Abstract

<strong class="journal-contentHeaderColor">Abstract.</strong> As part of the HIPPO (HIgh-resolution Primary Production multi-prOxy archives) project, an environmental monitoring was carried out between March and October 2021 in the Bay of Brest. The aim of this survey was to better understand the processes which drive the incorporation of chemical elements into scallop shells and their links with phytoplankton dynamics. For this purpose, biological samples (scallops and phytoplankton) as well as water samples were collected in order to analyse various environmental parameters (element chemical properties, nutrients, chlorophyll, etc.). Here, some of the monitoring data are presented and discussed. The whole dataset is much larger and can potentially be very useful for other scientists performing sclerochronological investigations, studying biogeochemical cycles or conducting various ecological research projects.
