Résumé anglais Hunting, Farming and Fishing in the Dombes The Dombes is a humid zone in the département of the Ain. Manmade ponds are farmed there according to a crop rotation system that alternates fish-farming with the cultivation of cereal plants. The natural conditions created by the ponds are extremely favorable for hunting. Existing land property structures have favored private and urban hunters, and this trend has been furthered by the increasingly widespread practice of renting out hunting rights. Nevertheless the inhabitants retain stalking rights (droits d'affût) for duck hunting. Agriculture, which has become very dynamic in this region, makes almost no concessions to hunting. Few farmers exercice their right to hunt. There is an increasing interest in pisciculttire, but hunting is not impeded by the farming of the ponds, which is very uneven in terms of commercial development. Agriculture, pisciculture and hunting have found a relatively satisfying modus vivendi in the Dombes.
