to Vibrio penaeicida in Penaeus stylirostris postlarvae and juveniles Auteur(s) : Goarant, Cyrille Regnier, France Brizard, Raphael Marteau, Anne-laure Éditeur(s) : Elsevier Résumé : Vibriosis is a major disease problem in shrimp aquaculture, affecting all developmental stages, from larvae in hatchery tanks to juveniles and broodstock in growout ponds. However, bacterial strains responsible for vibriosis in the successive stages are usually considered to be different, and virulence specificity has been reported both at the species and at the stage levels. The so-called « Syndrome 93 » is a seasonal juvenile vibriosis caused by Vibrio penaeicida which affects Penaeus stylirostris in growout ponds and broodstock tanks in New Caledonia. This pathology does not cause any mortality in hatchery or nursery phases. An experimental infection design using balneation of postlarvae and early juveniles in V. penaeicida suspensions was used to evaluate the developmental stage at which shrimp become sensitive to this vibriosis. We demonstrated that the acquisition of susceptibility to this pathogen is very sudden and correlated with the acquisition of the definitive rostral formula, and from this draw conclusions regarding virulence mechanisms of V. penaeicida in P. stylirostris.

![]() | A relationship between antimicrobial peptide gene expression and capacity of a selected shrimp line to survive a Vibrio infection Auteur(s) : De Lorgeril, Julien Gueguen, Yannick Goarant, Cyrille Goyard, Emmanuel Mugnier, Chantal Fievet, Julie Piquemal, D Bachere, Evelyne Éditeur(s) : Elsevier Résumé : Understanding of antimicrobial defence mechanisms of penaeid shrimp should help in the design of efficient strategies for the management and disease control in aquaculture. In this study, we have specifically analysed the expression in circulating hemocytes of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) encoding genes, such as PEN2 and PEN3, ALF, crustin, lysozyme and a putative cysteine-rich peptide. We evidenced a relationship between the level of expression of some AMPs and the successful response of the shrimp, Litopenaeus stylirostris, to circumvent a pathogenic Vibrio penaeicida infection. Additionally, significant differences in some AMP transcript amounts are evidenced between control, non-selected shrimp line and the third generation breeding of shrimp selected for their survival to natural V. penaeicida infections. On the basis of these results, it will now be of great interest to determine if these AMPs are directly involved in the resistance of shrimp to infection or if they only reflect other acquired defence mechanisms which can confer a resistance.

![]() | Correlation between detection of a plasmid and high-level virulence of Vibrio nigripulchritudo, a pathogen of the shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris Auteur(s) : Reynaud, Yann Saulnier, Denis Mazel, D Goarant, Cyrille Le Roux, F Éditeur(s) : American society for microbiology Résumé : Vibrio nigripulchritudo, the etiological agent of Litopenaeus stylirostris summer syndrome, is responsible for mass mortalities of shrimp in New Caledonia. Epidemiological studies led to the suggestion that this disease is caused by an emergent group of pathogenic strains. Genomic subtractive hybridization was carried out between two isolates exhibiting low and high virulence. Our subtraction library was constituted of 521 specific fragments; 55 of these were detected in all virulent isolates from our collection (n = 32), and 13 were detected only in the isolates demonstrating the highest pathogenicity (n = 19), suggesting that they could be used as genetic markers for high virulence capacity. Interestingly, 10 of these markers are carried by a replicon of 11.2 kbp that contains sequences highly similar to those of a plasmid detected in Vibrio shilonii, a coral pathogen. The detection of this plasmid was correlated with the highest pathogenicity status of the isolates from our collection. The origin and consequence of this plasmid acquisition are discussed.
