Résumé : Installation and maintenance of FADs by the Government of Guam began in 1979, initially with funding from the Salstonstall-Kennedy Act through the Pacific Tuna Development Foundation. Current funding for the Guam FAD project is provided through the Dingell-Johnson/Wallop-Breaux Sport Fish Restoration programme, a Federal Aid Project funded by taxes collected on the purchase of fishing equipment and motorboat fuels nationwide. There are now sixteen operational FAD sites in Guam's waters. At a cost of approximately US$10,000 per system, concern for the rising costs of replacing and maintaining FAD systems has prompted the Department of Agriculture's Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources (DAWR) to investigate alternative FAD maintenance strategies and system design. Several cost-cutting measures being considered include the use of reliable solar-powered navigation lights to reduce the number of maintenance trips required, and switching to a newer generation of lighter, more durable buoys and mooring systems. Average time on station for a dawr fad system is nearing two years. Interestingly, in most cases where an errant system is recovered, the failure in the mooring system was observed to occur at a depth from 35 to 500 metres. These observations have led to speculation that additional protection of the mooring line down to 500 m may result in doubling the average time on station of most FAD systems.

Résumé : Archaea are micro-organisms present in all ecosystems, but are majoritary present in extremophilic environments. Hyperthermophilic Archaea, as Pyrococcus abyssi, are permanently exposed at temperature which can increase the rate of spontaneous DNA damage. It is probable that hyperthermophilic Archaea possess efficient molecular mechanism to duplicate, maintain and stabilize their genomes. The aim of this project was to investigate the interaction network involved in the process of DNA replication and DNA repair. The methodological approach consists in the coupling of pull-down with mass spectrometry identification of interacting partners. A preliminary interaction network was identified that was composed of new proteins as well as unsuspected interactions between known components of DNA replication machinery. The main results consist in: (1) the nuclease Pab2263, which interacts with PCNA, is a novel player in DNA metabolism. (2) PCNA is likely part of a macrocomplex with the ubiquitary proteins Mre11 and Rad50 suggesting a role of this complex in the repair of double strand break in connection with a replication fork. (3) Fen1 and DNA primase interact physically and can collaborate in vitro to resolve intermediate step of the base excision repair pathway. These results enhance our understanding of DNA repair process in Archaea.
Les Archaea sont des micro-organismes rencontrés dans tous les écosystèmes, mais qui apparaissent comme majoritaires dans les environnements dits extrêmes. Les archaea hyperthermophiles, comme Pyrococcus abyssi sont en permanence exposées à des températures qui peuvent augmenter le taux de dommages de l'ADN, pourtant, le taux de mutations spontanés chez ces micro-organismes est similaire à celui des espèces modèles mésophiles. Il est ainsi probable que les hyperthermophiles possèdent des systèmes particulièrement efficaces pour dupliquer, maintenir et stabiliser leur génome. L'objectif de ce projet était d'explorer le réseau d'interaction impliqué dans les processus de réplication et de réparation de l'ADN. L'approche méthodologique mise en oeuvre a consisté à coupler la capture de partenaires d'interaction par pull-down avec leur identification par spectrométrie de masse. J'ai pu ainsi mettre en évidence, au sein l'extrait cellulaire de P. abyssi, un réseau préliminaire reliant des protéines de la maintenance génomique. Nous avons non seulement mis en évidence de nouvelles protéines impliquées probablement dans des mécanismes de réparation, mais également des nouvelles interactions non suspectées entre des composants déjà caractérisés. Les principaux résultats sont les suivants : (1) La nucléase Pab2263, partenaire du PCNA, est un nouvel acteur du métabolisme de l'ADN. (2) Le PCNA forme un macrocomplexe avec les protéines ubiquitaires Mre11 et Rad50 suggérant un rôle de ce complexe dans la réparation des cassures double brin de l'ADN lors de la réplication. (3) Les protéines Fen1 et l'ADN primase interagissent physiquement et peuvent collaborer in vitro pour résoudre une étape intermédiaire de la voie de réparation par excision de base. Ces résultats enrichissent notre compréhension des processus de réparation de l'ADN chez les archées.

Résumé : Since 1983, the research on the optimal conception of FADs in Martinique was particularly focused on the improvement of their resistance to different maritime or human aggressions. Following several experimentations made with different types of fads, the choice was brought on light devices anchored in 1 500 to 2 000 m depths and an experimental approach was conducted to identify the causes of loss of fads and to attempt to modelize their hydrodynamic behaviour with relation to the sea conditions. Three mathematical models are used to simulate the fad behaviour under current action and swell, and to estimate the forces exerted on each part of the device. The results of this study are presented. The fad design used nowadays for the development of pelagic fishing in Martinique, recommendations for maintenance and preservation of the fads are also proposed.Original Abstract: De 1983 a 1994, les recherches sur une conception optimale des DCP de la Martinique ont ete plus particulierement orientees sur l'amelioration de leur resistance aux diverses agressions marines ou humaines. Suite aux multiples experimentations menees avec differents types de DCP, le choix de systemes legers ancres par fonds de 1 500 a 2 000 m a conduit a une demarche scientifique comprenant a la fois une analyse des causes de perte des DCP et la modelisation de leur comportement hydrodynamique en fonction des conditions de mer. Les resultats de ce programme ainsi que le plan du DCP retenu pour le developpement de la peche des poissons pelagiques en Martinique sont presentes. Des recommandations pour la maintenance et la preservation des dispositifs sont egalement proposees.
