“…Two kinds of movement strategy have been observed in abalone. Some abalone stay in the same place and behave as "sedentary" while others move more frequently and behave as "wanderers" (Cenni et al, 2009). Here no clear categories were found.…”

00000International audienceAbalone growth rate is often identified among important traits to improve through selective breeding. However, the rapid success of some selective breeding plans has sometimes led to negative effects in some aquaculture species due to trade-offs. One of them is the loss of homeostasis of selected animals which results in the inability to resist the stress experienced during the rearing process. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the phenotypic relationships between growth, and physiological and behavioural traits in Haliotis tuberculata under stressful conditions. Eleven traits related to growth, immunity, reproduction and behaviour were recorded under laboratory conditions. A total of 120 adults from wild or farm origin were first monitored during a 3-week stress period (high density and acute stress handling) during winter, followed by 6 months on-growing in sea-cages. Relationships between parameters were analyzed using a multi-factorial approach. Wild and farm stocks could only be discriminated on behaviour traits, confirming that the French abalone industry is in the beginning of the domestication process. After 3 weeks of chronic stress, the righting latency of an abalone was linked to better survival and faster growth. Abalones having the best growth after 6 months were characterized by higher activity during the previous winter period, whereas an early gonad maturation reduced the growth in summer. Our results provide a basis for the establishment of a multi-trait breeding program to improve the growth rate while controlling the evolution of physiological and behavioural traits.ăStatement of relevanceăThe relationships of behavioural and physiological variables with survival and weight gain after application of important stressors were studied in order to provide a better understanding of Haliotis tuberculata biology during early domestication stage. This paper will give information on new targets and tools for selective breeding

“…The total duration of movement per day (Move.D .hour -1 ) was measured. In addition, animals were attributed to one of two categories: 1 for "wanderer" with more than one hour of movement per day (which represented 50% of the abalone) and 0 for "sedentary" if they moved less (Cenni et al, 2009).…”

“…The importance of movement as an indicator of the stress response has been suggested by Cenni et al (2009). The authors described the behaviour of H. tuberculata and suggested that locomotion behaviour may be used as a ''proxy'' to assess the ''welfare status'' of cultured molluscs.…”

“…midae is an herbivorous sedentary gastropod of the intertidal zone. Many abalone species and other molluscs emerge from their shelters at night (Wood 1993;Cenni et al 2009) to feed or to migrate to new sites (Shepherd and Godoy 1989). Movement has also been reported after abalone had been disturbed (Evans 1961;Tarr 1995) either by predators (Hansen and Gosselin 2014), dislocated rocks and boulders (Sousa 1979) or handling (Poore 1972;Robinson et al 2013) and reseeding of natural stocks (Werner et al 1995).…”

“…Research and development resulted in the improvement of pelleted diets (Sales and Britz 2001), husbandry conditions (Yearsley 2007;Naylor et al 2011) and health management (Simon et al 2005), but no information is available about the behaviour of this species under farm conditions. In particular, an understanding of factors causing locomotion is important as it has been shown that crawling activity had a high metabolic energy demand in H. kamtschatkana (Donavan et al 1999) and that locomotion is an indicator of stress in haliotids (Baldwin et al 2007;Cenni et al 2009;Robinson et al 2013). Carefoot (1997, 1999) investigated the cost of transport in H. kamtschatkana and suggested that adhesive crawling in this species required 44.1 J kg -1 m -1 of energy (Donavan et al 1999), with a fast increase in energy requirement as the speed of locomotion increased.…”

Behavioural responses of farmed South African abalone Haliotis midae L. to disturbances caused by husbandry procedures

2016

The South African abalone, Haliotis midae L., is an important mariculture species. In the natural environment, abalone move and migrate to new sites to escape from disturbances. This is the first study that tested the effect of disturbances on movement and feeding activity of farmed abalone for 6 days post-disturbance. Disturbances were (a) turning over the feeder plate, (b) moving and shaking the feeder plate and (c) briefly lifting the basket containing the abalone out of the water. Abalone in the control treatment were not subjected to disturbance. Activity levels of abalone were elevated in the first 1-2 nights post-disturbance with 2-3 times more abalone appearing on the walls of the baskets and larger numbers on the feeder plate than in the control treatment. Feed uptake was not influenced by treatment. Thus, even minor disturbances resulted in increased activity. As it takes at least 1 year to conduct growth experiments in this slow-growing mollusc, the results provide a motivation for studies of growth and metabolic rate in this species under a range of husbandry conditions, such as regular handling, sorting and moving of abalone.
