Atlantic salmons study Areas (Ponctual Abundance Sampling PAS) by session - Sélune Observatory

The opening of the dams should impact the functioning of Atlantic salmon populations migrating up the Sélune and its tributaries. Restoring the river's ecological continuity will alter population flows by allowing Atlantic salmon to migrate further upstream and downstream of the dams. The Atlantic salmon population is monitored at a network of stations covering the entire Sélune basin using an abundance index, which was carried out every two years before 2021 and annually since then.



Field campaigns comply with the fishing protocol developed by INRAE and OFB. The aim of this method is to estimate the abundance of juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) at a station (or sector). This protocol targets juveniles of the year (aged 0+) whose abundance reflects the renewal of generations within the population (or recruitment) and survival after the embryonic development phases under gravel and the first months of life in the open environment. Field campaigns are carried out by INRAE and the Manche d'Ille-et-Vilaine Federation for Fishing and the Protection of the Aquatic Environment (FDAPPMA50 and FDAPPMA35).



This dataset provides the locations of these study sectors for IAS fishing sessions in the Sélune watershed by fishing session.

Statement

Monitoring of amphihaline fish populations in the Sélune is carried out on the main course and its tributaries, both upstream and downstream of the old dams. This allows us to understand the dynamics of these populations before, during and after the dams were demolished. Brown trout, Atlantic salmon, European eel and lamprey (marine, river and brook) are species of high conservation importance. Populations are monitored using various inventory protocols (electrofishing, trapping, DNAe) supplemented by sampling to better characterise the populations (genetics, scalimetry).



The objectives of this monitoring programme are:

- to estimate recruitment levels in 0+ and 1+, cohort development, abundance and density of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar);

- to monitor biometrics (measurements, scale sampling and scalimetric readings) at reference stations;

- to study intra- and inter-population genetic structure and the impact of migratory individuals and the movement of sedentary trout downstream and upstream of dams on the entire population (fin sampling).



Sampling has been annual since 2022 and biannual before that.



The protocol implemented is the protocol "Gaétan Pottier, Frédéric Marchand, Sabrina Servant, Etienne Prévost. Salmon abundance index (IAS). Guides and Protocols Collection. Scientific electrofishing in continental aquatic environments,

INRAE; OFB, 2022. ffhal-03757386".



The stations (also known as study sectors) were located using a hiking GPS (expected planimetric accuracy <= 20 m).
