Who won: ES RDE 119 - Fishery independent monitoring for salmon stock assessment

About this contract

Environment Agency Self-Service Direct Award. Ministerial Direction instructs the Environment Agency to assess the status of salmon stocks in English rivers annually. This is currently assessed by comparing estimates of annual egg deposition to conservation targets, based on the number of eggs that need to be deposited over time to support sustainable populations.

However, as salmon populations decline nationwide, angler catch records are increasingly failing to provide sufficient data to run meaningful stock assessments, particularly on small rivers. Angler catch records are expected to reduce still further as our climate warms; catch-and-release salmon fisheries close in high water temperatures to mitigate risks to fish. Temperature related fishery closures are pro
