  2. Objectives • Understanding impact of external controls (environmental conditions) on Trace Elements and Isotopes incorporation in bivalve shells  Aquarium experiment • Development of the δD salinity proxy applied to organic matter in bivalve shells  In situ work : Scheldt estuary and Auray river

  3. Aquarium Experiments 1 • Sampling • 05 Feb 07 • Mytilus edulis • knokke • Acclimation • Same temperature and salinity as used for experiment • Experiment • Start 19 Feb 07 • End 30 April 07 Knokke

  4. Juvenile S1 F2 T1 S2 F2 F1 S1 F2 T2 F1 S2 F2 T1 S2 F2 Adult Aquarium Experiments 2 • - Food : Tetracelmis suecica; δ13C=-30‰ • F1=8mgDW/week/org. • F2=16mgDW/week/org. • - Age : Juvenile (<1year) Vs ‘Adult’ (~1 year old) • Temperature • T18°C ; T216°C • Salinity • S228 (sea water) δ18Omean = -0.31 ‰ δ13CDIC = -0,36 ‰ • S118 (diluted water) δ18Omean = -2.85 ‰ δ13CDIC = -0,37 ‰

  5. Temperature ∆L Salinity ∆L Difference statistically very significant Difference statistically significant Difference statistically not significant Aquarium Experiments 3 • Growing (∆L of the shell)

  6. Difference statistically very significant Difference statistically significant Difference statistically not significant Aquarium Experiments 4 • N isotopic composition of mussel tissues • C isotopic composition of mussel tissues

  7. Aquarium Experiments 5 • Carbonate • Sampling with microdrilling 300μm 800μm Drill line 1cm

  8. T1=8°C S2=28 δ180w = -0.31 Wanamaker et al. 2007 T(°C)=16.19-4.69*(δ18Os-δ18Ow)+0.17(δ18Os-δ18Ow)² Adult Adulte δ18Os = 1.20  Tcalc= 9.5 Juvenile Juvenile δ18Os =1.07  Tcalc = 10.0

  9. T2=16°C S2=28 δ18Ow = -0.31 T2S2F2 δ18Os = -0.23  Tcalc = 15.8 T2S2F1 δ18Os = -0.54  Tcalc = 17.3

  10. Problem T2=16°C S1=18 δ18Ow = -2.85 T2S1F2 δ18Os = -0.17  Tcalc = 4.8 T2S1F1 δ18Os = -0.33  Tcalc = 5.5

  11. Aquarium Experiments 6 • Trace Elements (Ba, Sr, Mg, Mn…) • New machine : laser UP193FX(Fast excimer) Merchantec 193nm. coupled to a ICP-MS Thermo X series 2. (Summer 2008)

  12. Scheldt & Auray 1 Ruditapes philippinarum • Sampling BONO OS KN HF 10 km GR LOCMARIAQUER Mytilus edulis 1 km

  13. Scheldt & Auray 2

  14. Scheldt & Auray 3 • δ13C & δ15N from bivalves • Tissues • Shell OM Sea Mytilus edulis Shell organic matrix Ruditapes philippinarum Shell organic matrix Sea

  15. Scheldt & Auray 4 • Lipids • GC-MS • Extraction of total lipids (modified Bligh & Dyer extraction) from bulk shell (without decarbonatation) • Derivatization : Silylation BSTFA 60°C, 30min • Method GC : • Column : DB-5 30m, Ø 0.25mm • 50°C (2min) 300°C (15min) 4°C/min

  16. Mytilus edulis Ruditapes

  17. Me 038 KN Mytilus edulis Fatty acids 19:0 21:0 17:0 Sterols 18:0 15:0 20:0 19:1

  18. Scheldt & Auray 5 In the near future : • GC-MS • Precise identification • Quantitative measurement • GC-IRMS • δ13C measurements • Comparison of δ13C of specific compounds with estuarine gradient

  19. Perspectives • Improvement of Mollusk shell Lipidsextraction : Collaboration project with B. Farre; University Paris Sud; BIOCALC project; EUROCORES Program • Deuterium analyses on specific lipidic compounds in collaboration with Dr. Stefan Schouten, Royal NIOZ
