Restoring free fish migration in the river valleys. An historical point of view (19th-21th centuries) of dam management on the Aulne river (Brittany, France)
International audience Ecological continuity represents a specific priority for rivers management. In Brittany (France), dam removal is intended to restore free movement of migratory fish and to provide ecological continuity. This objective of ecological continuity is itself intended to recover a fa...

International audience Ecological continuity represents a specific priority for rivers management. In Brittany (France), dam removal is intended to restore free movement of migratory fish and to provide ecological continuity. This objective of ecological continuity is itself intended to recover a favorable ecological status, ensuring the quality of water required by the EU Water Framework Directive. Based on the case of Aulne River, which is historically known to be highly frequented by Atlantic salmon, this article put the link between dam removal and free movement of migratory fish into historical perspective. A thorough analysis of archives and documentary evidences allows us to shed light on the evolution of management and techniques for the restoration of salmon runs. We illustrate the evolution of river’s concept since the mid-nineteenth century and discuss various challenges associated with experimental policy of temporary restoration of ecological continuity. La continuité écologique est emblématique de la gestion écologique des cours d’eau.
