Some estates have extensive records of salmon caught
on their beats, dating back into the nineteenth century.
These records provide an invaluable insight into how
fish populations on the Tay have changed. However, most
of these records have never been investigated and their
stories remain untold.
The Tay Foundation is contributing to a project to
collate these records, commit them to computer and perform
analyses on them. By placing current fish stocks into
context with the past, these records will help inform
present day management.
The project is due to report in the latter part of
2006.

Old estate catch records provide
detailed insights into how fish populations have
changed over time. Collation and analysis of these
will help to inform present day management of
the fisheries. |
