Abstract:
Recent studies have shown that underwater sound emanating from coastal reefs may be used for guiding the movements of a wide range of reef organisms to suitable settlement habitats. However, it is not known whether this underwater sound is also capable of mediating the settlement and metamorphosis processes in these organisms. The present study used laboratory- and field-based methods to determine whether ambient underwater sound is used as a settlement and metamorphosis cue in 10 species of larval crabs. The settlement stage larvae of five common crab species showed marked changes in swimming behaviour consistent with settlement and showed a significant decrease in time to metamorphosis (TTM) when exposed to replayed ambient reef sound compared with a silent control. Ambient underwater sound has the potential to convey valuable information about the type and suitability of the habitat at its source to settlement stage pelagic larvae provided different habitats produce distinctive underwater sound. Analyses of recordings from several different habitat types along the coast of north-eastern New Zealand showed that the sound emanating from different habitat types had marked differences in terms of gross character, i.e., spectral composition and sound level. When habitat specific sounds were used in laboratory- and field-based experiments a significant decrease in TTM was observed for settlement stage crab larvae exposed to favourable settlement habitat sound when compared to unfavourable habitats. Behavioural thresholds for habitat sound were determined experimentally by exposing settlement stage larvae to a range of sound levels from both favourable and unfavourable habitat types for settlement. Larvae did not respond to sound from unfavourable habitat types. However, for sound from favourable habitat types for settlement most crab species showed increasing reductions in TTM as sound levels were increased, suggesting that proximity to the sound source or settlement habitat is important in inducing faster settlement. The results presented in this thesis demonstrate that ambient underwater sound originating from coastal habitats mediates the settlement processes of the megalopae of many common coastal crab species in both temperate and tropical waters. It provides evidence that differences in the spatial and biological characteristics of underwater sound play a significant role in this process. Overall, the results of this research greatly extend our knowledge of the importance of underwater sound to recruitment processes of coastal larvae.<br>Whole document restricted until August 2012, but available by request, use the feedback form to request access.

Neste trabalho abordamos, no primeiro artigo, o desenvolvimento larval, proporções corporais e subsídios para diferenciar a larva nas fases iniciais de desenvolvimento das suas congenéricas. No segundo artigo avaliamos as modificações, ao longo do espaço e do tempo, com relação à abundância, proporção sexual, tamanho de primeira maturação, comprimento médio, relação peso/comprimento, e atividade reprodutiva. Em relação às larvas, inicialmente a pigmentação era escassa e intensificou-se com o desenvolvimento. O comprimento padrão variou de 2,6 a 13,11mm e os miômeros de 34-50. A espécie apresentou alometria negativa do comprimento da cabeça, altura do corpo, distância pré-dorsal e distância pré-anal em relação ao comprimento padrão e altura da cabeça, comprimento do focinho e diâmetro do olho em relação a comprimento da cabeça, e as estruturas corporais em todas as fases larvais de desenvolvimento são cartilaginosas. Foram capturados na totalidade 9.204 indivíduos, em quatros locais diferentes de coletas em 9 (nove) etapas. Evidenciou que a população de P.britskii, por diferentes etapas e locais, apresentou diferença significativa em seus parâmetros populacionais. A maior abundância (CPUE) ocorreu na etapa I e na estação de coleta Cavernoso (Cav). O comprimento médio da população variaram 15,5±6,2 cm, sendo os indivíduos maiores capturados na Etapa III e na estação de coleta Iate Clube Candói (Iat). O crescimento foi alométrico negativo, como o melhor fator de condição (K), encontrado na etapa III e na estação Iat, como ocorreu também para o comprimento médio. O índice de atividade reprodutiva (IAR), na escala temporal foram mais intenso na etapa I e no espaço na estação Cav. E em relação a diferentes estações de coleta, foram mais intenso nas estações quente (verão) e praticamente nulo na estações mais frias (outono). Considerando estes resultados podemos inferir que a população apresenta tendência à estabilização.<br>Pimelodus britskii, an endemic species of Iguaçu River basin, has scarce studies involving ontogenetic development and population parameters. So studies involving these characters are of great importance to take protection e conservation measures. This study presents, in the first paper, body proportions and subsidies to differ larval initial developing phases larval of its congenerics. The second paper evaluated changes, over space and time, related to abundancy , sexual proportion, first maturation size, medium lengh , weight /size relation and productive activity. The larvae initially pigmentation was scarce and intensified with the development, the standard length ranged from 2.6 to 13.11mm and myomeres from 34-50. The findings showed negative head length allometry, body height, predorsal length and pre-anal distance from the standard length and head height, snout length and diameter of the eye in relation to head length and structures in all larval stages of development are cartilaginous. 9.204 individuals were captured in nine years in four different collection places. It showed that the population of P.britskii, through different stages and places significant difference in their population parameters. The highest abundance (CPUE), occurred in stage I and Cavernous collection station (Cav). The average length of the population ranged 15.5 ± 6.2 cm, with the largest individuals caught in Stage III and gathering station Candói Yacht Club (Iat). The allometric growth was negative as the best condition factor (K) found in step III and Iat station as also observed for the mean length. The reproductive activity index (IAR), the temporal scale were more intense in stage I and space in Cav station. And in relation to different collection stations were more intense in the warm seasons (summer) and virtually nil in colder seasons (autumn). Considering these results we can conclude that the population has a tendency to stabilize.

Abstract:
I conducted a 12-month study of near-shore habitats in Lake Pontchartrain to assess spatiotemporal variation in the abundance of early life stage blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus). Collections were made using a 1 m2 throw trap and data showed that C. sapidus numbers varied over time and among sites. Two recruitment events occurred during the study. During the first recruitment in May-June, C. sapidus entered Lake Pontchartrain via the Inner Harbor Navigational Canal. In September-October, C. sapidus entered the Lake Pontchartrain via the Rigolets and Chef passes. My data suggest that C. sapidus utilize water circulation within the Lake Pontchartrain as a means of transportation throughout the estuary. MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 250 m data were analyzed to gain a large-scale view of suspended sediments patterns within Lake Pontchartrain and quantify water movement. Field sampling along with remote sensing proved to be beneficial when assessing estuarine-wide C. sapidus post-larval dispersal processes.

Abstract:
Les huîtres présentent un cycle de vie en deux phases : les larves pélagiques s’adhérent avant de se métamorphoser pour une vie benthique.L’adhésion larvaire se fait au stade pédivéligère par sécrétion d’un bioadhésif produit par un organe spécialisé : le pied. Bien que l’huître Crassostrea gigas soit un organisme d’importance économique et écologique, et un modèle d’étude en biologie marine, le phénomène d’adhésion chez la larve pédivéligère est peu documenté. Une étude morphologique des larves pédivéligères par histologie et microscopie électronique a été réalisée, afin de décrire les glandes responsables de la sécrétion de l’adhésif. Une composition majoritairement protéique de l’adhésif a été révélée par histochimie et spectroscopie FTIR.Une analyse in silico des données transcriptomiques disponibles chez C. gigas a permis d’identifier des gènes probablement impliqués dans l’adhésion.Deux analyses protéomiques, menées sur les larves entières et l’adhésif sécrété ont permis de caractériser des protéines en lien avec la biosynthèse et la structure de l’adhésif. Une protéine de type collagène apparaît impliquée dans la structure de l’adhésif de C. gigas. Cette première approche de l’étude de l’adhésion de C. gigas, permet d’envisager la valorisation biotechnologique des molécules identifiées. Le développement d’adhésifs biomimétiques, élaborés sur le principe des bioadhésifs marins, autoriserait le collage en milieu humide, et serait une alternative aux adhésifs synthétiques qui malgré leur toxicité, dominent le marché mondial<br>Oysters show a two-phase life cycle: pelagic larvae adhere before metamorphosis into benthic life. Larval adhesion occurs at the pediveliger stage by secretion of a bioadhesive produced by a specialized organ: the foot. The oyster Crassostrea gigas is an organism of economic and ecological importance, and a model for study in marine biology, but the phenomenon of adhesion in the pediveliger larvae is poorly documented. A morphological description of the pediveliger larvae by histology and electron microscopy was performed to describe the glands responsible for the secretion of the adhesive.A predominantly proteinaceous composition of the adhesive was revealed by histochemistry and FTIR spectroscopy. An in silico analysis of available transcriptomic data from C. gigas was made to identify genes probably involved in adhesion. Two proteomic analyses, performed on whole larvae and on the secreted adhesive, characterizing proteins related to biosynthesis and adhesive structure. A collagen-like protein appears to be involved in the adhesive structure of C. gigas. This first approach to the study of the adhesion of C. gigas makes it possible to consider the biotechnological enhancement of the identified molecules. Despite their toxicity, synthetic adhesives dominate the world market. The development of biomimetic adhesives, based on marine bioadhesive strategies could be an alternative, and allowing furthermore bonding in wet condition
