Dear,
There is a post doc position in the lab to work on the following subject
(starting end of 2019); do not hesitate to diffuse to interested people.
Impact of ocean acidification on the sensory systems of European sea bass
larvae
At early life stages, fish are vulnerable and sensitive to environmental
conditions. After hatching, the larvae of many marine fish species settle
in coastal nurseries. These coastal ecosystems are essential for the growth
and survival of young fish. The nursery areas may be selected by the
organisms according to their needs (e.g. food, physicochemical conditions).
The recruitment of a species depends on the environmental conditions
encountered in coastal ecosystems but also on the ability of fish to detect
and interact with nurseries adapted to their needs. In several fish
species, this ability to select and use their habitats has been shown to
depend on their sensory systems. Recent studies performed in our laboratory
(projects PACIO and FITNESS) indicate that at pH7.6 (realistic scenario of
ocean acidification in 2100), C1qL gene expression is regulated in the
sensory systems of European sea bass larvae. Within the frame of the
present project, we propose to better characterize (i) the larval tropism
with respect to trophic or physicochemical conditions encountered in
nurseries and (ii) the effect of pH on sensory systems that may impact this
tropism, from a mechanistic (study of actors involved in the integration of
sensory signals) or functional (behavioral tests) point of view.
