Following the escape of 48,000+ farmed salmon at Carradale in the Firth of Clyde 2 weeks ago, reports are now reaching fishery managers that a few of these fish are beginning to turn up in Ayrshire’s rivers. Please look closely at any fish and make the right decisions.
Here’s a link to the latest guidance produced by collaboration with stakeholders such as ART, Fisheries Trusts and District Salmon Fishery Boards, FHI and MSS and published by Fishery management Scotland.
