Abstract Transitional waters, described as critical transition zones because of their position at terrestrial, freshwater and marine interfaces, provide essential goods services to the biosphere including human populations. These ecotones face increasing influence mainly due population density increase in coastal areas. water bodies have, date, received little attention development ecological status indicators; this is a deficiency when trying meet Water Framework Directive objective all...

A cross-ecosystem comparison of data obtained from 20 French Mediterranean lagoons with contrasting eutrophication status provided the basis for investigating variables that best predict chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentrations and nutrient limitation phytoplankton biomass along strong enrichment gradient. Summer dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) phosphorus (DIP) comprised only small fraction total (TN) (TP). On concentrations, most oligotrophic appeared to be phosphorus-limited, tendency...
A 4‐year study (1989–1992) of a population Lipophrys pavo living in brackish lagoon (Maugio, France) revealed three types male during the spawning season (April to September): (i) nest‐breeder males which are territorial, and have well‐developed secondary sexual characteristics; (ii) non‐functional were abundant only 1991 when density was very high (iii) 1‐year‐old kleptogamic with small body size possess neither organs nor testicular gland, although their testes functional hyperdeveloped...
ABSTRACT Abiotic and biotic variables of coastal lagoons are highly heterogeneous in both space time, this heterogeneity complicates the assessment their ecological status. These essential to monitoring preservation these fragile ecotones resources services they sustain. An integrative approach for evaluating status lagoons, based on field investigations key parameters driving functioning a set selected indicators matching lagoon management information needs societal benefits, is...
In male sand smelt Atherina boyeri , from three coastal brackish lagoons of southern France, the duration reproductive season differed according to fish size: larger exhibited an extended February August while smaller males reproduced only April June‐July. Smaller and showed differences in their seasonal pattern reserves. Through cold season, energy content was exhausted for over‐winter maintenance needs, restored just after ceased reproducing. fish, however, reserves were more rapidly than...
The Thau lagoon, located in southern France, suffers episodically from anoxic crises locally known as 'malaïgue'. Such mostly occur under warm conditions, low winds leading to a strong eutrophication of the lagoon. development sulphur bacterium sometimes gives waters 'milky turquoise' appearance and leads shellfish mortality. One indicators status lagoon can be surveyed by chlorophyll product provided remote sensing images such Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS). In this paper we...
Abstract. From 2014 to 2021 during the cyclone seasons, extensive monitoring of hydrodynamics within a variety lagoons New Caledonia was conducted as part PRESENCE project (PRESsures on coral Ecosystems CalEdonia). The is aimed at building an efficient representation land–lagoon–ocean continuum Grande Terre, Caledonia's main island. Overall, coastal physical observations encompassed five different (four which were never before monitored) and least eight major atmospheric events ranging from...
