Marine artisanal fisheries activities are divided into two major components : the brackish water fisheries with fishing activities in the creeks and estuaries where freshwater flowing down the rivers mixes with salt water moving up with high tide; and the artisanal inshore fisheries with fishermen operating in waters of less than 40 m depth. 2, record 2, English, - brackish%2Dwater%20fishery

Les recherches réalisées par le groupe bassin versant de l'UMR CARRTEL (Centre alpin de recherche sur les réseaux trophiques des écosystèmes limniques) à l'INRA Thonon ont pour objet les transferts de polluants des bassins versants agricoles et ruraux aux écosystèmes aquatiques. Il s'agit de comprendre les mécanismes et ordres de grandeur des transferts de polluants (nutriments, sédiments et contaminants fécaux) de ce type de bassins versants vers les eaux de surface, afin de concevoir des méthodes de diagnostic (bilans, facteurs de risques, impacts potentiels) des stratégies et des itinéraires techniques pour la maîtrise de ces pollutions, et notamment des pollutions diffuses agricoles. 1, record 3, French, - limnique
