The Sustainable TEchnologies for LittoraL Aquaculture and MArine REsearch (STELLA MARE) platform has as an objective to provide data for the management of the sea in relation with the fishing industry. In this paper, we introduce the first experiment on the active tracking of a crab species, Maja squinado, symbolic of the deregulation of fishing activity. This paper introduces the method used for monitoring Maja squinado and the first collected data on the behavior of this little-known species.

In this paper we present a project defined in collaboration between the University of Corsica, the association Voce di u Cumune and the research institute IRC AM. This project deals with computer aided characterization, classification and synthesis of Corsican songs. It involves two parts : (i) the definition of a corpus of the different kinds of Corsican polyphonic songs ; (ii) the synthesis of Corsican polyphonic songs. In both parts the presented approach leans on the integration of an original gestural support called mimophony and the use of powerful sound synthesis software. The link between mimophony and the synthesis of songs is realized own to the capture of gesture.
