Study of the impact of the environment on marine species of economic interest in connection with the downstream activities for the valorization of these species.
My research focuses on the study of the impact of the environment on marine species of economic interest. This work concentrates particularly on the downstream activities for the valorization of these species.
I am notably involved with a species of interest for Norman fishing: the whelk (or common whelk). As part of my work, I study the impact of climate change on the spatial distribution of the whelk (Buccinum undatum) in the English Channel through physiological approaches. Previous studies have already highlighted its high sensitivity to thermal changes, with clear impacts on sexual maturation, a decrease in the number of juveniles upon hatching, and an increase in their size. Furthermore, an effect of temperature on the seasonality of landings is proven, with a decline in abundances having been observed in recent years. In this context, my work focuses on the impact of these evolutions on the downstream sector (processing, market, etc.).
