Caroline FABIOUX

Caroline FABIOUX is a Lecturer at the University of Western Brittany, affiliated with the LEMAR Laboratory. Her research focuses on marine invertebrate physiology, particularly the interaction between bivalves and toxic microalgae, reproduction mechanisms, and development. Key areas include domoic acid depuration in scallops, harmful algal bloom effects on gametes, and microbiota dynamics in bivalve digestive systems.

Her work combines experimental studies on toxin bioaccumulation, environmental stress responses, and the impacts of pollutants like microplastics. Notable contributions include long-term comparative studies on domoic acid depuration in Pecten maximus and modeling approaches to understand toxin metabolism. She also explores antioxidant interventions to mitigate toxin effects and investigates how intertidal zones influence bivalve microbiota.

• Key Projects: EcoATP, HABIS Legacy, MaSCOET, MICROBIV, NANOPLASTICS, Parased, PLAST Drugs, SELPHYC
• Focus Themes: Marine toxicology, aquaculture health, reproductive biology, microbiome dynamics

Publications span over two decades, with recent emphasis on harmful algal species, nanoplastic toxicity, and bioenergetics of toxin depuration. Her research bridges fundamental physiology and applied challenges in coastal ecosystems and shellfish safety.
