Convective regimes induced by surface cooling and topography in stratified waterbodies

Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Tomy Doda, Cintia Luz Ramon Casanas

Gravitational convection plays a significant role in the ventilation, heat and mass distribution of aquatic systems. This study investigates thermally driven convection resulting from heat loss at the air-water interface during cooling periods in freshwate ...

Seasonal and spatial variability of antibiotic resistance genes and Class I integrons in the rivers of the Mekong delta, Vietnam

Pierre Rossi, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Emmanuelle Rohrbach

Aquaculture activities are steadily expanding in Vietnam, covering an estimated 700,000 ha, with 89% of these culture ponds located in the Mekong Delta. Since 2009, large-scale bacterial epidemics have spread in response to this intensive cultivation. Anti ...

Cooperative Multi-Robot Systems for Aquatic Environmental Sensing

Anwar Ahmad Quraishi

Bringing advantages of parallelism and robustness, distributed robotic systems have become an active subject of research since many years. Yet, the progress in that direction with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) has been limited. This project aims at ...

Implementation of a constructed wetland for the sustainable treatment of inland shrimp farming water

Pierre Rossi, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Vincent Jean Jacques Marie Cochevelou

In the Mekong delta, inland-based shrimp breeding requires significant inflow of high-quality freshwater. In turn, discharge of substantial loads of poor-quality effluents negatively impacts adjacent water bodies and favors disease outbreaks. This project ...

Co-culture of microalgae and bacteria for wastewater treatment

Thierry Mounir

To address the problem of insucient wastewater treatment and eutrophication of lakes and rivers, the symbiotic association of microalgae and bacteria has shown great potential and numerous advantages. First, co-cultures can exhibit ecient treatment of dome ...

Modelled effects of prawn aquaculture on poverty alleviation and schistosomiasis control

Andrea Rinaldo, Lorenzo Mari, Francisco Javier Perez Saez, Marino Gatto

Recent evidence suggests that snail predators may aid efforts to control the human parasitic disease schistosomiasis by eating aquatic snail species that serve as intermediate hosts of the parasite. Here, potential synergies between schistosomiasis control ...

Implementation of a constructed wetland for the sustainable treatment of water in shrimp farming activities, Mekong delta, Vietnam

Pierre Rossi, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Vincent Jean Jacques Marie Cochevelou

In the Mekong delta, inland-based shrimp breeding is a profitable activity requiring significant inflow of high quality freshwater. In turn, discharge of substantial loads of poor quality effluents causes salinization and eutrophication of adjacent water b ...

Towards sustainable, antibiotic-free shrimp farming in the Mekong delta, Vietnam

Vincent Jean Jacques Marie Cochevelou

The context of the present project is the reduction of the dispersal of ARGs into the environment issued from shrimp culture basins in the Mekong Delta, Viet Nam. Bacterial resistances to ABs are generated by the indiscriminate use of these compounds for f ...
