Workshop on conservation aquaculture for wild Atlantic salmon management

With support from the Fishmongers’ Company, the Institute of Aquaculture recently hosted a workshop on conservation aquaculture for wild Atlantic salmon management. This was led by Colin Bull, a Senior Lecturer with expertise in salmon conservation and aquaculture. There were eight presentations and a series of discussion sessions, drawing on experiences in Scotland, France and Canada.

The workshop especially examined the historical record of stocking programmes, many of which have been assessed as largely ineffective, to learn lessons and identify where carefully targeted activities may still have a role to play in the future of salmon management.
