Christel Lefrançois

Christel Lefrançois is a Lecturer at the University of La Rochelle, France, affiliated with the CNRS scientific institute INEE. She conducts research in fish eco-physiology, bioenergetics, and predator-prey interaction kinematics, focusing on physiological and behavioral responses to environmental stressors like temperature shifts, oxygen variation, and pollutant exposure.

• Academic Rank: Lecturer
• Institution: University of La Rochelle

Her work spans marine environmental toxicology, climate change impacts on aquatic organisms, and nutritional ecology, particularly omega-3 fatty acid availability. She explores how environmental modifications affect fish metabolism, locomotion, and microbial communities, with recent studies on sunscreen pollution and heatwaves.

Analysis of her 15 most recent articles reveals trends in marine pollution, climate adaptation, and nutritional constraints affecting fish physiology. Topics include UV filter contamination, omega-3 deficiency impacts, and microbiota disruption from chemical exposure.

Her full portfolio includes collaborations across France and international institutions, with publications in journals like Marine Environmental Research, Aquatic Toxicology, and Journal of Experimental Biology, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to environmental challenges.
