Le taux de prédation exercé par la plus grande colonie européenne de Hérons cendrés du lac de Grand-Lieu (Loire-Atlantique, France) a été étudié pendant deux saisons de reproduction (1987 et 1988), en comparant le régime des hérons et la population de poissons dans la principale aire d'alimentation, le marais de Bourgneuf (16 000 ha). Cette étude est la première tentative d'évaluation de la prédation de cette colonie d'Ardéidés. Elle fournit les premiers résultats de la structure et de l'abondance du peuplement ichtyologique d'un marais littoral endigué. Le régime des hérons et leurs zones alimentaires ont a été étudiés par observation directe.
The fish predation rate by Grey Heron Ardea cinerea was studied during two breeding seasons (1987 -1988) in the largest European colony at the Lake of Grand-Lieu (Loire-Atlantique, France). The heron's diet was compared to the available fish population of its main feeding area, the marsh of Bourgneuf (16 000 ha). This study is the first attempt to assess the predation exerted by an ardeid colony. It also provides the fist data about the abundance and the structure of fish communities in shallow coastal dyked marshes. The distribution of the herons at the feeding areas was determined by direct observations.
