This is the report from the Mersey and Weaver Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting, which was held on the 27th January, 1975. It covers information on the proposed regional fishing licence duties, and the report of the Working Party on future regional hatchery requirements, which includes sections on the future demands for migratory salmonids, brown and rainbow trout, and coarse fish plus the most effective means of meeting future demands. It also covers the report by the Unit Water Quality Officer on fisheries activities, which looks at fisheries management, stocking and biological work carried out on the River Bollin, Etherow and Goyt. Information on fish toxicity tests including methods and results are also included. 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.
