Summary | Rearing and ranching salmon and trout. Data collected with Fish Husbandry includes: Fish mortality, Fish batch weights, Fish stock numbers, Fish feed information, Fish grading information, Broodstock: numbers, stripping dates, fecundity, fish health data and Salmonid ova. Data collected within salmon ranching programme: Salmonid ova, Micro-tagging information, Salmon smolt and Adult trap returns. Ranching provides an independent assessment of marine survival and exploitation and also supports the rod angling fishery in Lough Furnace of the Burrishoole catchment Furnace Newport Co. Mayo. Commercial rearing of salmon smolts took place from the early 1980s until 2007 and sporadic rearing of other stocks (ie. rainbow trout, char) has been carried out over the years. Since 2007 rearing and ranching has been undertaken for research purposes. Ranching salmon commenced in the early 1960s and has been continued. Data collected from the ranching and rearing tanks. Data provides knowledge and information on the status of stocks of key target species in the catchment ecosystem. Data initially collected by the Guinness Estate and more recently by the Marine Institute Newport facility team. Data complete for years since early 1960s. |
