|
20,943, 8,194 and 37,830 wild salmon and grilse were reported caught and retained in the fixed engine, net and coble and rod and line fisheries respectively in 2005. A further 45,970 wild salmon and grilse were reported caught and released by the rod fishery. The national index of fishing effort for the fixed engine fishery was 360 trap months and for the net and coble fishery was 106 crew months. We have no record of the fishing effort associated with the rod and line fishery nationally.
