Species Overview

Saumon de l'Atlantique

The Atlantic salmon is an anadromous species that migrates from the ocean to freshwater rivers to spawn. Renowned among fly fishers, it is also one of the most important farmed fish species globally.

The zander is the European equivalent of the walleye and one of the most prized freshwater predators in Europe. Its excellent low-light vision makes it a crepuscular hunter. Its delicate white flesh is considered among the finest of freshwater fish.
