Copper chloride is toxic to the embryonic development and D larvae of Crassostrea gigas and it affects t h e growth of the veligers at low concentrations.

Searching for patents is usually a recall-oriented problem and depending<br> on the patent search type, quite often a problem which is characterized<br> by uncertainty and evolution or change of the information need.<br> We propose an exploratory strategy for patent sea...

Piabanha (Brycon insignis) is a freshwater fish species from the drainages in Southeastern Brazil. During the 1950s, it was an important economic and food resource for local populations, but dramatic and continuous environmental degradation seriously jeopardized the B. ...

Numerical results for the wake of a three bladed horizontal axis turbine in a uniform free upstream current are presented. A three-dimensional software, taking into account the non stationary evolution of the wake emitted by turbine blades is developed in order to asses...

Gadus pollachius Linnaeus (Fig. 1) is generally known under the name of "lieu jaune" in France, but according to the region or its size, it can have other names: At Boulogne-sur-Mer, it is known as white "merluche" or "colin" and in Brittany, as "malouan" or "loeneck" a...

Abstract The main island of New Caledonia (NC) is surrounded by the second largest barrier reef in the world after the Australian Great Barrier Reef. The Upper Pleistocene evolution of this barrier reef–lagoon complex offers the opportunity to examine the response of a ...

L'océan est mis en mouvement par deux moteurs: l'action du vent et les flux de chaleur à l'interface air-mer. Les études consacrées à la compréhension de la réponse de l'océan au forçage du vent, le premier moteur, ont été ces dernières décennies, avec succès, au centre...

Le présent travail se veut un complément et un début de réponse aux questions que nous nous étions posées lors de notre enquête initiale. Notre recherche portait alors sur l'étude des conditions techniques et sociales de la production ostréicole dans la commune de Bourc...

A series of empirical expressions for predicting gas hydrate stability, its volume fraction out of pore space and gas hydrate mass-density were established in different systems in consideration of gas composition (CH4, C2H6, H2S) and salinity (NaCl, seawater), and pore ...
