Differential Exploitation of Atlantic Salmon Populations by a Rod Fishery on the River Spey, Scotland
- 1. Freshwater Laboratory
- 2. Spey Fishery Board Research Office
Description
Due to heritable population differences in run-timing, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) enter Scottish rivers throughout the year. Maintenance of this diversity is vital for the continued commercial and recreational value of the associated rod fisheries, which extend on most rivers from February to September. However, as the data we present demonstrate, management of the rod fishery on the River Spey, Scotland, is complicated by differential exploitation of the Atlantic salmon from the various run-timing groups.
