South Lancashire Fisheries Advisory Committee 11th September, 1974

This is the report from the South Lancashire Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting, which was held on the 11th September 1974. The report looks at comments of the Regional Fisheries Officer on the report 'Taking Stock', and information including the aims of a report entitled 'Coarse Fisheries'. The report also covers sections on the working of Langcliffe Rearing Station, coarse fish salvage and stocking, fishery prosecutions, and biological work on Hoddlesdon Reservoir. Fish mortalities are also given as well as fish monitoring figures for areas on the Rivers Ribble and Hodder for 1974. The Fisheries Advisory Committee was part of the Regional Water Authorities, in this case the North West Water Authority. This preceded the Environment Agency which came into existence in 1996.
