This work presents interactions between quantitative and qualitative river freshwater inputs and the shellfish farming (oyster and mussel) in the Pertuis Charentais. The quantity of freshwater (i.e. salinity) seems to have a weak influence on the shellfish farming contrarily to its quality determined by particulate and dissolved matters contained in the water. In autumn and winter, large precipitations have a "globally positive" effect amending the coastal ecosystem. Associated dissolved nutriments and the organic matter largely determine the quality of the coming spring growth for bred shellfish, itself controlling in turn the annual yield efficiencies. However, in winter their effects are postponed because of strong mineral load, low luminosity and temperature, then limiting the primary production. The spring contributions, directly linked to territorial practices, agriculture and tourism are more variable in quantity and quality from one year to another. They often correspond to high-risk inflows since numerous substances from anthropogenic watersheds can be found diluted in the coastal zone as in the Pertuis Charentais. Their impacts on in situ estuarine ecosystems are still poorly known since these substances are mainly studied and estimated in laboratory in controlled conditions. Several studies showed anthropogenic contaminations (i.e. cadmium, pesticides) could have significant direct or indirect effects on shellfish farming. For instance, the "summer" mortalities between 1990 and 2000 in the South of the Marennes-Oléron bay (MOB), that induced environmental and physiological oyster disorders, could be linked to pesticide effects, measured during consecutive years on the oyster bed of Ronce Perquis in the South of the MOB. The weak results from the spring larval rearing of the IFREMER experimental hatchery in the South of the bay, and chromosomal abnormalities measured on the stocks of wild oysters of the Pertuis could confirm a high-risk spring environment for the shellfish farming. In summer terrestrial inputs are reduced by low precipitations, anthropogenic water removals (drinking water, irrigation) and by plant evapotranspiration. Consequently certain years, a significant salinity increase in water masses of the Pertuis Charentais is observed. However, based on long-term observations, the significant interannual variability noticed in freshwater contributions constitutes one of the most important facts of these last years. When contributions are weak (i.e. 1991 and 2011), the mean annual salinity is 34.5 in the MOB. To the contrary, other years (i.e. 1977, 1981, 1983 and 1988), the mean salinity reduced to 30.5 shows the significant freshwater contributions to the bay. Elsewhere, particularly in the mediterranean region, oyster breeding water conditions characterized by high salinity values show the freshwater does not seem to be necessary for biological functions of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. Indeed, the oyster embryonic life in particular is well adapted to high salinity values as long as trophic resources are substantial and temperatures remain high. These two factors firstly condition the embryonic survival before the water salinity. Besides, in the Pertuis Charentais, wind conditions and the geographical bloodstock position rather determine the success of the larvae capture than seawater physic-chemical conditions. Finally, a misunderstanding still remains on summer freshwater contributions to the oyster larvae food supply.

1-Inroduction générale (Extraits). L'IFREMER exerce de longue date des tâches de surveillance et de contrôle de la qualité du milieu marin et de ses ressources. Certaines de ces tâches le sont de façon très organisée et systématique, couvrant "en réseau" l'ensemble du littoral français. Le présent ouvrage dresse le bilan des résultats obtenus par trois de ces réseaux, en vue d'évaluer la qualité actuelle des eaux littorales, mission à laquelle ils sont dédiés : le Réseau National d'Observation de la Qualité du Milieu Marin (RNO), le réseau de surveillance du phytoplancton (REPHY) et le réseau de surveillance microbiologique (REMI ). Le RNO a été mis en place en 1974 par le Ministère de l'Environnement avec pour premier objectif l'évaluation des niveaux et des tendances des polluants et des paramètres généraux de la qualité du milieu marin. Mais cette activité ne peut se concevoir sans une surveillance des effets biologiques de la qualité du milieu. Ce deuxième objectif de surveillance vise à évaluer l'état de santé de la flore et de la faune marines par la mesure de la réponse de ces organismes à des perturbations de la qualité du milieu. Il a été introduit en 1987 dans les programmes du RNO. Toutefois, les résultats n'en sont encore que préliminaires et ne sont pas présentés ici. La création du REPHY a fait suite aux intoxications par les coquillages observées en 1983. Ce réseau fait le suivi des populations phytoplanctoniques, de leurs perturbations et de l'apparition d'espèces toxiques pour l'homme ou pour les animaux marins. Dès 1984, la majeure partie du littoral faisait l'objet de cette surveillance. Quant au REMI , il évalue les niveaux et les tendances de la contamination microbiologique du milieu et plus spécialement des zones de production conchylicole. Il résulte de la réorganisation opérée en 1989 des activités de contrôle de la salubrité des coquillages menées par l'IFREMER. Cette réorganisation a eu pour objectif de permettre une appréciation plus globale de la qualité microbiologique du milieu, tout en fournissant les éléments contribuant à la protection du consommateur. Les résultats de surveillance du mi lieu portent au total sur une vingtaine de paramètres qui définissent plusieurs types de qualité environnementale : qualité générale des masses d'eaux par la température, la salinité, les sels nutritifs (nitrate, phosphate ... ), la chlorophylle ; contamination du milieu par des métaux (mercure, cadmium, plomb ... ) et des composés organiques toxiques (PCB, pesticides ... ), mesurés dans certains organismes sentinelles (moule, huître ... ) ; fréquence d'apparition dans les masses d'eaux d'espèces phytoplanctoniques toxiques représentées ici par Dinophysis et Alexandrium, et risques de toxicité effective des coquillages ; contamination du milieu par les bactéries d'origine terrestre, représentées ici par les coliformes fécaux mesurés dans les moules et les huîtres. …

The effect of fish farming on dissolved amino acid concentrations, bacterioplankton abundance and exoproteolytic activity was assessed in 3 experimental marine ponds. Different standing stocks of fish were introduced (semi-intensive pond: 250 g.m(-2); semi-extensive pond: 50 g.m(-2) control pond: 0). Sea bass farming increased dissolved combined amino acid (DCAA) concentrations only in the semi-intensive pond. Bacterial standing stock was unaffected by fish food supply. However, bacterial exoproteolytic activity was strongly stimulated by aquaculture intensification; the average maximal rate of dissolved protein hydrolysis (V-m) increased with intensity (control pond: 1 500 nM.h(-1); semi-extensive pond: 2 600 nM.h(-1) semi-intensive pond: 5 100 nM.h(-1)). DCAA fluxes through bacterial exoproteolytic activity ranged between 16 (semi-extensive) and 11% (semi-intensive) of the daily nitrogen input by fish food. Bacterial exoproteolytic activity allowed a substantial part of the increased supply of dissolved amino nitrogen to be incorporated into bacterial biomass, then available for transfer to higher trophic levels within the ponds. It also significantly decreased dissolved organic nitrogen export from the ponds to the surrounding environment.

The accumulation of mannosyl-glycerate (MG), the salinity stress response osmolyte of Thermococcales, was investigated as a function of hydrostatic pressure in Thermococcus barophilus strain MP, a hyperthermophilic, piezophilic archaeon isolated from the Snake Pit site (MAR), which grows optimally at 40 MPa. Strain MP accumulated MG primarily in response to salinity stress, but in contrast to other Thermococcales, MG was also accumulated in response to thermal stress. MG accumulation peaked for combined stresses. The accumulation of MG was drastically increased under sub-optimal hydrostatic pressure conditions, demonstrating that low pressure is perceived as a stress in this piezophile, and that the proteome of T. barophilus is low-pressure sensitive. MG accumulation was strongly reduced under supra-optimal pressure conditions clearly demonstrating the structural adaptation of this proteome to high hydrostatic pressure. The lack of MG synthesis only slightly altered the growth characteristics of two different MG synthesis deletion mutants. No shift to other osmolytes was observed. Altogether our observations suggest that the salinity stress response in T. barophilus is not essential and may be under negative selective pressure, similarly to what has been observed for its thermal stress response.
