L'economie d'un secteur aquacole : la salmoniculture en france

Almost twenty years have passed since the first production tests of salmonids in a marine environment in France (1970) (see VIDAL GIRAUD, 1980). After the laboratory work, joint experiment programmes (fishermen-CNEXO) were developed that ended in the beginnings of production. Conducted during the 70s, the research work and experiments to true scale (SODAB in the Côtes du Nord region and sites at Brest and Cherbourg harbours) opened the way to setting up twenty-odd salmon-farming operations.
