Bonamia-ostreae induced mortalities in one-year old European flat oysters Ostrea edulis: experimental infection by cohabitation challenge Auteur(s) : Lallias, Delphine Arzul, Isabelle Heurtebise, Serge Ferrand, Sylvie Chollet, Bruno Robert, Maeva Beaumont, Andrew Boudry, Pierre Éditeur(s) : Physiomar 08 Physilogical aspects of reproduction, nutrition and growth "Marine molluscs in a changing environment" Résumé : Bonamiosis is a parasitic disease (causative agent: Bonamia ostreae) affecting the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, responsible for a drastic decline in the aquaculture production of this oyster species. Therefore a selective breeding program for resistance to bonamiosis has been undertaken since 1985 bu Ifremer, leading to the production of several selected oyster families. In the present study, a 6-month cohabitation challenge experiment was performed in order to transmit the disease from wild oysters (injected with the parasite) to two tested families of oysters originating from the selective breeding program. Mortalities were checked daily, and ventricular heart smears were performed on dying or moribund oysters to detect the level of infection to B. ostreae. The first infections occurred after 4 months of challenge in the tested oysters (Family 1 and Family 2). The cumulative mortalities after 5 monts were 58% for the wil oysters, 9% for Family 1 (20-month old at the beginning of the experiment) and 20% for Family 2 (8-month, old). The parasite could be detected in 66.8% of the dying wild oysters, 67.5% of the dying oysters of Family 1, 89% of the dying oysters of Family 2 and only 11% of the surviving oysters of Family 2. The mortality was significantly higher in Family 2 thant in Family 1 (x2= 20.87, p<0.001, d.f.) as well as the level of infection by the parasite found in heart smear (x2=24.34, p<0.001, 4 d.f.). This result demonstrates that prespawning oysters as yong as 1 year-old can become infected with the parasite and die from bonamiosis. This result is inconsistent with the commonly accepted critical age of 2 years-old for the disease development. The most probable cause of the dscrepancy in the development of bonamiosis between the 2 tested families is a difference in genetic background.

Induced spawning of red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus: use of multivariate and univariate analysis methods in the search for side effects of LH-RHa treatments and ovarian development state upon spawn quality Auteur(s) : Gardes, Lionel Villanove, Philippe Buchet, Vincent Fauvel, Christian Éditeur(s) : Edp Sciences S A Résumé : The present work examines the usefulness of the combination of multivariate analyses and further one-way analysis of variance in the search for links between causes and effects in heterologous stimulation of spawning in fish. Stimulations with both 20 and 50 mu g . kg(-1) doses of [D Trp(6)] luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogue (LH-RHa) were effective in inducing and synchronizing spawning of red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus. Oocyte development monitoring using ovarian biopsy allowed treatment injections at different stages of maturation. The influence at stimulation time of female oocyte development state upon further development was shown. An interesting potential of second stimulation, leading to high quality spawns, was established and factors of success were identified. The best conditions for stimulation success were simultaneously late stage of oocyte development characterized by the beginning of oil droplet coalescence, high ovarian homogeneity quoted by the proportion of most developed oocytes in the biopsy sample, and low dose of hormone (20 mu g . kg(-1)) for both first and second stimulations. Ce travail examine l’intérêt de la combinaison d’analyses multivariées et de l’analyse de variance à un facteur pour la recherche de liens au sein d’expérimentations aquacoles faisant intervenir une diversité de causes et d’effets. L’injection de l’analogue [D Trp6] de la gonado-libérine (LH-RHa) est efficace aux doses de 20 et 50 íg×kg–1 pour provoquer et synchroniser les pontes chez l’ombrine, Sciaenops ocellatus. Un suivi du développement ovocytaire par biopsie ovarienne permet en outre de réaliser des injections à différents stades de maturation et l’influence du stade ovocytaire de la femelle, au moment de la stimulation sur la qualité de la ponte, est ainsi mise en évidence. Un potentiel intéressant suite à une seconde stimulation aboutissant à des pontes de qualité, est établi et des facteurs de réussite sont identifiés. Les meilleures conditions pour le succès de la stimulation sont simultanément : le dernier stade de développement ovocytaire, caractérisé par le début de coalescence de la gouttelette lipidique, la forte homogénéité ovarienne représentant la proportion des ovocytes les plus développés au sein de l’échantillon obtenu par biopsie, la faible dose hormonale (20 íg×kg–1) à la fois pour les premières et les secondes stimulations.

La production aquacole de coquille Saint-Jacques (Pecten maximus) et le soutien scientifique à l'operation pilote Auteur(s) : Dao, Jean-claude Barret, Jean Carval, Jean-pierre Connan, Jean-paul Corre, Christian Devauchelle, Nicole Fleury, Pierre-gildas Laurent, Pascale Éditeur(s) : 3e Rencontres Scientifiques Internationales du contrat de baie de la rade de Brest. Brest 14-16 mars 1995 Résumé : Aquaculture production of scallop has been identified by a series of technical operations during the past ten years programme under a partnership involving the fishermen organizations with regional and national grants. 3 million juveniles have been produced annually, giving a potential recapture by fishing of 100 to 120 tonnes 3 years later. Results in terms of technical and economical approach have pointed out the principal unknown factors responsable for high costs. 7he pilot programme aims to increase the production to reach a level of 5 million juveniles to support the fishery of the rade de Brest and induce new management of the resources. Two priorities were selected, control of the reproduction in the hatchery to obtain reliable larval and postlarval rearing during a larger period of the year, mainly during summer, and improvement of survival rate of the juveniles by minimizing stress when manipulating the animals. But biological and ecological mechanisms are still poorly understoodfor scallop and generally bibvalves and the last two years have shown unchanged results. The technical pathways shows interactions between the different steps of the production of juveniles where different teams operate separately. Management of the livestock has to be developed to increase the survival rate by better breeding but also to reduce the loss by adapted and coordinated practices. Recapture results indicate that fishery strategies depend also on the production of juvenile, and could orientate the management of the hatchery.

Snook (Centropomidae) and grouper (Serranidae) mariculture in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Basin Auteur(s) : Roberts Jr, D Éditeur(s) : Actes de colloques Ifremer, Tahiti, French Polynesia, 20 Feb - 4 Mar 1989, n°9, chap. 44, pp.485 Résumé : Centropomidae and Serranidae, sometimes collectively misnamed "sea basses", are suitable for aquaculture in pens, ponds, and raceways around the tropical and subtropical latitudes of the world. Western Atlantic Ocean species were recently considered for farming. South Florida, Mexico, Central and South America and the Antilles areas of the Caribbean Basin have extensive areas suitable for farming groupers and snook. Principal species of interest are the common snook (Centropomus undecimalis ), the fat snook (C. parallelus ), the Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus ), Black seabass (Centropristis striatus ), Gag (Mycteroperca microlepis ), and jewfish (E. itajara ).
