Report of the Standing Scientific Committee of the National Salmon Commission
The Status of Irish Salmon Stocks in 2005 and Precautionary Catch Advice for 2006 - A National Salmon Commission was established in 1999 under the 1999 Fisheries (Amendment) Act along with a Standing Scientific Committee “to advise and assist the Commission on all technical and scientific matters in relation to the performance of the Commission’s functions.”
The purpose of this report, therefore, is to provide the technical and scientific information required by the National Salmon Commission in order to meet its terms of reference. This includes information on Irish salmon stocks, the current status of these stocks relative to the objective of meeting Conservation Limits (CLs), and the catch advice which will allow for a sustainable harvest of salmon into the future. The report also outlines the scientific advice process leading to the formulation and presentation of the catch advice for the 2006 season and whether or not national and international obligations are being met.
