This dataset presents the resulting assessment grid (based on the EEA reference grid) with the classification of chemical status of the transitional, coastal and marine waters in the context of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). This classification has been performed using the CHASE+ tool, with classifications of the matrices ‘water’, ‘sediment’ and ‘biota’ and indicators of ‘biological effects’, as well as an integrated classification of chemical status, combining results of all matrices. The chemical status is evaluated in five classes, where NPAhigh and NPAgood are recognised as ‘non-problem areas’ and PAmoderate, PApoor and PAbad are recognised as ‘problem areas’. This is the assessment made excluding concentrations of mercury (Hg). The overall area of interest used is based on the marine regions and subregions under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. Additionally, Norwegian (Barent Sea and Norwegian Sea) and Icelandic waters (’Iceland Sea’) have been added (see Surrounding seas of Europe). Note that within the North East Atlantic region only the subregions within EEZ boundaries (~200 nm) have been included. This dataset underpins the findings and cartographic representations published in the report "Contaminants in Europe's Seas" (EEA, 2019).

In European sea bass like in other animals, the tongue plays a fundamental role in the mechanics of food ingestion. It is composed from the surface in depth of mucosa, submucosa, musculature and fibro cartilaginous skeleton. The tunica mucosa exhibits a stratified epithelium interrupted by numerous teeth differently distributed that erupt more or less completely from the layers below. The European sea bass tongue is composed of canine-like teeth, surrounded by taste buds and numerous fungiform and conical papillae. The tongue beeing directly in contact with external environment, the success of the adaptation of fishes to different environments in the context of global change, depends oamong other on the modifications occurring on the tongue structures. The present study investigates the potential effect of ocean acidification on the lingual transcriptome.

scRNA-seq reads from a Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) hemocyte preparation. Hemocytes were isolated from a unique immunologically naive animal (Ifremer Standardized Animal, 18 months) and single-cell drop-seq technology was applied to 3,000 individual hemocytes.

Première utilisation du sol, devant l'agriculture et loin devant l'urbanisme, la forêt couvre 45 % du territoire aquitain. La région se caractérise par la domination d'une essence, le pin maritime. Celui-ci couvre plus de la moitié de la surface forestière régionale. Outre sa valeur patrimoniale, cette forêt génère une activité économique qui représente environ 3 milliards d'euros. Ce secteur forêt-bois est donc un formidable gisement d'emplois, principalement en milieu rural. Cet espace occupé par la forêt attise néanmoins des convoitises pour différents types d'usage: l'urbanisation, les installations photovoltaïques ou encore l'agriculture.

The project was designed to explore biological rhythms in the hydrothermal vent mussel Bathymodiolus azoricus. The experiment provides the first high-resolution temporal transcriptomes of an hydrothermal species, both in situ and in the laboratory.

Successive infections with Vibrio harveyi were conducted in two populations of the European abalone in order to examine which genes may be involved in improved survival to the disease in the St. Malo population.

Effets de la pollution atmosphérique industrielle sur la population de la presqu'île d'Ambès (ERS)

This dataset is the coastal zone land surface region from Europe, derived from the coastline towards inland, as a series of 10 consecutive buffers of 1km width each. The coastline is defined by the extent of the Corine Land Cover 2018 (raster 100m) version 20 accounting layer. In this version all Corine Land Cover pixels with a value of 523, corresponding to sea and oceans, were considered as non-land surface and thus were excluded from the buffer zone.
