BoulognesurMer, Hauts-de-France Ifremer - French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea Temps plein

du poste et MissionsDeadline : 31st August, 2024.The principal challenges of the Channel and North Sea Fisheries Research Unit (HMMN) are to analyse and predict the dynamics of fisheries, marine ecosystems and their biodiversity under pressure from fishing, global change and emerging uses, and to evaluate management strategies to assure their sustainability and conservation.

The HMMN Unit is structured around three major research themes:
(1)

Individuals, populations and ecological niches, (2) Communities, trophic networks and biodiversity and (3) Fleets, fisheries and management scenarios, sharing observation tools
  • Observations on land and at sea, Sclerochronology National Centre, the Zooplankton Taxonomy and Ecology Centre, the Trophic Networks Platform, and the CREDO cell.
Under the authority of the head of the HMMN Unit, within the fisheries laboratory of Boulogne-sur
  • Mer, he / she is in charge of research carried out in marine resource and ichthyoplankton ecology within the framework of the State-Region CPER_IDEAL Planning Contract (Integrated approach to marine and littoral challenges).
This research is part of Theme 1 (Individuals, Populations and Ecological Niches) and Theme 2 (Communities, Trophic Networks and Biodiversity) of the HMMN Unit, in close relation with the work carried out within the Sclerochronology National Centre, the Trophic Ecology Platform, and the Zooplankton Taxonomy and Ecology Centre.
General areas of responsibilityA number of hypotheses and complex processes can be studied with in-situ observations.

Due to the complexity of the natural marine environment, surveys at sea and field studies do not always make it possible to precisely identify and isolate the causes of change observed in wild populations.

Sclerochronological analyses of growth and microchemistry of captured fish otoliths, in combination with measures of individual fish condition and temporally explicit environmental and ecological data, however, allow the reconstruction of the responses to temperatures experienced, along with relationships to the relevant periods for environmental and ecological indices, such as productivity.

These temporally explicit analyses offer the possibility of identifying and assessing the effects of environmental change on the production of larval herring, with implications for stock-recruitment and for ecosystem models.

The principal goals of this post-doctorate are to investigate issues of fishery and ichthyoplankton ecology; in particular, through the understanding of the response mechanisms of individuals and populations of exploited wild fish to global change, in interaction with different components of the ecosystem.

This study aims to improve knowledge of the early life stages of ecologically and economically structural fish species in the Eastern Channel, and will be based on results from wild-caught larval fish (herring, Clupea harengus) over the several years.

By investigating the responses of larval fish to temporally explicit environmental conditions over time, this study aims to, (1) investigate metabolic, growth and production responses to experienced temperatures and productivity, (2) illustrate the ranges of these responses and plasticity of herring larvae to variable climatic conditions.

The objective for the obtained results will be at least one publication, and should be presented at international conferences.
Principal activitiesMany potential research avenues are envisaged for this post-doctorate; the candidate's inclination towards each will depend on their experience and creativity:
Study the effects of global change on larval growth via analyses of daily growth increments of otoliths within and between years (sclerochronology);Study the effects of global change on the metabolic rate of larval fish within and between years in relation to the experienced temperatures (stable isotope analyses);Relate the measures of growth, metabolic rate, larval fish condition, and experienced temperatures, along with indices of ecosystem productivity to predict the consequences for larval herring production
