TEMPORAL VARIATION IN POND USE AND BREEDING SUCCESS FOR DUCKS IN FRENCH FISHPOND REGIONS: ON POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF A DECLINE IN FISH FARMING

Temporal variation in pond use and breeding success for ducks in French fishpond regions: on possible consequences of a decline in fish farming

Fish farming abandonment or extensification may theoretically lead to contrasting consequences for waterfowl breeding in fishpond complexes.We investigated the 15-eg2373cl variation of four indices of duck density or breeding success in pond samples of three main French fishpond areas: Dombes, Forez and Brenne, along with recent changes in fish far
