For the first time since records began a healthy-looking sea trout has been discovered in the Seine, prompting Paris authorities to claim a resounding success in their bid to clean up the river after years of pollution and neglect.

The discovery of the migratory fish was "crucial evidence" that water quality was higher than ever, insisted the SIAAP, the public body in charge of cleaning up the river. "This is the first time this species has been identified in the Parisian region," a spokesman said yesterday.
 

The sighting is particularly significant, experts say, because the water trout is highly sensitive and demanding about the quality of water in which it swims. The fact that it is now able to live in the Seine is proof of the river's constant improvement in quality, they said.
The trout, which is thought to have swum upstream all the way from the Seine estuary on the English Channel coast, was fished last weekend by a couple in the western outskirts of Paris. Amazed at their unusual catch, the anglers contacted the SIAAP to find out if it was a first for the river.
