During the last two centuries, the Atlantic salmon has di- sappeared from most of major French rivers. Conversely, the situation has remained relatively stable in Brittany. The presence of salmon in the small Brittany rivers is the consequence of favourable ecological conditions linked to geological substrate and to climatic conditions. The salmon can pass easily over the weirs of water mills, explaining its continuing presence within these rivers. A brief historical insight into water mills in Europe and in France is presented. The situation of water mills is analysed for salmon rivers in Brittany at the end of the XVHIth century and at the beginning of the XlXth century. The example of selected rivers in the west part of France, (Normandy and Vendée) is presented from the end of the XVHIth century to the end of XlXth century. The modification of river ecosystems brought by water mills and the effect on Atlantic salmon are discussed. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
