Etude du système latéral des Gobiidae : comparaison de méthodes d'observation Auteur(s) : Bouchereau, Jean-Luc Gros, Olivier Auteurs secondaires : Systématique, adaptation, évolution (SAE) ; Université Pierre et Marie Curie - Paris 6 (UPMC) - Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) Éditeur(s) : HAL CCSD Paris : Muséum national d'histoire naturelle Résumé : International audience En prenant comme exemple le gobie à crête Lophogobius cyprinoides (Pallas, 1770), les éléments (canaux et pores et canaux sensoriels muqueux, et papilles sensorielles) composant le système latéral (SL) ont été observés selon plusieurs méthodes de préparation. Des échantillons ont été préparés soit pour observation en microscopie électronique à balayage (MEB), soit pour observation en microscopie photonique après immersion dans du liquide de fixation "Bouin Hollande" ou dans du formol à 4% en eau de mer avant coloration au KMnO4 (technique traditionnelle). Les résultats obtenus avec le MEB et le Bouin Hollande sont meilleurs qu'avec la méthode traditionnelle et présentent une plus grande reproductibilité. Bien que moins rapide et plus onéreuse, la méthode d'évaluation au MEB offre une finesse d'observation qui n'est pas obtenue au Bouin Hollande en raison de la limite du grandissement en microscopie optique. Si l'ultrastructure des papilles sensorielles ne peut être observable qu'au MEB, le SL des poissons Gobiidae peut être facilement étudié de manière approfondie avec les deux méthodologies proposées dans ce travail. Elles sont à préconiser car plus fiables que la technique traditionnelle consistant en une immersion dans une solution de permanganate de potassium et d'acide sulfurique. Celle-ci détériore partiellement les papilles sensorielles du SL rendant son analyse plus délicate. ISSN: 0399-0974 hal-00749624 https://hal.univ-antilles.fr/hal-00749624 | Partager |

Urucum Neoproterozoic-Cambrian manganese deposits (MS, Brazil): Biogenic participation in the ore genesis, geology, geochemistry, and depositional environment Auteur(s) : Biondi, Joao carlos LOPEZ, Michel Auteurs secondaires : Federal University of Paraná, Curitiba Géosciences Montpellier ; Université des Antilles et de la Guyane (UAG) - Institut national des sciences de l'Univers (INSU - CNRS) - Université de Montpellier (UM) - Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) Éditeur(s) : HAL CCSD Elsevier Résumé : International audience The Urucum region (Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil) contains Neoproterozoic–Cambrian manganese ore in the layers Mn-1, Mn-2, and Mn-3, which are interbedded with iron formations (IFs) from the Santa Cruz Formation (Jacadigo Group) and surrounded by carbonate rocks from the Bocaina and Tamengo Formations (Corumbá Group). These rocks fill an ancient graben, with sediments from the Santa Cruz Formation overlying fluvial deposits from the Urucum Formation and limestones from the Bocaina and Tamengo Formations deposited in the shallow marginal regions. As the graben deepened, it was flooded with microbe-rich seawater and hydrothermalism began. Iron and manganese precipitated within the pores in arkosic sandstones, thereby forming the clastic Lower Mn-1 ore layer. The remaining manganese was simultaneously deposited on the basin floor with clastic clay and silt from turbidity currents, thereby forming the Upper Mn-1 clastic–chemical ore layer. The sedimentation of Mn-1 and its host IFs was controlled by seawater saturation and homogeneous oxidation, which caused manganese and iron sedimentation and the death of microorganisms, generating mangano-ferriferous sediments with high P, Co and Ni contents. Mn-2 formed during periods of tectonic quiescence through water influxes that carried abundant microbes, Fe(II), Mn(II), and SiO2. Under UV radiation, these microbes oxidized Mn(II) and Fe(II) to form hydroxides and died, thereby forming biomass that was enriched in P, Co and Ni and minor carbonate adjacent to and below the oxycline. These microbes also formed kremydilites, oblate structures that resemble manganese stromatolites, within the biomass and produced CH4 and/or H2 gas bubbles. During early diagenesis, wormlike organisms inhabited the biomass and probably separated iron from manganese to produce cryptomelane microbialites, which agglutinated to form manganese micronodules that coalesced to form the massive layer Mn-2. This process ended with the disappearance of microorganisms and the sedimentation of the IFs, and a new water influx generated layer Mn-3 via the same process. The final seawater upwelling precipitated IFs in the basin depocenter, whereas limestone from the Tamengo Formation was deposited along the basin’s edges. The diagenesis initially transformed the manganese oxides into cryptomelane and then into hollandite.

Assessment of tropical shrimp aquaculture impact on the environment in tropical countries, using hydrobiology, ecology and remote sensing as helping tools for diagnosis Auteur(s) : Fuchs, Jacques Martin, Jean-louis M. Populus, Jacques Résumé : After a period of rapid development of the sites (an increase in both reared surface area and production), tropical shrimp aquaculture is currently being faced with critical problems due to economical and ecological constraints. In many countries with favourable conditions for shrimp aquaculture such as indonesia or Vietnam, sites are often badly selected and/or over-exploited. This conducts to sorne extent to decreases or collapses in the production due to the difficulty in predicting the maximum production capacity of the sites. Furthermore, it appears that production sustainability depends on many factors among which socio-economy and ecolo gy are of prime importance.
The STD3 project titled « Assessment of tropical shrimp aquaculture impact on the environment in tropical countries using hydrobiology, ecology and remote sensing as helping tools for diagnosis )) was initiated in 1994, with the aim to study the sustainability of marine shrimp aquaculture in tropical areas, main! y Indonesia and Vietnam, through the following tasks: (i) improve site selection and study the impact of aquaculture on marine environments presenting a variable sensitivity to organic sewage, (ii) analyse the socio-economical aspects and profitability of the aquaculture industry and of common resources (iii) use remote sensing and geographical data bases for diagnosis and monitoring of site degradation (iv) reinforce the capacity of Asian
scientists through training.
Severa! aquaculture sites have been investigated in the Lampung region (South Sumatra, Indonesia), the Mekong delta (Vietnam) and on the West coast of New-Caledonia, providing a large range of typical ecosystems encountered in Asia and in the Pacifie, from coralline sites to coastal plains with mangrove and deltaic areas. The study concerned the spatial structure and seasonal influence of these ecosystems, the temporal variation during the course of the project (3 years) and the relation between the ecological structure and farm productions.
Remote sensing provides a synoptic vision over large land expanses. Severa! scenes were processed for landuse mapping using conventional classification techniques. Concerning water quality assessment, a general relation for the Java sea was found between image and field data in terms of total suspended matter. Applying this relation to a new site in Sumatra has provided an initial approach to water type and, together with land use mapping, a preliminary assessment of the suitability of the area to shrimp aquaculture development.
Socio-economic research has been focused on the identification ofneeds for collective action, including public policy, in the perspective of shrimp farming sustainability. The main concern is in the regulation of shrimp farming intensification and extensification at the scale of coastal ecosystemic entities in a common property resource management perspective. The common considered here is coastal water quality. Comparing the local development profiles and the institutional grounds for the design and implementation of collective management rules shows that variables such as land tenure system, farm owner socio-economic profile, social homogeneity or heterogeneity of the farmers are key factors to analyse the potential for sustainability. The defmition of
water quality and the possible means to ensure its collective management are discussed. The main conclusion is that the economie incentives to farming development are strong but there is no significant difference among traditional, semi-intensive and intensive systems in terms of economie efficiency or wealth distribution.
The description of the functioning of the different kinds of ecosystems make it possible to give an advice concerning the positioning of the activity inside the ecosystem, and furthermore to have a reference state in order to determine the impact of the activity on the coastal environnement. This impact can be summarized as an increase in the concentration of total suspended matt€?r, of particulate organic matter and of sulfate reducing bacterias. This organic ma~.er is either issued from rearing activities or from telluric origine, due to mangrove eradication when building the ponds.
An evaluation of the relationship existing between productivity and characteristics of each ecosystem bas been conducted by correlating ecological indicators data (concentration of total suspended matter, particulate organic matter, chlorophyll, percentage of pheopigments in total pigments and cyanobacteria and sulfatereducing bacteria in water and sediments) with the average production of the farms. This comparison lead to the compilation of a scale of observed production integrating the range of these environmental parameters with shrimp production levels, bound to facilitate the positioning of shrimp farming in relation with the confmement leve! of each ecosystem.
Lastly, ali geographie data originated from the various compartments of the study have been geo-referenced and loaded into a geographical information system. This allows to display any query made on spatial variables and their related statistical data, including the ir variations over the last few years and to reveal patterns and phenomena otherwise not obvious. Le programme mis en oeuvre par la DRV (Paris, CREMA-L'Houmeau, DELIAO Brest, COP Tahiti, GIE/RA Nouvelle Calédonie), dans le cadre d'un projet européen STD3 «(Sciences et Technique au Service du Développement», en collaboration avec l'Université de Montpellier II, l'Ecole Nationale d'Agronomie de Rennes, l'ITC (Hollande), l'Institut Océanographique de Nha Trang (Vietnam), le BADC de Jepara et le BPPT de Jakarta (Indonésie), avait pour but la mise au point de méthodes permettant d'améliorer la sélection des sites ainsi que le suivi du développement et de l'impact de l'aquaculture des crevettes Péneides en milieu tropical pour éviter la surexploitation. Quatre axes de recherche ont été défmis : a) identifier la nature et quantifier les rejets de déchets issus de ce type d'aquaculture, b) définir les caractéristiques écologiques des écosystèmes susceptibles d'accueillir l'activité aquacole et suivre leur évolution sous l'influence des rejets, c) déterminer l'influence de la gestion des fermes et des ressources (aspects économiques) sur les performances de productivité, d) déterminer la capacité de la télédétection comme outil de diagnostic d'impact à l'échelle de la région, e) mener un programme de formation d'étudiants et jeunes chercheurs Vietnamiens et Indonésiens.

Etude morpho-sédimentaire de la vasière intertidale de Monportail-Brouage (Bassin de Marennes-Oleron) Atlas des Facies Auteur(s) : Germaneau, James Robert, Serge Résumé : L'ouvrage que Verger (1968) a consacré au littoral français en général et au Bassin de Marennes-Oléron en particulier est certainement le plus important document dont nous disposons dans le domaine morpho-sédimentaire. Dans cette étude, l'auteur assimile le littoral charentais aux Wadden de Hollande : cette comparaison est cependant discutable, suivant les arguments développés ci-après qui montrent les principales différences entre vasières littorales charentaises et waddens hollandais.
