Two benthic diatoms species, Nitzschia laevis (NL) and 13 Halamphora coffeaeformis (HC), were selected according to their capacity to adhere 14 and to form strong biofilms. They were tested in monocultures and in a mixed biofilm 15 (MIX) that was also tried in combination with Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid, involved in 16 triggering some invertebrate metamorphosis (MIX+GABA). Histamine (HIS) was also 17 used as a treatment according to the high metamorphosis rates that have been recorded 18 for this compound on other sea urchin species. Finally, a natural microphytobenthic 19 biofilm (NATURAL) and oyster shells particles colonized by epiphytic diatoms 20 (SHELL) were sampled from the mud of a refining oyster pond. Batches of 21 days-old 21 larvae were placed on each experimental substrate and their effect was compared to a 22 negative control of filtered sea water (without any treatment; FSW). Metamorphosis rate 23 was daily recorded in each treatment. The sea urchin larvae on substrates NL, 24 NATURAL, GABA+MIX and SHELL showed significantly higher metamorphosis 25 rates than larvae on the other treatments ( P < 0.001), reaching more than 90% in 72h. -1- 26 Survival rate was assessed at 10 days post-metamorphosis in these four treatments. No 27 difference was observed between them in terms of metamorphosis rate or survival rate 28 (more than 60% for the four experimental substrates). Results demonstrate that the 29 transition from planktonic larvae to benthic juvenile could be promoted through diatom- 30 based biofilms. These substrates represent efficient metamorphosis inducers for P. 31 lividus larviculture but we suggest to use preferably N. laevis biofilms in order to 32 promote practical and safe solutions for farmers. 33 Keywords: aquaculture diversification; echinoculture; Nitzschia laevis ; metamorphosis 34 rate; post-settlement survival rate 35 Introduction 36 Sea urchin roes are considered as a delicacy and they are among the most valued sea 37 food products. Sea urchin become highly trendy due to their unique taste and the spread 38 of Japanese food around the globe. The leading country in consumption of sea urchins is 39 Japan followed by France, the first market in Europe (Stefánsson et al., 2017). To fulfil 40 this demand, wild populations have been overexploited worldwide leading to a decline 41 since the 90’s (Ceccherelli et al., 2011; Couvray et al., 2015; McBride, 2005). Beyond 42 the economic impact, this depletion has ecological implications as sea urchins have a 43 key role in the infra-littoral rocky shore areas (Giakoumi et al., 2012; Kitching and 44 Thain, 1983; Privitera et al., 2011; Scheibling, 1986). 45 To deal with overexploitation, echinoculture of several species has been developed 46 worldwide (Andrew et al., 2002): for exemple Paracentrotus lividus in Europe, 47 Loxechinus albus in Chile, Strongylocentrotus spp. in China or S. depressus , S. 48 intermedius and S. nudus in Japan. In Europe, certain constraints remain to be solved for -2- 49 a sustainable and cost-effective industry, notably in the phase of transition between 50 planktonic larvae to a benthic juvenile (Grosjean et al., 1998). Settlement, 51 metamorphosis and post-metamorphosis survival rates are still not high enough to 52 produce juveniles in hatcheries at an industrial-scale (Carbonara et al., 2018; Hannon et 53 al., 2017; Zupo et al., 2018). Researches have been conducted on several sea urchin 54 species to find reliable metamorphosis-inducing-factors for this crucial development 55 stage. Various levels of success have been shown with different species of algae 56 (Carbonara et al., 2018; Castilla-Gavilán et al., 2018b; De la Uz et al., 2013), diatoms 57 and bacterial biofilms (Ab Rahim et al., 2004; Brundu et al., 2016; Dworjanyn and 58 Pirozzi, 2008; Rial et al., 2018; Xing et al., 2007; Zupo et al., 2018), conspecifics 59 (Dworjanyn and Pirozzi, 2008; Gosselin and Jangoux, 1996), and chemical compounds 60 (Carbonara et al., 2018; Pearce and Scheibling, 1990; Swanson et al., 2012). It seems 61 that the most successful metamorphosis-inducing signals are microbial biofilms, 62 whether or not they are linked to the surface of seaweed thalli or inorganic surfaces such 63 as rocks or shells (Hadfield and Paul, 2001). Recent studies have shown the 64 metamorphosis induction effect of benthic diatoms on the culture of P. lividus , 65 obtaining high settlement and survival rates (Rial et al., 2018; Zupo et al., 2018). This 66 zootechnics are also largely used in Japan, China and Chile for sea urchin production in 67 plates covered by natural benthic diatoms biofilms (Ab Rahim et al., 2004; Hagen, 68 1996; McBride, 2005; Rahman et al., 2014; Takahashi et al., 2002; Xing et al., 2007). 69 Moreover, neurotransmitters have been shown to regulate developmental transition in 70 sea urchins, as histamine (Sutherby et al., 2012; Swanson et al., 2012, 2004) and 71 Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) (Pearce and Scheibling, 1990; Rahman and 72 Uehara, 2001). -3- 73 The main objective of the present study was to compare the effect of different inducing 74 cues on the metamorphosis of Paracentrotus lividus and to identify those that could be 75 of easy and cheap application. We tested histamine and GABA, two benthic diatoms 76 (Halamphora coffeaeformis and Nitzschia laevis ), a natural benthic biofilm and oyster 77 shells colonized by epiphytic diatoms. 78 Materials and Methods 79 Hatchery of sea urchin larvae 80 Larvae of P. lividus were raised in the Benth’Ostrea Prod aquaculture farm (Bouin, 81 Vendée, France). They were fed on a combined diet consisting of three microalgae 82 species: Isochrysis aff. galbana (clone T-ISO), Rhodomonas sp. and Dunaliella 83 tertiolecta (Castilla-Gavilán et al., 2018a). Larvae were reared in continuous dark at a 84 density of 1 per ml, in 2-m3 conical PVC tanks filled with aerated seawater. A complete 85 water exchange and a thorough cleaning of the tanks were carried out every day. Prior 86 to the experiment, pre-competent larvae were transferred to the laboratory and kept at 87 the same density in an aerated 5 L glass reactor balloon, until competence was achieved. 88 Competence was considered when 75% of larvae had a developed rudiment that was 89 equal or larger than the stomach, as proposed by Kelly et al. (2000). 90 Experimental treatments 91 The chosen treatments for P. lividus competent larvae recruitment assay (see next 92 section) were: 93 - Nitzschia laevis biofilm (NL) 94 - Halamphora coffeaeformis biofilm (HC) 95 - Mix biofilm of both N. laevis and H. coffeaeformis (MIX) -4- 96 - Natural biofilm sampled from refining oyster ponds (NATURAL) 97 - Broken oyster shells 10 g (SHELL) 98 - Histamine 10 -6 M (HIS) 99 - GABA 10 -3 M (GABA) 100 - GABA 10 -3 M + Mix biofilm of both N. laevis and H. coffeaeformis 101 (GABA+MIX) 102 - Control of filtered seawater (FSW) 103 The diatoms N.
