Growth patterns of natural seawater bacterial communities incubated in situ. Auteur(s) : Turley, C Lochte, K Éditeur(s) : Actes de colloques. Ifremer Brest [ACTES COLLOQ. IFREMER.]. 1986 Résumé : Using in situ incubations in dialysis bags of natural bacterial communities, the change in growth rates over a 2-day period has been studied for the community as a whole and for different morphological groups within the community. A sequence of events during growth of both communities well above (4m) and well below (60m) the thermocline in the stratified waters, close to a shallow sea front in the Irish Sea, was noted. There was evidence not only of a periodic pattern of growth of the whole bacterial community but also of synchronous cell division of groups within the community. An increase in mean cell volume of both 4 m and 60 m bacterial communities preceded an increase in specific growth rate which usually coincided with a decrease in mean cell volume. There are distinct differences in numbers of phytoplankton, protozooplankton, macrozooplankton and fish between the waters above and below the thermocline. Some of these organisms exhibit diurnal rhythms and their possible influence on the growth rates and rhythms of bacterial communities in each water mass is discussed. Les modifications du taux de croissance d'une communauté naturelle de bactéries, prise dans son ensemble, et des différents groupes morphologiques la constituant sont étudiées sur une période de 2 jours par incubations in situ dans des sacs à dialyse. Les phénomènes successifs survenant durant la croissance de la communauté sont étudiés à la fois nettement au-dessus (4m) et au-dessous (60m) de la thermocline dans des eaux stratifiées, à proximité d'un front côtier en mer d'Irlande. Il est mis en évidence, non seulement des phases périodiques de croissance sur toute la communauté bactérienne, mais également une division synchrone des cellules dans les différents groupes de la communauté. Une augmentation du volume moyen des cellules des deux communautés des 4 et 60 m précède une augmentation du taux de croissance spécifique, qui coïncide généralement avec une diminution du volume cellulaire moyen. La communauté présente à 4 m, dans son ensemble, mais aussi les deux groupes morphologiques (cocci et bâtonnets) qui la composent, ont des temps de génération proches de la journée. Toutefois, la plupart des formes coccoides se divisent pendant la nuit, et la plupart des formes en bâtonnet se divisent pendant la journée. Réciproquement, à 60 m, la plupart des bâtonnets se divisent pendant la nuit, tout en ayant le même temps de génération qu'à 4 m. La plupart des cocci se divisent pendant la journée et ont un temps degeneration plus faible (presque trois jours). Ceci fait passer le temps de génération de l'ensemble de la communauté des 60 m à 2 jours. Des différences nettes sont observées dans les numérations de phytoplancton, protozooplancton, macrozooplancton et poissons entre les eaux situées au-dessus et au dessous de la thermocline. Plusieurs de ces organismes présentent des rythmes diurnes et leur influence possible sur les taux de croissance et rythmes des communautés bactériennes dans chacune de ces masses d'eau est discutée.

Activity of the turbidite levees of the Celtic-Armorican margin (Bay of Biscay) during the last 30,000 years: Imprints of the last European deglaciation and Heinrich events Auteur(s) : Toucanne, Samuel Zaragosi, S Bourillet, Jean-francois Naughton, F Cremer, M Eynaud, F Dennielou, Bernard Éditeur(s) : Elsevier Résumé : High-resolution sedimentological and micropaleontological studies of several deep-sea cores retrieved from the levees of the Celtic and Armorican turbidite systems (Bay of Biscay - North Atlantic Ocean) allow the detection of the major oscillations of the British-Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) and 'Fleuve Manche' palaeoriver discharges over the last 30,000 years, which were mainly triggered by climate changes. Between 30 and 20 cal ka, the turbiditic activity on the Celtic-Annorican margin was weak, contrasting with previous stratigraphic models which predicted a substantial increase of sediment supply during low sea-level stands. This low turbidite deposit frequency was most likely the result of a weak activity of the 'Fleuve Manche' palaeoriver and/or of a reduced seaward transfer of sediments from the shelf to the margin. However, two episodes of turbiditic activity increase were detected in the Celtic-Armorican margin, during Heinrich events (HE) 3 and 2. This strengthening of the turbiditic activity was triggered by the meltwater releases from European ice sheets and glaciers favouring the seaward transfer of subglacial material, at least via 'Fleuve Manche' palaeoriver. At around 20 cal ka, a significant increase of turbidite deposit frequency occurred as a response to the onset of the last deglaciation. The retreat of the European ice sheets and glaciers induced a substantial increase of the 'Fleuve Manche' palaeoriver discharges and seaward transfer of continentally-derived material into the Armorican turbidite system. The intensification of the turbiditic activity on the Celtic system was directly sustained by the widespread transport of subglacial sediments from the British-Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) to the Celtic Sea via the Irish Sea Basin. A sudden reduction of turbiditic activity in the Armorican system, between ca. 19 and 18.3 cal ka, could have been triggered by the first well known abrupt sea-level rise ('meltwater pulse', at around 19 cal ka) favouring the trapping of sediment in the 'Fleuve Manche' palaeoriver valleys and the decrease of the seaward transfer of continentally-derived material. The maximum of turbiditic activity strengthening in the Celtic-Armorican margin, between ca. 18.3 and 17 cal ka, was induced by the decay of European ice sheets and glaciers producing the most extreme episode of the 'Fleuve Manche' palaeoriver runoff and a great seaward transfer of subglacial material into the Bay of Biscay, Between ca. 17.5 and 16 cal ka, the turbiditic activity significantly decreased in both Celtic and Armorican turbidite systems in response to a global re-advance of glaciers and ice sheets in Europe. The last episode of ice sheet retreat, between ca. 16 and 14 cal ka, is well expressed in the Celtic system by a new increase of the turbiditic activity. The major episode of sea-level rise at around 14 cal ka ('Meltwater Pulse 1A'), precluding the seaward transfer of sediments, induced the end of turbiditic activity in both the Celtic and the Armorican system. Although two main phases of global sea-level rise seem to have had an effect on the Celtic-Armorican margin, this work proposes the BUS retreat and associated riverine discharges as the main trigger mechanisms of the turbiditic activity in this region during the last 30,000 years.

Evolution de l'activite-des flottilles françaises en Mer d'Irlande et en Mer Celtique Auteur(s) : Charuau, Anatole Morizur, Yvon Rivoalen, Jean-jacques Éditeur(s) : CM. 1982/K : 8 Résumé : Since 1978, the habits of the french fishermen working with bottom trawl in the Irish Sea and in the Celtic Sea were altered (CHARUAU et M0RIZUR, 198l) under the pressure of the new mesh regulation. Two facts are pointed out: - the shifting, stabilized during 1980 and 198l, of a part of the effort of the vessels fishing for gadoids, from the area VIIa to the areaVIIf - a tendancy inside the area VIIg of a part of the effort of the Nephrops trawlers to be transferred on benthic fishes when the yield of Nephrops is low. Cette communication décrit l'évolution des habitudes des pêcheurs français travaillant au chalut de fond en Mer d'Irlande (division CIEM VIIfa) et sur le Plateau Celtique (divisions CIEM VIIf et g) sous la pression des nouvelles réglementations de irai liage. Elle fait suite à la communication de CHARUAU et M0RIZUR(198l) sur le même sujet. Deux phénomènes simultanés se sont produits depuis 1978 : - un repli qui semble s'être stabilisé entre 1980 et 198l, d'une partie de la flottille des bateaux spécialisés dans la pêche du poisson, de la division VIIa vers la division VIIf, - un report, à l'intérieur de la division VIIg, d'une partie de l'effort des langoustiniers vers le poisson. Ce changement qui s'explique surtout par des raisons socio-économiques n'est pas analysé. Seules les tendances par rapport a 1980 sont constatées.

The impact of the last European deglaciation on the deep-sea turbidite systems of the Celtic-Armorican margin (Bay of Biscay) Auteur(s) : Zaragosi, Sébastien Bourillet, Jean-francois Eynaud, Frédérique Toucanne, Samuel Denhard, Benjamin Van Toer, Aurélie Lanfumey, Valentine Éditeur(s) : Springer Résumé : The compilation of results obtained on three giant piston cores from the Whittard, Shamrock and Guilcher turbidite levees reveals a high-resolution stratigraphic record for the Bay of Biscay. Due to the abundance of reworked sediments in these sedimentary environments, a specific methodological approach, based on an X-ray-assisted subsampling phase associated with sedimentological, geochemical and micropalaeontological analyses, was implemented. With an accurate chronological framework, this multi-proxy investigation provides observations on the 'Fleuve Manche' palaeoriver and the British-Irish Ice Sheet (BIS) histories over the last 20,000 years. The results obtained highlight the direct influence of the decay of the BIS on the Bay of Biscay deep-sea clastic sedimentation during the last European deglacial phase. During this period, the annual BIS cycle of meltwater seems enough to generate seasonal turbidity currents associated with exceptional sedimentation rates in all the Celtic and Armorican turbidite systems. With very high sedimentation rates, the turbidite levees represent the main deep-sea clastic depositional area. Long coring combined with a very careful subsampling method can provide continuous high-resolution palaeoenvironmental signals.

Etude bibliographique de quelques espèces planctoniques et benthiques littorales de la Manche - Volume 1 - Espèces phytoplanctoniques Auteur(s) : Erard-le Denn, Evelyne Populus, Jacques Résumé : This catalogue deals mainly with common phytoplanktonic species found in the Channel. It is part of a bibliographical survey on pelagos and benthos. The main idea was to gather the largest possible amount of data on the eco-physiology of each species. To do so, studies were conducted in the main marine region where the species had been found and analysed. We focused on several reference ecological studies conducted in the coastal Channel, on the E.D.F. sites, by the C.N.E.X.O., the I.S.T.P.M. and some university laboratories. A great attention was also paid to the studies on seasonal cycles carried out in laboratories in Plymouth, Helgoland and in the Irish zones. (unverified OCR) Ce catalogue se rapporte essentiellement aux espèces phytoplanctoniques les plus courantes et abondantes en Manche; il s'insère dans une synthèse bibliographique générale concernant le pélagos et le benthos. Nous nous sommes proposés de rassembler le plus grand nombre de données sur l'éco-physiologie de chaque espèce. Pour ce faire, les recherches se sont déroulées dans les principales régions maritimes où l'espèce avait été rencontrée et étudiée. Plus particulièrement, notre attention s'est portée sur les études écologiques de référence effectuées en Manche Littorale sur les sites E.D.F. par le C.N.E.X.O., l'I.S.T.P.M, et les laboratoires universitaires; d'importance aussi, furent les études de cycles saisonniers effectuées au laboratoire de Plymouth, d'Helgoland, et dans les zones irlandaises.
