organization for the conservation of salmon

Meeting in Saint-Malo on June 6, the organization for the conservation of salmon in the North Atlantic  had painted a very alarming report on the status of stocks of this species. Over the past 30 years, stocks fell 75% in the North Atlantic. Within this ocean, there were 10 million salmon in the early 70s, there are more than 3.6 million today.

DECLINE. At the same time, the fish catch increased from 12,500 tonnes to 1,300 tonnes. Retail worrying decline disproportionately affects older who spent several winters at sea salmon Yet it is these individuals that return to spawn in the rivers where they were born..

In France, the Atlantic salmon is still present in fifty rivers, mainly on the Rhine and across the South Atlantic coast of Brittany in small coastal rivers Adour in the Basque country.

Loire and Allier rivers are iconic for the migration of these fish that can no longer feed after returning freshwater than 1000 miles of streams. On the Loire, there were approximately 100,000 spawning salmon per year in the 19th century. They are less than 1,000 today.
