Facteurs de différenciation de la croissance de l'huître creuse Crassostrea gigas dans les principaux bassins ostréicoles français entre 1990 et 1995

In order to find the global parameters which could explain the growth of Pacific Oyster Crassosrrea gigas. a survey of Pacific Oyster's growth has been done in Brittany from 1990 to 1995 and in France from 1993 to 1995. The analysis shows the positive influence of rain amount on weight grov,th except in eutrophic areas where it is the contrary. It also shows the positive influence of temperature provided it stays within an optimal range. statistically defined. Some characteristics of the production areas have been reviewed without achieving clear explanation of growth differences between sites. Further studies are necessary particularly in hydrodynamics and primary production determinism to progress.
