Rehabilitation efforts for Atlantic salmon in the Meuse basin area : Synthesis 1983-1998
peer reviewed In the 1950's, Atlantic salmon had become extinct in the river Meuse basin, mainly owing to the construction of navigation weirs. In 1987, started a rehabilitation program of Atlantic salmon in Belgium. Stockings are being performed in six tributaries of the river Meuse, using eye...
