It is the second source of national income and provides substantial job opportunities, notably in remote atolls. However, this sector has been undermined by successive crises, such as mass-mortalities of wild and farmed oyster stocks that have impacted entire lagoons. An option to revive the activity consists of reintroducing oysters in strategic benthic locations selected to maximize reproduction and dispersal of larvae throughout the lagoon, hence promoting recolonization and spat collection for farming. For Takaroa, a Tuamotu atoll recently impacted by mortalities, a systematic prioritization approach identified these restocking sites, using environmental and socio-economic criteria such as: location of suitable habitats for oyster settlement, larval connectivity estimated from hydrodynamic circulation model, farming waste accumulation, and opportunity cost to fishers and farmers who lose access to restocking areas. This approach provides managers with a portfolio of restocking options. specialized Spatial planning Marxan Connectivity Aquaculture Pinctada margaritifera French Polynesia POLYNESIE FRANCAISE TUAMOTU GAMBIER TAKAROA ATOLL 040 038 176 113472 [10 p.] 2022 0025-326X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010085091 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2022.113472 0025-326X [F B010085091] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010085091 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2022-06/010085091.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2022-06-03 2025-02-24 fdi:010085091 fre
