Résumé : Correlation between DNA microsatellite heterozygosity and growth rate was investigated in two hatchery-propagated stocks of the shrimp Penaeus stylirostris, which had been genetically isolated from wild founders for 17 generations, and from each other for five more generations. presumed demographic history of these populations suggested that they were maintained at small effective population sizes. and this was confirmed by significant changes in allelic frequencies between the two stocks. Despite a small sample size (n = 60) and a small number of loci screened, a significant positive correlation was detected between microsatellite tri-locus heterozygosity and growth rate in one of the two stocks (r = 0.3, P = 0.02). In the other stock (n = 48), the positive correlation was not significant, but the combined test of single locus heterozygote advantage over the three loci was significant (P = 0.005).Use of DNA microsatellite markers, whose selectively neutral status is generally accepted, allowed us to reject the hypothesis of direct overdominance at marker loci as an explanation for an association of growth rate with heterozygosity. The average depression associated with one locus in our case is above or equivalent to the amount observed for a 10% increase of inbreeding in other species. These results suggest that heterozygosity at neutral marker loci is sufficiently well correlated with individual inbreeding coefficients to reveal a significant residual inbreeding load for growth rate in Tahitian P. stylirostris stocks. Inbreeding during hatchery propagation was, thus, insufficient to purge the ancestral load.

Résumé : International audience
We isolated and characterized 26 microsatellite loci for Macrorhynchia phoenicea (Busk, 1852), a rather common tropical hydrozoan from the Indo-Pacific. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 24. The observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.000 to 0.970 and the expected heterozygosity from 0.029 to 0.833. Ten loci were at HardyeWeinberg equilibrium. No pair of loci presented linkage disequilibrium. Transferability of up to 18 loci was positive across four other Aglaopheniidae species from different genera. These loci will be used in studying reef population connectivity for these particular species at the scale of the Indo-Pacific, a promising but little explored research field.

Résumé : International audience
With the development of genetics methods, it becomes possible to study the population structure and some aspects of the reproductive behaviour of endangered sharks. Here we describe the isolation of 20 polymorphic microsatellite markers in the bull shark Carcharhinus leucas (Carcharhinidae) and their characteristics. Two to 10 alleles per locus were detected. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.00 to 0.78 and from 0.05 to0.80, respectively. Four markers showed deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium; among them, three showed presence of null alleles. No linkage disequilibrium was detected among any of the loci. Moreover, four, 11 and 19 of these 20 markers successfully cross-amplified in the tiger shark Galeocerdo cuvier, the sandbar shark Carcharhinus plumbeus and the dusky shark Carcharhinus obscurus, respectively.

Résumé : International audience
Centropyge bispinosa is one of the most frequently coral reef fish exported through the aquarium trade. We developed fifteen microsatellite markers to evaluate possible distinct breeding stocks throughout its Indo-Pacific distribution range. Number of alleles varied from 2 to 50 per locus, observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.486 to 0.953 and 0.482 to 0.974 respectively. Significant deviations from HWE were detected in two loci. Cross-amplifications were tested in four congener species: C. loriculus, C. bicolor, C. flavissima and C. vroliki. The 15 new microsatellite loci will be helpful tools for the identification of breeding units, connectivity studies, as well as phylogenetic relationships among pygmy angelfishes.

Résumé : Isozyme markers were used to characterize levels of diversity, genotypic structure and spatial genetic structure for the low-density tree species, Carapa procera (five adults per ha), within 300 ha of a continuous tropical rain forest stand. Both seed and adult stages were investigated, a high level of genetic diversity being found in both. Fixation indices showed excess homozygosity in seeds, and excess heterozygosity in adults, which might be caused by selection in favour of heterozygotes. Autocorrelation analysis of the spatial distribution of genotypes revealed no significant pattern in adults or in seeds before dispersal, and there was a high variability in correlogram shapes among alleles. This suggests that gene flow is extensive in C. procera, probably mainly through long-distance pollen dispersal, as seed dispersal is expected to be rather limited in this species (maximum distances of about 50 m). No clear-cut spatial pattern was observed in pollen allele frequencies, which supports the hypothesis of extensive pollen flow. This overall lack of structure is consistent with the data already available on the mating system of this predominantly outcroissing species.

Résumé : Twenty homologous microsatellite markers, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), were developed for blackfin tuna (Thunnus atlanticus) through the use of a direct Seq-to-SSR approach. The number of alleles per locus ranged between 5 and 26, and the expected heterozygosity ranged between 0.640 and 0.969. Three loci displayed significant departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium expectations, likely reflecting occurrence of null alleles. Another locus showed consecutive alleles that differed by one base pair only. Consequently, this locus may be prone to elevated rates of scoring errors. The remaining 16 loci will be valuable for studies in conservation genetics of blackfin tuna.

Résumé : International audience
Microsatellite markers were developed for the coral reef fish Chaetodon vagabundus using shotgun pyrosequencing. As threats to coral reefs intensify, information on larval connectivity is of increasing value for efficient conservation planning. Here, 11 novel microsatellites were characterized for 192 individuals from Papua New Guinea. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 7 to 32, while observed and expected heterozygosity values varied from 0.214 to 0.903. These markers will be used to study population structure and larval connectivity of this iconic coral reef fish in coral reefs across the Indo-Pacific.

Résumé : The flat oyster Ostrea edulis L. is the indigenous oyster of the Atlantic as well as the Mediterranean coasts of Europe. Its commercial exploitation dates back to Antiquity but its breeding is now threatened by two parasitic protozoa, among which Bonamia ostreae. Various aspects of the genetics of this species' natural and farmed populations have been studied with the aid of microsatellite markers. At first, the implementation and the screening of two partial genomic libraries made it possible to identify 28 new microsatellite loci. Analysis of the segregation of 12 of these loci and of two enzymatic loci shows that most microsatellite loci are transmitted in a Mendelian way, but some loci have significant segregation distortions. Moreover, seven linkage groups, of which four contain at least two markers, were identified in Ostrea edulis. The genetic variability of three populations selected for one or two generations for resistance to Bonamia ostreae was analysed with the aid of 5 microsatellite loci. In spite of the absence of genealogical data, we have shown that these selected populations were descended from a very low number of founding genitors (from 3 to 15 depending on the population) and for two populations, we were able to reconstruct the genealogy and the relationships between the individuals were identified. These selected populations have, in addition to a very low genetic variability, real and at times high levels of consanguinity. These results have a significant implication for the continuation of the selection programme (consanguinity management, augmentation of genetic variability by introducing wild genitors). The geographical structuring of the genetic variability of natural populations of Ostrea edulis has been analysed with the aid of 5 microsatellite loci on a sampling covering almost the entire distribution area of the species (from Norway to the Adriatic Sea). The results are consistent with those published in the literature and using enzymatic markers. The populations show a low level of differentiation that could correspond to a model of isolation by distance. The Atlantic populations, which have a reduced polymorphism, could be descended from post-glacial recolonisation from Mediterranean populations that had survived the glaciations of the Quaternary Period. The current distribution of flat oyster populations is surely also subject to anthropogenic activities. Finally, the genetic bases of the heterozygosis-growth correlation were studied in a natural population with the aid of enzymatic and microsatellite markers. Although leads favouring the direct contribution of enzymatic loci have been found, biases in the sampling design make it impossible to come to a formal conclusion. However, this study has made it possible to show that the capture of individuals over a short period (around ten days) leads to a sampling of a population descended from a very low number of founding genitors, in contradiction with the generally accepted idea that marine bivalve populations are large panmictic populations with significant, efficient numbers. These results confirm in a natural population the observations of a significant reduction of efficient sizes in hatchery populations.
L'huître plate Ostrea edulis L. est l'huître indigène des côtes européennes aussi bien atlantiques que méditerranéennes. Son exploitation commerciale remonte à l'Antiquité mais son élevage est aujourd'hui menacé par deux protozoaires parasites dont Bonamia ostreae. Différents aspects de la génétique des populations naturelles et cultivées de cette espèce ont été étudiés à l'aide de marqueurs microsatellites. Dans un premier temps, la réalisation et le criblage de deux banques génomiques partielles ont permis l'identification de 28 nouveaux locus microsatellites. L'analyse de la ségrégation de 12 de ces locus et de deux locus enzymatiques montre que la plupart des locus microsatellites sont transmis de façon mendélienne, mais certains locus présentent des distorsions de ségrégation importantes. Par ailleurs, sept groupes de liaison dont quatre contiennent au moins deux marqueurs ont été identifiés chez Ostrea edulis. La variabilité génétique de trois populations sélectionnées depuis une ou deux générations pour une résistance à Bonamia ostreae a été analysée à l'aide de 5 locus microsatellites. Malgré l'absence de données généalogiques, nous avons montré que ces populations sélectionnées étaient issues d'un très faible nombre de géniteurs fondateurs (de 3 à 15 selon les populations) et pour deux populations, la généalogie a pu être reconstituée et les liens de parenté entre les individus ont été identifiés. Ces populations sélectionnées présentent, outre une très faible variabilité génétique, des niveaux de consanguinité réels et parfois élevés. Ces résultats ont une implication importante pour la continuation du programme de sélection (gestion de la consanguinité, augmentation de la variabilité génétique par introduction de géniteurs sauvages). La structuration géographique de la variabilité génétique des populations naturelles d'Ostrea edulis a été analysée à l'aide de 5 locus microsatellites sur un échantillonnage couvrant presque toute l'aire de répartition de l'espèce (de la Norvège à la Mer Adriatique). Les résultats sont cohérents avec ceux publiés dans la littérature et utilisant des marqueurs enzymatiques. Les populations montrent un niveau de différenciation faible qui pourrait correspondre à un modèle d'isolement par la distance. Les populations atlantiques, qui présentent un polymorphisme réduit, pourraient être issues de recolonisation post-glaciaire à partir de populations méditerranéennes ayant survécu aux glaciations du Quaternaire. La répartition actuelle des populations d'huître plate est certainement aussi soumise aux actions anthropiques. Enfin, les bases génétiques de la corrélation hétérozygotie-croissance ont été étudiées dans une population naturelle à l'aide de marqueurs enzymatiques et microsatellites. Bien que des pistes en faveur de la contribution directe des locus enzymatiques aient été trouvées, des biais dans le dispositif expérimental ne permettent pas de conclure de façon formelle. Cependant, cette étude a permis de montrer que le captage d'individus sur une faible période (une dizaine de jours) conduit à l'échantillonnage d'une population issue d'un nombre très réduit de géniteurs fondateurs, en contradiction avec l'idée reçue que les populations de bivalves marins sont de larges populations panmictiques à effectif efficace important. Ces résultats confirment dans une population naturelle les observations de réduction importante des tailles efficaces dans des populations d'écloserie.

Résumé : The Latin American shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris was introduced in three different Pacific islands (Tahiti, New Caledonia via Tahiti, and Hawaii) and hatchery-propagated for 7-25 generations to develop shrimp farming based on these domesticated stocks. Three microsatellite markers have been used in an attempt to assess the genetic bases of the populations available to start a selective breeding program. The comparison of eight hatchery stocks (five New Caledonian, two Hawaiian and one Tahitian stocks) and one wild Ecuadorian population showed a much lower variability in the domesticated stocks than in the wild population, especially in New Caledonia and Tahiti (2-3.7 vs. 14-27 alleles per locus; 20-60% vs. 90% expected heterozygosity). The Tahitian and the New Caledonian stocks share the same alleles, suggesting that the loss of alleles occurred during the common past of these populations. On the contrary, New Caledonian and Hawaiian populations share only one common allele at the three loci studied. Although the low genetic variability and the resulting inbreeding of the New Caledonian stocks do not seem to affect their present performance, the results of this study demonstrate the usefulness of the introduction of new stocks in order to increase the potential responses to new controlled or uncontrolled selective pressures. The introduction in New Caledonia of the Hawaiian domesticated stocks, which would provide the local shrimp industry with 40% of the allelic diversity of the species, is advised and preferred to the one of wild animals in order to take advantage (i) of the spontaneous selection which occurred during domestication and (ii) of their favourable sanitary "specific pathogen free" status (no presence of four viruses: WSV, YHV, IHHNV, TSV) which limits the risk of introduction of pathogens.
La crevette d'Amérique latine Litopaenus stylirostris a été introduite dans trois îles du Pacifique (à Tahiti, en Nouvelle-Calédonie via Tahiti, et à Hawaii), et a été ensuite reproduite en écloserie pendant 7 à 25 générations à des fins d'aquaculture. Trois marqueurs microsatellites ont été utilisés pour évaluer les bases génétiques des populations disponibles pour le démarrage d'un programme d'amélioration génétique. L'étude comparative de 8 populations domestiquées (cinq néo-calédoniennes, deux hawaiiennes et une tahitienne) et d'une population sauvage d'Equateur révèle une variabilité très réduite dans les populations d'élevage, en particulier en Nouvelle-Calédonie et à Tahiti (2 à 3.7 allèles par locus au lieu de 14 à 27 en population sauvage ; 20% à 60% d'hétérozygotie au lieu de 90%). Les souches tahitiennes et calédoniennes disposent des mêmes allèles, ce qui suggère que la perte d'allèles a eu lieu lors de l'histoire commune des ces populations. A l'inverse, les populations néo-calédoniennes et hawaiiennes n'ont en commun qu'un seul allèle sur les 3 locus étudiés. Bien que la très faible variabilité génétique du cheptel calédonien ne semble pas affecter ses performances actuelles, les résultats de cette étude démontrent l'utilité de l'introduction de variabilité afin d'augmenter la capacité de réponse à de nouvelles pressions de sélection (contrôlées ou non). L'introduction des souches hawaiiennes en Nouvelle-Calédonie qui permettrait à la filière locale de disposer de 40% de la diversité allélique de l'espèce) est préconisée de préférence à celle d'animaux sauvages afin de bénéficier (i) de la sélection spontanée qu'elles ont subi lors de leur domestication et (ii) de leur statut sanitaire « specific pathogen free, SPF » (absence de 4 virus : WSV, YHV, IHHNV, TSV) qui limite les risques de transferts de pathogènes.

Résumé : International audience
The tiger shark Galeocerdo cuvier (Carcharhinidae) is a large elasmobranch suspected to have, as other apex predators, a keystone function in marine ecosystems and is currently considered Near Threatened (Red list IUCN). Knowledge on its ecology, which is crucial to design proper conservation and management plans, is very scarce. Here we describe the isolation of eight polymorphic microsatellite loci using 454 GS-FLX Titanium pyrosequencing of enriched DNA libraries. Their characteristics were tested on a population of tiger shark (n = 101) from Reunion Island (SouthWestern Indian Ocean). All loci were polymorphic with a number of alleles ranging from two to eight. No null alleles were detected and no linkage disequilibrium was detected after Bonferroni correction. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.03 to 0.76 and from 0.03 to 0.77, respectively. No locus deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and the global F IS of the population was of 0.04 NS. Some of the eight loci developed here successfully cross-amplified in the bull shark Carcharhinus leucas (one locus), the spinner shark Carcharhinus brevipinna (four loci), the sandbar shark Carcharhinus plumbeus (five loci) and the scalloped hammerhead shark Sphyrna lewini (two loci). We also designed primers to amplify and sequence a mitochondrial marker, the control region. We sequenced 862 bp and found a low genetic diversity, with four polymorphic sites, a haplotype diversity of 0.15 and a nucleotide diversity of 2 × 10 −4 .

Résumé : International audience
We isolated and characterized 16 polymorphic microsatellite loci for Lytocarpia brevirostris (Aglaophe- niidae), a hydrozoan common in the tropical Indo-Pacific region. Four to 34 alleles per locus were detected at the Indo-Pacific scale. At the population level, observed (Ho) and expected (He) heterozygosities ranged across 0.100–0.625 and 0.097–0.597, respectively. Three markers showed significant deviation from Hardy–Weinberg equi- librium, all of them presenting null alleles. Linkage dis- equilibrium was detected in three pairs of loci among 120. These primers provide powerful tools for studying popu- lation genetic diversity and the implication of life cycle strategies on population differentiation in tropical hydro- zoans. This will be valuable for the conservation of coral reefs biodiversity and the design of marine protected areas.
