Question 14497 — animals

Summary

Mr. Jean-Pierre Vigier alerts the Minister of State, Minister for Ecological and Inclusive Transition, of the need to include weaned catfish on the list of species likely to cause biological imbalances referred to in Article R. 432-5 of the Environmental Code. Indeed, this omnivorous freshwater fish destroys spawning grounds, devours all the fish and particularly attacks salmon returning to die in the Allier. As an example, as of October 22, 2018, 389 salmon and at the same time 563 catfish were recorded at the Vichy fishway, while in 2016, 754 salmon were recorded for 38 catfish, these figures attesting to its ever-increasing proliferation. Also, he thanks him for telling him if the Government is considering, on the one hand, including the weaned catfish on the list of species likely to cause biological imbalances. and on the other hand, to take measures to limit its proliferation.
