Abstract:
As part of the HIPPO (HIgh-resolution Primary Production multi-prOxy archives) project, environ-
mental monitoring was carried out between March and October 2021 in the Bay of Brest. The aim of this survey
was to better understand the processes which drive the incorporation of chemical elements into scallop shells
and their links with phytoplankton dynamics. For this purpose, biological samples (scallops and phytoplankton)
as well as water samples were collected in order to analyze various environmental parameters (element chemical
properties, nutrients, chlorophyll a, etc.). Given the large number of parameters that were measured, only the
major results are presented and discussed here. However, the whole dataset, which has been made available, is
much larger and can potentially be very useful for other scientists performing sclerochronological investigations,
studying biogeochemical cycles or conducting various ecological research projects. The dataset is available at
https://doi.org/10.17882/92043 (Siebert et al., 2023).
