Discovered last December by researchers from the Mediterranean Institute of Oceanology off the island of Port Cros, Lophocladia lallemandii is a filamentous red alga native to the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean and present in the eastern Mediterranean basin since the 20th century after having crossed the Suez Canal like many invasive species. Today, several mats of these algae have been discovered near Port-Cros, ranging in size from 3 to 8 meters deep. Lophocladia lallemandii produces toxic molecules that protect it from predators.

Beyond a thousand meters, we are in the deep ocean, quickly plunged into total darkness.

An international team, in which MIO participates, describes for the first time the mechanisms that lead to mercury contamination of Pacific tuna. It shows the important role of bio-geochemical processes in the oceans and points to atmospheric emissions in Asia
