Networks and partners

National and international networks

The collection of samples and the data it produces are included in and feed into several networks at different levels.

National network :

The National Centre for Interpretation of Salmonid Captures (CNICS) in partnership with the French Office of Biodiversity (OFB)

As part of the regulations on salmonid management, Colisa manages and assesses all samples collected by amateur and professional fishermen (mandatory declaration of captures).
Data-collection framework: The information collected to describe the samples is used to meet obligations of European Union (EU) regulations on fisheries management via the national programme for data collection in support of scientific advice for the EU Common Fisheries Policy (Data-collection framework - work plan for data collection in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors 2017-2019).

This framework for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries and aquaculture sector aims to provide researchers and others involved in making decisions about fisheries management with the information they need. An important area of the framework is to determine which scientific data are required to assess annual fish stocks

International Network :

The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES-ICES) is a global organisation that develops scientific research and advice to support sustainable use of the oceans.

The North Atlantic Salmon Working Group (WGNAS) responds to questions from the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organisation (NASCO-OSCAN). It is responsible for assessing salmon stocks in the North Atlantic each year and recommends management measures to the countries concerned, which are ultimately translated into national regulations.
