Sur la prolifération dans la Seine d'une diatomée benthique tropicale : Navicula confervacea (Kütz.) Grunow
The proliferation in the Seine of a tropical benthic diatom : Navicula confervacea (Kütz.) Grunow
Laboratoire d'Hydroécologie, Div. Qual. Eaux, P. Pisc. C.T.G.R.E.F., Paris, Besançon
Une étude des peuplements benthiques de la Seine portant sur plus de 250 échantillons prélevés sur 39 stations échelonnées entre la source et Rouen, a permis de localiser la prolifération d'une diatomée considérée comme "endémique" des régions tropicales, à l'aval immédiat d'une centrale thermique (E.D.F. Porcheville). La morphologie, l'ultrastructure et la répartition géographique sont examinées succinctement. Les données écologiques recueillies à Porcheville, confrontées à celles de la littérature conduisent à considérer Navicula confervacea comme une espèce saprophyte polluorésistante, sténotherme des eaux chaudes (25-31°C).
Abstract
This study of the benthic populations in the Seine was based on more than 250 samples taken at 39 stations which were regularly distributed between the source and Rouen. It was possible to locate the site at which there was proliferation of a benthic diatom, usually considered as "endemic" to the tropics, and this site was immediately downstream from a thermal power station. The morphology, ultrastructure and geographical distribution of this species are briefly examined. The ecological data and the information in the literature suggests that Navicula confervacea is a saprophytic species which is resistant to pollution and a stenotherm in hot water (25-31 °C).
