Abstract
    The meagre (Argyrosmus regius ) of Bay of Biscay is found along the coast and in the Gironde Estuary from spring to autumn, and in deeper waters during the cold season. It is never abundant at the north of the Pertuis charentais. The young individuals and adults do not have the same distribution. Spawning takes place between mid May and late July in the Gironde Estuary. The young fish feed on small crustaceans and the adults on pelagic fishes. Growth is rapid. The meagre emits loud grunts and the fishermen of the Gironde use these noises to locate the fish and to position their nets.
