Suivi de quelques facteurs environnementaux dans les pertuis Charentais : de 1992 à 1994

A study of the environmental factors in the "pertuis charentais" (charentais straits) has been carried out from 1993 tc 1994. The evolution of water temperature and salinity, as weil as the turbidity, are studied. ln the middle of Breton Strait, near to the long lines, the stratification has not been observed, and the salinity variations are much less sharp than in the stations which are located nearer the coast. The photosynthetic pigments concentrations can be very different in the same time at two close stations; in the Antioch Strait and at the long lines, the values of chlorophyll "a" are comparable; they are much higher in the Breton Strait. At the same time, a study has been made on the physical factors, the photosynthetic pigments concentrations, as weil as the mineral and organic seston in the Ré Island coasts from 1992 tc 1993
