Incidences de la modification de la circulation des eaux sur l'hydrochimie et le degré de contamination bacterienne d'un estuaire eutrophe tropical

In order to control the proliferation of floating aquatic vegetation in Côte d'Ivoire, a coastal inlet, allowing a direct communication between the Comoe river and the ocean, was created in September 1987. The impact of this operation on the hydrochemistry (salinity, nutrients, algal biomass) and the bacterial contamination level was studied in the area close to the Vridi canal.

Les effets de la réouverture de l'embouchure du fleuve Comoé sur le végétation littorale lagunaire (Lagune Ebrié - Côte d'Ivoire)

The results of floristic data collected during two surveys in the eastern region of Ebrié lagoon in 1987 (before the reopening of the inlet) and in 1988 (after the reopening of the inlet) are discussed in this article. Salinity increase (from 4‰ to 30‰) as a result of the reopening in September 1987 of the channel of Comoé river, profoundly modified qualitatively and quantitatively, the plant population. Floating or fixed macrophytes have been completely destroyed. Mangrove forest being the hydrophytic belt of the lagunar rives.

Doses efficaces en glyphosate et en 2,4-D pour le contrôle chimique des laitue d'eau (Pistia stratiotes, Linn.) et toxicité du glyphosate vis-à-vis des tilapias (Sarotherodon melanotheron)

The toxic effects of two herbicides Round up (gliphosate) and 2,4-D (herbazol) were tested on Pistia stratiotes (Linn. Araceae) samples cultivated in glass aquariums. The gliphosate appears to be more toxic on Pistia Stratiotes than 2,4-D. It was then tested on tilapia Sarotherodon melanotheron juveniles. The lethal dose for tilapia (CL50 = 13.25 mg.l -1) is about 18, 37 and 74 times higher than the glyphosate toxic dose for plants at 1, 2 and 4 meters water depth respectively.

Écologie de bassins de lagunage pour le traitement d'effluents domestiques en milieu tropical humide (Côte d'Ivoire)

The waste water treatment of Dabou (Côte d'Ivoire), made of three oxydation ponds (B1, B2 and B3), is designed to ensure a biological treatment of domestic sewage and a valorization of the final effluent in aquaculture. In order to understand the ecological mechanisms and the performance of this system, a pluridisciplinary program was achieved in February 1989.

Importance de certaines caractéristiques biologiques dans la structuration génétique des espèces de poissons: le cas de Ethmalosa fimbriata et Sarotherodon melanotheron

Six populations of Ethmalosa fimbriata and six of Sarotherodon melanotheron have been analysed using enzymatic electrophoresis. The study of gene flow intensity in these two species indicate that: - In Ethmalosa fimbriata, a migratory species with high fecundity and pelagic eggs, there is a high gene flow between populations (3 Nm 83). - In Sarotherodon melanotheron, a sedentary and mouthbrooder species with low fecundity, there is a low gene flow between populations (1 Nm 4).

Toxicité de l'ammoniaque chez le silure africain Heterobranchus longifilis

The acute toxicity of ammonia to the African catfish (Heterobranchus longifilis, Valenciennes 1840) was studied using static bioassay systems.

Toxicité des sulfures dissous chez le poisson-chat africain, Heterobranchus longifilis (Valenciennes, 1840)

Biological tests were carried out using static bioassay systems to determine the median lethal concentration of total sulfide (H2S, HS, S2) for African catfish (Heterobranchus longifilis, Valenciennes, 1840) at fry and juvenile stages.

Os tempos da escrita na obra de Clarice Lispector

Apoiados nos ensinamentos de Sigmund Freud e de Jacques Lacan, partimos de um pressuposto: as obras concebidas por Clarice Lispector no intervalo de tempo entre 1964 e 1973 colocam em evidência a operação que inscreve o ser falante no campo da linguagem. Talvez por isso, nesse contexto, seja possível perceber a consolidação de uma mudança em seu estilo, considerando que, de acordo com uma determinada vertente da crítica literária, existem pelo menos dois ciclos estilísticos ao analisarmos o conjunto da obra da escritora. Esses dois ciclos são determinados quando se opera uma torção na voz narrativa, que se desloca da terceira para a primeira pessoa. Essa torção tem como marco o livro A Paixão Segundo G.H. e se consolida em 1973, com o livro Água Viva. Supomos que a mudança no estilo de Clarice Lispector corresponde à torção que engaja o ser falante nas vicissitudes do corpo, em sua origem. Assim, é por povoar o mundo dos afetos que a repercussão de determinadas leituras nos leva à seguinte constatação: haveria escritos cuja temporalidade remonta à suspensão da fantasia, motivo pelo qual se prestam a transmitir o real da experiência de uma primeira inscrição, por via do encontro entre leitor e texto. Tratar-se-iam de escritos cuja temporalidade remete ao instante em que a morte se inscreve nas malhas corporais, resultantes do que escapa ao simbólico, o real. Na intimidade do pulsional, tais práticas testemunham o momento em que a língua materna (Lalangue) faz marca no corpo, desembocando no tempo da inscrição do traço unário; o que permite ao sujeito falar, fazendo frente, por via de uma nomeação, à falta de um significante no campo do Outro, . No decorrer do presente trabalho, vimos que Lacan, ao entrelaçar saber inconsciente e poesia, assim o fez na tentativa de transmitir a fugacidade de um instante no qual o inconsciente aflora. Ao se colocar no lugar de agente da poesia, Lacan é levado a especificar a verdade como sendo poética, situando a poesia como fundamentalmente ligada ao seu estilo e à transmissibilidade da psicanálise. Com Clarice Lispector, algo se transmite. E foi com ela que retomamos importantes textos de Jacques Lacan sobre o tema da escrita, dentre os quais, a lição sobre Lituraterra e o seminário Le sinthome. Acompanhamos o seu percurso a respeito do traço unário, desde o seminário da identificação, deixando-nos interrogar sobre a potência de uma imagem que está para além do que é representável. Por isso, ao final de nosso trabalho, enfatizamos o estatuto de uma escrita que se produz por via de um ato que conjuga o traço unário ao objeto a em sua vertente olhar.

Étude quantitative de l'upwelling sur le plateau continental ivorien

A wind-driven upwelling occurs on the continental shelf of Ivory Coast during the northern summer months; by studying the average conditions in the wind field, it has been found that in steady state the vertical speed upwards does not exceed 70 cm per day. The vertical flow per km super(2) is estimated in 46 m super(3)/s for a channel 50 m depth and in 92m super(3)/s for a channel 300 m depth. This study does not include the inclination of isopycnes in geostrophic adjustment with the variations of the Guinea current.

Le régime alimentaire de Dentex angolensis, Poll et Maul, 1953 (Sparidae)

The food of Dentex angolensis, studied from 386 stomachs, consists essentially of small epibenthic crustaceans and, with less importance, of fishes. A systematic list with abundance and occurrence is given here. It is noted that the composition of the stomach content can differ with depth and season.

Étude du crabe rouge profond Geryon quinquedens en Côte d'Ivoire. 1 - Prospection le long du talus continental: résultats des pêches

From Aug 1975 to Jan 1976 a fishing survey for deep-sea red crab Geryon quinquedens was executed along the Ivorian coast between 3{degree} and 7{degree}30'W. Three regions could be distinguished: a central one with poor catches (1.6 kg/trap/20h); an east region with the best catches (5 kg/trap/20h); and a west region, also with good catches (4.5 kg/trap/20h). For the whole survey, catches only took place between 300 and 700m, the best at 400 m. A distinct sexual segregation was observed according to bathymetry with the percentage of males increasing with depth. Nearly the same abundance was observed in Côte d'Ivoire, in Congo and North Angola, while in South Angola catches are somewhat higher.

Excrétion organique du phytoplancton et activité bacterienne hétérotrophe dans le Dôme de Guinée (Océan Atlantique Tropical Est)

Primary production rates in the Gulf the Guinea (east tropical Atlantic) were measured with in situ incubations. The extracellular organic carbon passed through 0.8 u pore size membrane filters averaged 29.5% of the carbon fixed by photosynthesis. These is a good linear correlation (r=0.86) between assimilation and organic excretion. The significance and limits of the method for the measurements of low rates of photosynthesis is discussed. The influence of ecological factors (nutrients, light and stability) cannot be demonstrated. The importance of bacterial regeneration processes by reutilization of algal extracellular products is assessed.

Quelques observations sur la présence des Cumacés dans le zooplancton des eaux néritiques de Côte d'Ivoire

Cumacea were only observed in night plankton of the Côte d'Ivoire continental shelf. However they are not always observed and their occurrence seems to depend on the marine seasons. In September, December and April, the catches were very poor indeed, whereas May and June showed interesting results. Most of the species are rarely seen in the upper layer. Several activity rhythms could be shown for the most common species present in the hauls.

Copépodes pélagiques du plateau ivoirien. 2 - Utilisation de l'arbre de longueur minimum dans le classement des récoltes

The minimum spanning tree algorithm is used to classify two sets of planktonic copepod samples. This algorithm links the samples the distance of which is minimum, without doing a loop, so that the sum of the segment lengths is minimum. The authors estimated the distance between samples by 2 different ways: by a coefficient of association the Jaccard's index - and by the x2 distance. Jaccard's index is not retained but the use of the x2 distance allows comparison with the 'analyse factorielle des correspondances'. The results are discussed from an ecological point of view.

Note sur le régime alimentaire de quelques poissons démérsaux de Côte d'Ivoire

Stomach contents from 21 species of demersal fish caught on Grand Bassam (Côte d'Ivoire) fishing grounds at 20 and 35 m depth are analyzed. The results are compared with those of Longhurst (1957, 1960). The great importance of Crustacea in the food of those species appears clearly. A representative scheme of the diet is suggested.
