Rapid recolonisation of Clyde tributary by salmon following fish pass work
Our fieldwork has demonstrated that a fish pass installed on the Gotter Water, Inverclyde allowed salmon to breed upstream of the weir in Quarrier’s Village for the first time in 120 years. The pass was completed in December 2019 and worked at the first time of asking; juvenile salmon were detected over almost all of the newly accessible areas in June 2020.
The results and our interpretation of them can be found here:
