Croissance de Crassostrea gigas en Bretagne en 1989, mise en place d'un reseau d'acquisition de donnees

To provide updated information on the growth of Crassostrea gigas in Brittany, experimental stations on 8 sites (culture area) were monitored. Biometric measurements (length, width,...), meat composition (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates...), quality, survival and parasitism were observed after 7 months. A descriptive study by principal components analysis was conducted to find the most significative variables explaining the variability and classifying the sites. Six groups of station can be identified by their respective performances that have been screened in detail. An optimal strategy was discussed to establish a most efficient data network in Brittany. The yearly variations will be checked up and their correlations with environmental factors tested (meteorology, drainage basin, agriculture activity...).
