  abstract = {{T}he long years of drought resulted in a loss of much of the mangrove areas which constituted nurseries and spawning grounds for fish stocks. {W}ith the high salinity of the water, salt harvesting has become in recent years the main activity of some villagers. {T}his salt harvesting activity tends to aggravate the situation. {S}alt fields production residues are continuously discharged into bolong thereby increasing the salinity of the water. {T}he high salt content, in the dry season especially, prevented reassembling species in inland waters and finally eliminated fishing in some villages of {S}aloum. {H}owever, due to the advance of the sea, the large increase in the opening of the mouth has in recent years risen more water from the ocean into the river. {T}his water inlet tends to reduce the salt content of the river allowing a resumption of fishing in some localities. {N}evertheless, the strong current induced reassembled waters, while facilitating the use of drifting gear, a









constraint for other gear used in fixed mode. {T}his communication shows how advanced the sea has allowed the maintenance of fishing in some medium {S}aloum.},
