2000

Commercial fish landing at Abu Qir and Alanfoushy markets was the source of Siganus rivulatus and Siganus luridus sampled for food and feeding habits analysis. Food indices and food content were studies in stomach analyses of 1485 fishes

In this study, surface seawater, sediment and zooplankton samples were collected from three different sampling stations in Marseille Bay (NW Mediterranean Sea) and were analyzed for both microplastics and organic plastic additives including seven phthalates (PAEs) and nine organophosphate esters (OPEs). PAE concentrations ranged from 100 to 527 ng L⁻¹ (mean 191 ± 123 ng L⁻¹) in seawater, 12–610 ng g⁻¹ dw (mean 194 ± 193 ng g⁻¹ dw) in sediment and 0.9–47 μg g⁻¹ dw (mean 7.2 ± 10 μg g⁻¹ dw) in zooplankton, whereas OPE concentrations varied between 9 and 1013 ng L⁻¹ (mean 243 ± 327 ng L⁻¹) in seawater, 13–49 ng g⁻¹ dw (mean 25 ± 11 ng g⁻¹ dw) in sediment and 0.4–4.6 μg g⁻¹ dw (mean 1.6 ± 1.0 μg g⁻¹ dw) in zooplankton. Microplastic counts in seawater ranged from 0 to 0.3 items m⁻³ (mean 0.05 ± 0.05 items m⁻³). We observed high fluctuations in contaminant concentrations in zooplankton between different sampling events. However, the smallest zooplankton size class generally exhibited the highest PAE and OPE concentrations. Field-derived bioconcentration factors (BCFs) showed that certain compounds are prone to bioaccumulate in zooplankton, including some of the most widely used chlorinated OPEs, but with different intensity depending on the zooplankton size-class. The concentration of plastic additives in surface waters and the abundance of microplastic particles were not correlated, implying that they are not necessarily good indicators for each other in this compartment. This is the first comprehensive study on the occurrence and temporal variability of PAEs and OPEs in the coastal Mediterranean based on the parallel collection of water, sediment and differently sized zooplankton samples.

L'impact de la moule mediterraneenne (Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck) sur les flux de matiere particulaire dans la colonne d'eau a ete mesure au laboratoire pour differentes vitesses de courant. Les experiences en laboratoire dans un canal a courant montrent qu'a 20 degres C, le taux de filtration augmente avec la vitesse de courant jusqu'a des vitesses de courant de 20 a 25 cm/s. Le taux de filtration reste semblable a 26 degres C. Lorsque la concentration phytoplanctonique dans la colonne d'eau est elevee (8 500-11 000 cell/mL de Cryptomonas sp., Cryptophyceae), les taux de filtration sont faibles (0,2 0,4 L/h pour un individu standard de 1 g de poids sec). Des taux de filtration plus eleves (0,5-2,5 L/h pour un individu standard) sont observes avec des concentrations phytoplanctoniques plus faibles (1 300-5 800 cell/mL de Prorocentrum minimum, Dinophyceae). Ainsi, les taux de filtration mesures pour Mytilus galloprovincialis varient avec la charge phytoplanctonique et avec la vitesse du courant. Ces resultats suggerent que les moules mediterraneennes, provenant d'un milieu ou les variations de charges sestoniques et de vitesses de courant sont de grande amplitude, ont de grandes capacites d'adaptation
