Camille Sautereau

I Graduated from a double master’s degree in Oceanography (Liège University) and Biodiversity and Environment (EPHE).

I worked during my master thesis between the Eco Evo Devo team and the CRIOBE on the symbiosis between sea anemones and the clown anemonefish Amphiprion ocellaris.

I started my PhD in October 2022, under the supervision of Laurence Besseau, and in collaboration with OIST (Vincent LAUDET) and the CRIOBE (David LECCHINI). In my PhD, I’m interested in spatial and social organization of anemonefishes living in megacolonies along with the consequences it has on their ecophysiological and neuroendocrine status. I look at this in 3 species of anemonefishes: Amphiprion chrysopterus, Amphiprion frenatus and Amphiprion clarkii, either directly in their natural environment in Bora-Bora island (French Polynesia) and Okinawa island (Japan), or in aquarium at Banyuls-sur-Mer (France). When I’m not at the lab, I love spending my time underwater or joining my friends to discover new places where delicious food can be found!
