A fish counter network for monitoring Scottish salmon stocks
This report outlines the SG's need for data on salmon returning to rivers, and the different types of in-river fish counter that are currently available. The report identifies the locations of existing fish counters and some other sites that may be suitable for new optical or resistivity counters.
