This book is a synthesis of a collective scientific assessment (CSA) requested jointly by the Ministries of Ecology, Agriculture and Research. It was produced by a group of scientific experts without prior approval by either the sponsors, INRAE or Ifremer. The present summary, taken from the extended report, is the sole responsibility of its authors.The documents associated with this assessment are available on the websites of INRAE (www.inrae.fr) and Ifremer (www.ifremer.fr).
