Ecological effects of aquaculture on living and non-living suspended fractions of the water column: a meta-analysis.
2006
The effects of aquaculture on the ecology of the water column have been extensively studied in the last two decades. However, to date, it has not been possible to extrapolate homogeneous information from the peer-reviewed literature. In the present study, 68 peer-reviewed articles were analysed and about 1087 study cases were used to test whether worldwide cultivations of aquatic organisms (shrimps, fish, bivalves and polyculture) have a differential effect on living and non-living fractions of the water column (suspended matter, chlorophyll-a, particulate organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus, bacteria and plankton). Meta-analysis feasibility depends on obtaining an estimate of the effec…
A meta-analysis on the ecological effects of aquaculture on the water column: dissolved nutrients
2007
Environmental effects of aquaculture loadings have often been reviewed descriptively, and thus have not provided quantitative estimates of the overall response in the water column. Meta-analytical reviewing techniques allow the contextualisation of quantitative effects in the domain of current literature. In the present paper, more than 50 peer-reviewed articles were analysed and about 425 study cases used to test whether worldwide cultivations have a differential effect on dissolved nutrient levels. Meta-analysis feasibility depends on obtaining an estimate of the effect size from every study and the most common measure of effect size (Hedges’ d) is the difference between means of controls…
Rearing of sharpsnout seabream (Diplodus puntazzo, Cetti 1777) in a Mediterranean fish farm: monoculture versus polyculture

PSDR 4 : Un programme d’aide a la structuration des filières protéines végétales en Bourgogne-Franche Comté
2016
BAPGEAPSIGESTADAGROSUPINRA; International audience; Afin de répondre aux enjeux actuels (réduction des intrants, circuits courts, changement climatique…) les acteurs chercheurs-professions-politiques de Bourgogne et Franche Comté, engagés sur la production de protéines végétales et leur utilisation en alimentation animale et humaine, ont convenu de construire une action PSDR 4 (Pour et Sur le Développement Régional ) visant le développement et la triple performance économique-environnementale- sociale de cette filière importante pour l'activité de ce territoire. L’ambition de ce programme est de répondre aux principales questions que se posent actuellement les différents acteurs de la filiè…
Comparative morphometrics of sharpsnout seabream (Diplodus puntazzo Cetti, 1777), reared in different conditions
1999
The same genetic stock of sharpsnout seabream (Diplodus puntazzo), cultured in different conditions (lot A, monoculture tank; lot B, monoculture offshore cage; lot C, polyculture tank), was analysed using geometric morphometrics in order to detect changes in shape. Rearing in the offshore cage (lot B) had a significant effect on shape variation when compared to rearing in the two enclosed tanks (A and C). Fish from the tanks show a higher frequency (43.7% in lot A and 37.5% in lot C) of the so-called ‘goitred’ and ‘dorsal flat’ forms, their deformations shown by displacements in the corresponding landmarks of the infraopercular and dorsal areas. In contrast, the so-called ‘belly’ fish were …
Mixed Function Oxidase Activity and Organochlorine Levels in Farmed Sharpsnout Seabream (Diplodus puntazzo) from Two Intensive Aquaculture Facilities
2004
Mixed function oxidase (MFO) activities and organochlorine levels were investigated in liver of farmed sharpsnout seabream bred in two intensive facilities, a sea farm and a land-based farm. The aim of this study is to investigate how different facility locations and breeding conditions might affect fish metabolic capabilities and accumulation of toxic chemicals in farmed sharpsnout seabream. The differences between breeding two or more fish species in the same cage or tank known as polyculture, and monoculture (1 species) were also investigated. The results showed that both facility location (sea and land) as well as breeding systems (polyculture and monoculture) might be responsible for t…
Polyculture as a tool to increase the economic income: a study case in the Gulf of Castellammare
2010
Polyculture is a practice involving integration between organisms of different trophic levels (i.e. fish with low-trophic-level organism like molluscs and/or algae). This paper, reporting on a field experiment carried out during 2004 in the Gulf of Castellammare (South Tyrrhenian), showed that mussels transplanted in areas under fish farm influence grew up better than mussels transplanted far from fish farm. Thus, results pointed out polyculture as a reliable tool for i) increasing local bivalve production, ii) obtaining the reduction of importation from other countries and iii) increasing the environmental sustainability of fish aquaculture.
Traque et caractérisation de systèmes de culture innovants intégrant des légumineuses en Bourgogne - Franche-Comté : produire et partager des connais…
2021
National audience; La diversification des cultures dans les systèmes agricoles par l’introduction de légumineuses est un levier essentiel pour bénéficier des services écosystémiques, et tendre vers une durabilité des systèmes (Tibi and Therond, 2017). Mais les surfaces dédiées aux cultures de légumineuses restent encore très limitées, du fait de nombreux obstacles (Meynard et al., 2018). Cependant, quelques agriculteurs cultivent, avec satisfaction, ces espèces. Cette étude s’est appuyée sur une traque aux innovations en ferme (Salembier et al., 2016) en Bourgogne - Franche-Comté, afin de repérer et caractériser des manières réussies d’insérer et de conduire des légumineuses dans des systèm…

The management of crop-livestock systems at a territory level: the example of grain legume crops and of monogastric livestock in Burgundy, France
2012
Although cereals and oil seed crops are very developed in Burgundy, the area of grain legumes cultivation is small. Concerning monogastric livestock, the region is characterised by a medium size poultry production focussed on markets under quality and origin signs (SIQO) and a relatively small pig production. Although a tendency of co-location of these productions can be observed (at territory and farm scales) and some animals consume locally-produced proteins, there is no strong functional link between these crops and animal activities. This situation is confirmed by the fact that a significant proportion of produced grain legumes are exported by Burgundy, while large quantities of soybean…
