This is the report from the Mersey and Weaver Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting, which was held on the 22nd October 1975. The report contains information on a report by the divisional scientist on fisheries activities, importation of live freshwater fish, drainage representation on local committees, new byelaws and fishing licence duties. The report by the divisional scientist looks at permissions for stocking and electrofishing, biological work and results of fish toxicity tests carried out in Rivers Bollin, Etherow, Glaze and Tame.

This preceded the Environment Agency which came into existence in 1996.
