4. Conclusion
Development of a bioanalytical tool: the Great Scallop + LA-ICP-MS→ Definition of quantitative and chronological trace element profiles along
the calcite shell
→ Methodological approach adaptable to others CaCO3 matrices
Scientific inputs
Trace element profiles in Pecten maximus shells as an archive :• with Ba and Mo of phytoplankton dynamic
Ba → summer total phytoplankton biomass?
Mo → phytoplankton speciation?
• with Mn of particulate riverine inputs and redox processes
Trace element shell profiles → archive of transient events for coastal environment
• Significant and transient Mo shell enrichments during spring diatom blooms → Mo as a conservative behavior in the seawater?
4. Conclusion
1 Analytical development (LCABIE)Improvement of the detection limits, of the analysis time (programmation) → use of
femtosecond laserIsotopic measurement (tracer of biogeochemical processes?) → use of femtosecond
laser coupled with a multi collector (MC) ICP-MS.
2 Biological model (LEMAR)
Fossile or historical shells;
Others species:
• Argopecten purpuratus (Chile)
• Comptopallium radula (New Caledonia)
• Polar species (Antartica)
