Very rare DUNOUAU (Olivier) - [SALMON] Salmon in the Gave de Pau. Pau, Lescher-Moutoué, 1929. Plaquette petit in-8: 16pp. Paperback, red paper cover with yellow garland and mounted photo vignette showing the casino of Pau on the first cover and the famous photo of Dunouau and his colleague showing a "skewer" of 9 salmon on the back cover. Rare booklet. This is not a banal fishing manual but a technical report in the form of a plea (already!) for the fight against the anarchic development of rivers, the development of salmon ladders, the repression of poaching and the fight against water pollution. This report presents an evaluation of the budget for the restoration of the gave, following the creation in 1923 of the "Conseil supérieur de la pêche". It should be added that this brochure was published in May 1929, two months later, on 13 July, an unprecedented accident at the Soulom factory forced the factory owner to dump a considerable amount of harmful products which destroyed a large part of the fish stocks in the gave. The establishment of a fish farm became a necessity, it was inaugurated in April 1932 by DUNOUAU who was the master builder.
