Jonathan Flye Sainte Marie

Jonathan Flye Sainte Marie is a Lecturer at the Université de Bretagne Occidentale, affiliated with the Institut Universitaire Européen de la Mer (IUEM) and the LEMAR Laboratory. He holds a PhD in Marine Biology from the same university. His research focuses on marine ecology, ecophysiology, and numerical modeling, particularly in bivalve mollusks like scallops and clams. Key themes include hypoxia tolerance, ocean acidification impacts, and pathogen interactions (e.g., Brown Ring Disease).

His work integrates experimental and field studies with bioenergetic models (Dynamic Energy Budget theory) to predict organism responses to environmental stressors. Notable projects include studies on Peruvian scallop (Argopecten purpuratus) physiology under hypoxia, toxin accumulation in oysters, and proteomic responses to thermal stress. Collaborations span institutions in Peru, Canada, and France.

Publications emphasize hypoxia effects on growth, reproduction, and survival, as well as toxin dynamics in bivalves. His research supports sustainable aquaculture practices and ecosystem management in coastal regions affected by climate change and eutrophication.
