	abstract = {Chlordecone (CLD) levels measured in the rivers of the French West Indies were among the highest values detected worldwide in freshwater ecosystems, and its contamination is recognised as a severe health, environmental, agricultural, economic, and social issue. In these tropical volcanic islands, rivers show strong originalities as simplified food webs, or numerous amphidromous migrating species, making the bioindication of contaminations a difficult issue. The objective of this study was to search for biological responses to CLD pollution in a spatially fixed and long-lasting component of the rivers in the West Indies: the epilithic biofilm. Physical properties were investigated through complementary analyses: friction, viscosity as well as surface adhesion were analyzed and coupled with measures of biofilm carbon content and exopolymeric substance (EPS) production. Our results have pointed out a mesoscale chemical and physical reactivity of the biofilm that can be correlated with CLD contamination. We were able to demonstrate that epilithic biofilm physical properties can effectively be used to infer freshwater environmental quality of French Antilles rivers. The friction coefficient is reactive to contamination and well correlated to carbon content and EPS production. Monitoring biofilm physical properties could offer many advantages to potential users in terms of effectiveness and ease of use, rather than more complex or time-consuming analyses.},

<p>\&nbsp;Rivers of the Caribbean islands harbour a freshwater fauna mainly constituted of migrant diadromous species. In these hyperturbulent ecosystems, the primary producers are mostly represented by a thin epilithic biofilm, mainly composed of diatoms. Comparison of the diatoms available from the environment with the ones consumed and located in the digestive tracts of two gobiid fish, Sicydium punctatum Perugia, 1896 and Sicydium plumieri (Bloch, 1786) were made at twelve sampling locations, located upstream or downstream of six rivers, in Guadeloupe. One hundred and ninety-one epilithic diatom species were identified. A statistical approach was used to determine diatoms that best characterize the two species digestive tracts content (i.e. {\textquotedblleft}diagnostic species{\textquotedblright}) and to evaluate the statistical relationship between species abundances and groups of sites or conditions. Eight taxa belonging to five families were considered as significant diagnostic species of digestive tracts from fish collected upstream (Achnanthidium subhudsonis, Achnanthes rupestoides, Diadesmis contenta, Diadesmis sp., Eolimna sp., Navicula (dicta) seminulum, Navicula difficillima and Nupela sp.), and five taxa belonging to three families were considered as significant diagnostic species for fish collected downstream (Gomphonema parvulum, Navicula arvensis, Navicula cruxmeridionalis, Nitzschia frustulum and Navicula incarum). Results indicate selective consumption of epilithic diatoms by the two major fish observed in the mid and upper stream of Caribbean rivers</p>
