The drought is continuing and our rivers are at alarmingly low levels. This period is particularly difficult for the fish in our rivers, especially trout, which like cool, well-oxygenated water.<\/p>

On Monday 18 September, the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration de P\u00eache du 82 (82 Fishing Federation) carried out a rescue electric fishing operation to help fish trapped in water pockets avoid suffocation. Using a special portable device, a pulsed electric current is sent through the water, forcing the fish to swim towards the electrode. The fish is then caught with a landing net and finally released downstream, where the river flows sufficiently.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

This fishing technique is regulated and only authorised for scientific monitoring and conservation initiatives. It allows all the fish in a stretch of river to be caught without harming them.<\/p>

The Seye and Bonnette rivers are still home to wild trout populations that need to be preserved. Several trout have therefore been saved from suffocation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
