| French institute for engineering research in
agriculture and environment (Cemagref) Status : Governmental
research institute (depends from Ministry of Research and Ministry of
Agriculture)
http://www.cemagref.fr/
Two research units are interested in Diadfish:
- Inland Aquatic Living Resources (RAC)
- Complex Systems Engineering lab (LISC)
RAC unit is also part of a cooperative technological research team with
the Fisheries head council (CSP) and Electricité de France.
Inland Aquatic Living Resources research unit
http://www.bordeaux.cemagref.fr/rabx/
Location: Cestas (suburb of Bordeaux) and Toulouse
Head: Paul GONTHIER
2 research themes :
- diadromous population (ecology, dynamics, management, conservation)
- estuarine ecology (researchers of this thematic are not mentioned here)
Annual budget: (diadromous fish): 790 000 €/year
of external funding (average 1998-2002)

Specialist facilities
- one research vessel “L’ESTURIAL”(Royan). Trawler
designed for operating in estuaries and coastal waters
- one experimental facilities « CREA » (St Seurin sur l'Isle)
facility fully equipped for short and long term experiments on diadromous
species (fresh, brackish, marine waters available). Experiments concerns
conservation of endangered species (artificial breeding and rearing),
test of methods (tagging and ageing) and behavior observation.
- one Fishway technological hall (Toulouse)
