Hydrobiologie du bassin de Marennes-Oléron - Résultats du Réseau National d'Observation : 1977 à 1981

After determining the seasonal features of the hydrobiology of the Marennes-Oléron's estuarine complex in 1976 and 1977 (Héral et al, 1983), based on seasonal campaigns conducted in 15 stations sampled in a tide half-cycle, it was proposed to monitor 5 stations spread out over the entire basin (figure 1) as part of the National Observation Network (RNO) with two monthly samples taken, one at neap tide, the other at spring tide. In the same way, station 3, at the centre of the basin, was sampled at tide half-cycle, on the same days but with a special effort to determine the dissolved and particulate organic substances. The goal of this paper is to introduce the results of the RNO's hydrobiological parameters at the stations of the Charente (5) estuary, the sector of Fort Boyard (6) and the central station of Chapus (3).
