Migratory Fish
The Migratory Fish Committee deals with a wide range of issues affecting wild salmon and sea trout stocks in Scotland, the UK and, indeed, internationally through its connection with the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organisation, whose headquarters are in Edinburgh.
It is campaigning against certain activities of Scotland's West Coast marine salmon farming industry in the belief that these are endangering wild migratory stocks and the environment.
It is involved in conservation moves, including the encouragement of voluntary catch-and-release, in efforts to stem the decline in currently dwindling stocks of wild salmon in all the North Atlantic countries. It is also dealing with problems of pollution, water abstraction, small-scale hydro-power projects, predation by an increasing population of seals and fish-eating birds, the continuation of drift-netting for salmon in England, Northern Ireland and Ireland, industrial fishing in the North Sea and the improvement of river habitat to boost salmon and sea trout spawning prospects.
