Lacs Merlets

"The Lacs Merlets belong to the category of ""cold"" lakes: with harsh climatic conditions, the water temperature dœs not exceed 9 ° C in the summer and the ice cover persists for a little more than 8 months. These lakes are called oligotrophs (from the Greek oligo-little and trophe-food). The presence of fish is almost always due to human intervention. The cold lakes are the domain of salmonids whose species are subdivided into char of the Salvelinus and Salmo trutta genus. Also of note is the presence of a small cyprinide fish, the minnow (phoxinus phoxinus). Piscicultural management requires the organisation of quality sport-fishing."
