A cause de certaines activités anthropiques, ces forêts ont déjà disparu dans de nombreuses localités et sont en train de régresser dans d'autres. Elles ont été (sont) généralement remplacées par des habitats structurellement moins complexes de type brousse, gazon ou désert. Cette thèse a visé à estimer les possibles conséquences pour les poissons de la régression des forêts à Cystoseira et à identifier les processus écologiques en cause. Plusieurs approches complémentaires ont été employées : inventaires de macroalgues et de poissons, expériences de prédation et de sélection d'habitats en aquarium, analyses de composions isotopiques et de contenus stomacaux. Les densités de poissons proie et prédateur étaient plus importantes dans les forêts à Cystoseira que dans les habitats structurellement moins complexes. Cela peut résulter, au moins en partie, du rôle "refuge" de Cystoseira spp. qui induit (1) une plus faible mortalité des poissons proies et prédateurs dans les forêts, due à une plus grande disponibilité en abris et en nourriture, respectivement, (2) une immigration nette des poissons dans les forêts due à leur préférence pour cet habitat structurellement complexe. De plus, Cystoseira spp. pourrait être une importante source de matière organique pour l'écosystème. Ce potentiel rôle "trophique" mérite des études complémentaires. Ce travail suggère que la régression des forêts à Cystoseira est néfaste pour les poissons et souligne donc la nécessité de mieux gérer les activités humaines impactant Cystoseira spp..

Due to anthropogenic stressors, Cystoseira forests disappeared from numerous localities in the Mediterranean Sea and are deteriorating in other localities. Cystoseira forests are usually replaced by structurally less complex habitats, such as shrublands, turfs and barrens. This PhD aimed to assess putative consequences for fish of Cystoseira forest degradation, and to identify the underlying ecological processes. Multiple complementary approaches were used: macroalgae and fish field surveys, tank-based predation and habitat-choice experiments, stable isotopes and stomach contents analyses. Densities of prey and predatory fish were higher in Cystoseira forests compared to structurally less complex habitats. This may be due to the shelter role of Cystoseira spp. that induces (1) reduced mortality of prey and predatory fish in forests, due to high shelter and food availability, respectively, and (2) net immigration of fish into forests due to their preference for this structurally complex habitat. Moreover, Cystoseira spp. may be an important source of organic matter to the ecosystem. This possible trophic role deserves complementary studies. This work suggests that Cystoseira forest degradation are harmful to fish and from this perspective stresses the need to better manage human activities impacting Cystoseira spp..

Fish abundance was significantly related to the basis of depth and temperature. Thamnaconus modestus occurred at depths ranging from 80 to 120 meter waters having temperature higher than 12°C. We found that 87% of the total catch were obtained at the depths between 80 and 120 meters (58% and 29% from 80–100 and 100–120 meters respectively). The total length of captured individuals ranged from 10.6 to 38.7 cm. Individuals captured at deeper were significantly larger than those from shallower sites. Diverse prey organisms, including algae, amphipods, gastropods, ophiuroids, and cephalopods, were found in T. modestus stomach. The main prey items in IRI value belonged to four groups: hyperiid amphipods, gastropods, ophiuroids, and algae. The fish showed ontogenetic diet shifts. In general, individuals in smaller size (< 20 cm) shifted their diets from vegetative food sources to animal ones when they reach the size bigger than 20 cm.
