Abstract
Eighty-one bacterial strains associated with the rearing of marine bivalve larvae have been isolated from different origins: unicellular algal cultures; filtered sea water; unhealthy larvae; Mytilus edulis spawn, and contaminating strains from the laboratory atmosphere. The ecological, biochemical and nutritional characteristics and the sensitivity to antibiotics of these strains have been studied with the aid of 115 tests. This population appears to be similar to comparable populations studied by other authors. However, complementary studies taking into account the quantitative and qualitative variations of each source of bacterial contamination have been shown to be necessary, and are now in progress. When complete, more efficient bacterial control of the breeding of marine bivalve larvae will be possible.
