title in English: Ecological study of the epifauna of Ostrea edulis in the Sluice Dock between 1965 and 1966
Description in English: Weekly samples of oysters were taken in the Sluice Dock between 05July 1965 and 06June 1966 for a qualitative and quantitative study of epifauna (focus on Polychaeta) and diatoms on living oysters and empty shelves of Ostrea edulis. Densities of larval stadia of the plankton who will settle on the oysters are noted. Additionally growth is measured for Crepidula fornicata, Polydora ciliata, Balanus improvisus, Mytilus edulis, Magalia perarmata and chains of Crepidula fornicata were studied.
