Comparative effects of trace metal elements released from dissolution of aluminum-based galvanic anodes, aluminum chloride, zinc chloride, and their mixture on the development of the Pacific oyster D-larvae, Crassostrea gigas
As the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust, aluminum (Al) is used in many sectors, and nowadays, there is an increase in anthropogenic releases to aquatic ecosystems. This is particularly true in the cont...

Impact assessment of metals realeased by aluminium-based galvanic anode on the physiology of the abalone Haliotis tuberculata in controlled conditions
To protect metal structures immersed in the sea from corrosion, the galvanic anode cathodic protection system (GACP) is often applied. However, this association leads to continuous oxidation of the galvanic an...

Effects on Growth of Juvenile Abalones Haliotis tuberculata Under Chronic Exposition to Metals Released from the Dissolution of an Aluminium-Based Galvanic Anode
In the marine environment, the galvanic anode cathodic protection system (GACP) undergoes oxidation and releases metals in the forms of ions or oxy-hydroxides into the environment. The objective of the present...

Sub-chronic exposure to fluoxetine in juvenile oysters (Crassostrea gigas): uptake and biological effects
The bioconcentration potential of fluoxetine (FLX) and its biological effects were investigated in juvenile Pacific oyster exposed for 28 days to environmentally relevant concentrations of FLX (1 ng L−1, 100 ng L

Comparison of the sensitivity of seven marine and freshwater bioassays as regards antidepressant toxicity assessment
The hazards linked to pharmaceutical residues like antidepressants are currently a major concern of ecotoxicology because they may have adverse effects on non-target aquatic organisms. Our study assesses the e...

Spatio-temporal variations in biological performances and summer mortality of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in Normandy (France)
Mortality and biological performances of half-grown Crassostrea gigas were studied from spring 2000 to autumn 2001 at six instrumented stations located in two areas (Gefosse and Grandcamp) of the Bay of Veys (Nor...

Potamopyrgus antipodarum(Mollusca:Hydrobiidae) in continental aquatic gastropod communities: impact of salinity and trematode parasitism
The structure of gastropod communities was examined from January to June 1999 in four sites of the streams of Mont Saint-Michel Bay along a gradient of salinity, and the occurrence of larval trematodes infecti...

Biodiversity of aquatic gastropods in the Mont St-Michel basin (France) in relation to salinity and drying of habitats
Seventy-seven polder and marsh stations were sampled for aquatic and riparian gastropods in the terrestrial basin of Mont St-Michel from March 1994–March 1995 and during a drought in 1996. In addition, four po...

Relationship between freshwater gastropods and plant communities reflecting various trophic levels
Plant communities were examined in ponds in Brittany (north-west France) and then classified into six types reflecting different trophic levels: oligotrophic, oligodystrophic, mesotrophic, meso-dystrophic, mes...
