Number and height of dams : a cumulative impact. General improvement of migration conditions is required (dams removal, flow management) Need for radio-tracking programmes 2. Some unsolved cases due to a low attractivity of devices, e.g. Poutès dam (R. Allier: fish-lift) Need for a better knowledge of the upstream migration behaviour and a better efficiency of fish passes 3. Great need for improving downstream migration (juveniles and kelts): prevent fish from being drawn into the turbines Requirements for the restoration of salmon populations (2) Access to suitable spawning zones in the upstream reaches of rivers Higher quality of habitat high juvenile production (density and growth) Zones that should be kept for natural spawning only Estimation of suitable habitat area for juveniles Requirements for the restoration of salmon populations (3) Need to use hatchery fish supposes structures for large juvenile production and to tag fish to assess success, e.g. Fluorescent pigments: juveniles, R. Dordogne Coded-wire tags: largely used for juvenile, requires double tagging (fin clipping) Pit-tags: very effective and reliable but expensive and possible loss of the tag during spawning But…tagging has largely disappeared from France Requirements for the restoration of salmon populations (4) Results of stocking depend on the strain used (very bad results with canadian strains after first restockings in the R. Dordogne) - Better results with acclimated or strains geographically close to the restored stock (Dordogne) or local strain (Nivelle) - Poorer results for strains supposed to give large fish: Allier strain for R. Dordogne has given mainly grilses Impact of hatchery fish in salmonid populations Interbreeding and genetic dilution Decrease of genetic variability and adaptability Increased straying: homing rate 2-5 times lower in the grisles (R.Couesnon) Lower survival rates Impaired spawning behaviour / wild fish Disease tranmission: Gyrodactylus salaris generates few multi-sea winter salmon Impact of hatchery fish in salmonid populations : an important issue Fears and interrogations at an international level (Cf. NASCO and ICES) coming from the numerous studies on interactions between hatchery and wild fish CCL 1: the contribution of hatchery-reared fish to restore wild populations is not sufficiently evaluated CCL 2: a need for a wide cooperation on reintroduction of salmon – share the results and analyse the "failures" ?

  • 2800-Mile Dash Across France and Germany Features 79Th’S Crack Combat Record in Eto
    The following article was published in the June 19, 1945 edition of the “Lorraine Cross” the 79th Division’s bi-weekly newspaper. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………… Normandy to Czechoslovakia: 2800-MILE DASH ACROSS FRANCE AND GERMANY FEATURES 79TH’S CRACK COMBAT RECORD IN ETO Three years ago this month the 79th Infantry Division was reactivated, at Camp Pickett, Va. One year ago today it was committed to its first combat in World War II, in the Normandy hedgerow country southwest of Valognes. In ten months of hard fighting it has compiled one of the finest combat records in the ETO. In this record are three outstanding “firsts”: First into Cherbourg, first across the Seine, First American division to stand on the Rhine. Few divisions have served under as many Higher Headquarters: All three Army Groups, four of the five U.S. armies, nine of the sixteen U.S. Corps. The Division’s combat itinerary – approximately 2800 miles – is one of the longest. Predominantly a spearhead and “river crossing” unit, it featured in nearly all the important Allied campaigns in the West: The seizure of Cherbourg, the great breakthrough and the closing of the Argentan-Falaise Pocket, the dash to the Seine and then on to Belgium, the drive into Lorraine, the piercing of the Vosges and the clearing of Alsace, the containing of the enemy’s desperate Alsatian counteroffensive, the clearing of the Rhineland, crossing of the Ruhr and reduction of the Ruhr Pocket. In prisoners alone the Division has accounted for the equivalent of three enemy divisions. Enemy casualties in killed and wounded are reckoned as many times greater.

    Agenda Item 6.1 For Information Council CNL(14)23 Annual Progress Report on Actions Taken Under Implementation Plans for the Calendar Year 2013 EU – Germany CNL(14)23 Annual Progress Report on Actions taken under Implementation Plans for the Calendar Year 2013 The primary purposes of the Annual Progress Reports are to provide details of: • any changes to the management regime for salmon and consequent changes to the Implementation Plan; • actions that have been taken under the Implementation Plan in the previous year; • significant changes to the status of stocks, and a report on catches; and • actions taken in accordance with the provisions of the Convention These reports will be reviewed by the Council. Please complete this form and return it to the Secretariat by 1 April 2014. The annual report 2013 is structured according to the catchments of the rivers Rhine, Ems, Weser and Elbe. Party: European Union Jurisdiction/Region: Germany 1: Changes to the Implementation Plan 1.1 Describe any proposed revisions to the Implementation Plan and, where appropriate, provide a revised plan. Item 3.3 - Provide an update on progress against actions relating to Aquaculture, Introductions and Transfers and Transgenics (section 4.8 of the Implementation Plan) - has been supplemented by a new measure (A2). 1.2 Describe any major new initiatives or achievements for salmon conservation and management that you wish to highlight. Rhine ICPR The 15th Conference of Rhine Ministers held on 28th October 2013 in Basel has agreed on the following points for the rebuilding of a self-sustainable salmon population in the Rhine system in its Communiqué of Ministers (www.iksr.org / International Cooperation / Conferences of Ministers): - Salmon stocking can be reduced step by step in parts of the River Sieg system in the lower reaches of the Rhine, even though such stocking measures on the long run remain absolutely essential in the upper reaches of the Rhine, in order to increase the number of returnees and to enhance the carefully starting natural reproduction.

  • Can You Go Home Again? by Cal Norman, 398-A
    Can You Go Home Again? by Cal Norman, 398-A Cal Norman, took his children, Chris, Peter, and Susan, with him on a visit to the towns and battlefields where Company A fought during the war. His modern day visit was punctuated with memories of 1944– 45 (in this article, the remembrances are indented). The story following this tells the story of the trip through the eyes of Cal’s son, Chris. Years ago, Thomas Wolfe opined that “You can’t go home again.” Well, following the traditions of such as Paul Mosher and Bob Huffman, I returned to those areas of Alsace with my now adult children to the area of memories, testing Wolfe’s thesis. I guess, in many ways, he’s right. My kids, Chris, Peter, and Susie, all contributed their skills and interest to the trip. Susie’s college French minor paid off and the boys’ interest in the driving and luggage hauling was great. We drove by the Bois de Repy and into Etival but could not identify the houses we had occupied in November of 1944. Towns like this have modernized, shifted traffic patterns, and built anew. I recalled, as a runner, carrying messages from the Company CP to our platoon. These were hair- raising chores as a German artillery shell slammed into a neighboring house and the next day the local undertaker was aiding family as they walked to the community church. I had to pull guard duty at the CP and this consisted of challenging patrols as they came by the darkened streets.
