Abstract:
The research carried out within the Biology of Marine Organisms and Biomimetics unit focuses on three main axes: (1) socio-ecological aquaculture, (2) symbiosis and diseases and (3) biological materials and biomimetics. ‘Socio-ecologic aquaculture’ research addresses issues on aquacultures, particularly sea cucumber, algae and coral aquacultures, of which certain stages can be managed by poor coastal communities. Historically, the group experienced great success with the development of sea cucumber aquaculture and most of their aquaculture related publications deal with this subject. Particular interest has been paid to the development of a method to allow cultivation of sea cucumbers in locally managed farms all year round. This method is patented since 2002, which led to the development of Madagascar Holothurie SA in 2008, the first trade company based on sea cucumber aquaculture in Madagascar. In 2013, the group opened the Polyaquaculture Research Laboratory in Madagascar in collaboration with the Halieutic Institute and Marine Science of the University of Toliara.

The ‘symbiosis and diseases’ axis performs research on parasitic, commensal or mutualist relations of marine organisms. The life cycle, etiology and phylogeny of symbiotic prokaryonts and various symbiotic eukaryonts (e.g. ctenarians, flatworms, polychaetes, myzostomids, molluscs, echinoderms, fish) are studied in order to better understand the factors affecting or regulating the symbiotic interactions including those in diseases. A variety of analytic methods are used and include electron microscopy (TEM and SEM), DNA phylogeny and mass spectrometry.

The ‘biological materials and biomimetics’ approach focuses on the different protein-based biomaterials with a special emphasis on adhesion mechanisms developed by marine invertebrates. The aim of this research is to gain a detailed knowledge of biological adhesives in order to develop synthetic counterparts. The adhesive systems of marine organisms differ by their mode of operation, their structure and the characteristics of their adhesive proteins. They are therefore complementary biological models for the study of bioadhesion in the marine environment.

The unit is part of the Interuniversity Center for Marine Biology (CIBIM).
