ROPER PH.D. 1980 VOL.1: TEXT , BEST COpy . , .AVAILABLE . Variable print quality ABSTRACT A completely new 11thological classification is made of the Lannilis Metamorphic Complex and the Plouguerneau Mi~atites, which lie south and North respectively of the Porspoder Lineament in the north-west Pays de Leon. The sequence of metamorphic, magmatic and tectonic episodes is analysed and a correlation between the two complexes is suggested. The metasedimentary Iithologies are thought to be derived from Brioverian semi-peli tes, and the meta-igneous rocks from post-Brioverian intrusions. The later granitic rocks associated with the Plouguerneau Migmatites are described and classified in detail for the first time. The structures which define the Porspoder Lineament itself are also described. This feature may have originally been an intra-continental fault of transform type. Existing geochronological data and new K-Ar mineral dates are used to fit the geological evidence from the NW Pays de Leon to the absolute time scale. The importance of the Hercynian orogeny is emphasised; the main metamorphism and migmatisation are attributed to the Bretonic (Devono-Carboniferous) phase.

The Ushant Front is the 22 dominant oceanographic feature in the Iroise Sea (NE Atlantic) during summer, separating warm 23 stratified offshore waters from cool vertically-mixed nearshore waters. Mesozooplankton 24 community structure was investigated over an annual cycle to examine relationships with 25 oceanographic conditions. DNA metabarcoding of COI and 18S genes was used in communities 26 from six sites along two cross-shelf transects. Taxonomic assignments of 380 and 296 OTUs (COI 27 and 18S respectively) identified 21 classes across 13 phyla. Meroplankton relative abundances 28 peaked in spring and summer, particularly for polychaete and decapod larvae respectively, 29 corresponding to the reproductive periods of these taxa.

  • Primary Production and Physiological State of Phytoplankton at the Ushant Tidal Front (West Coast of Brittany, France)
    - Vol. 35: 141-151, 1987 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published January 27 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. Primary production and physiological state of phytoplankton at the Ushant tidal front (west coast of Brittany, France) Christiane Videau Laboratoire de Physiologie Vegetale, Universite de Bretagne, Occidentale, F-29287 Brest Cedex, France ABSTRACT: Physical, chemical, and biological parameters relevant to phytoplankton were measured in late summer 1982 across the southern part of the Ushant front. Daily primary production rates (g C m-' d-') increased and assimilation number decreased from the open sea to the frontal zone. However, productivity (mg C [mg Chl a]-' h-') in the frontal upper layers (>10 O/O light surface intensity) was significantly higher than in stratified and transitional waters. Offshore, no dinoflagel- lates but only nanoflagellates were observed, with diatoms (mainly Nitzschia seriata) in more coastal waters. On spring tides, diatoms were widespread over the transitional area, even on the stratified side. Physiological state of the phytoplankton was assessed on the basis of photosynthetic properties, adenylate energy charge, ATP: Chl a and POC: Chl a ratios, and specific growth rates. Physiological activity of nanoflagellates in well-stratified, nutrient-deplete waters was mainly influenced by light level. Physiological state of the diatom populations was not constant over the transitional area, but in the stratified frontal zone was greater in the upper layer. On the mixed side, by contrast, the physiological state of the phytoplankton was lower, particularly as regards light adaptation. INTRODUCTION evaluated across the Ushant front.
