Relating to the previous post on replenishment of fish stocks:
The Environment Agency are taking measures to try and prevent the depletion of Salmon stocks in rivers in the South West area.
The E.A put Salmon breeding numbers at a big loss over the past 10 years:
1996 - 5, 213
2006 - 1,098
Salmon are being bred and 'raised' bfore being released into the rivers. The hope is that they will then return to the same river in order to breed.
