The NourDem EMFAF 2022 project is a follow-up from NourDem EMFAF 2019-2021, and pursues the same strategy: it consists of carrying out fisheries surveys in the three major French estuaries of the Northeast Atlantic, i.e. the Seine, the Loire and the Gironde, using a large vertical opening trawl specially developed for sampling demersal fish (and in particular sea bass juveniles). The major objectives of this project are: (1) to produce abundance indices of juvenile fish using estuaries as nurseries, and in particular juveniles of European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax; (2) to map the major nurseries within the selected estuaries; and (3) to characterize the "quality" of these estuaries as nurseries. Within this 3rd objective is the characterization of the contamination of sea bass by metallic trace elements and hydrophobic and persistent organic contaminants, both historical and of emerging concern, which are the focus of our research conducted within CCEM.
This work follows the results obtained during the Ifremer funded COCONUt project:
- Christophe Lebigre, Yann Aminot, Catherine Munschy, Mickaël Drogou, RonanLe Goff, Nicolas Briant, Tiphaine Chouvelon (2022). Trace metal elements and organic contaminants are differently related to the growth and body condition of wild European sea bass juveniles. Aquatic Toxicology, Volume 248, July 2022, 106207.
