Eden & District Fisheries Advisory Committee 4th April, 1978

This is the report from the Eden and District Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting, which was held on the 4th April, 1978. It covers information on fisheries income and expenditure, net licence duties and a fishery dispute in the Solway Firth. It also includes the report by the area fisheries officer on river conditions and fishing, and Holmwrangle hatchery which include sections on disease outbreaks, movements of fish and stock lists. Included in this report is also fish disease, biological work and a brief note on the spotting of Cormorants on the Eden and the worry about the effect this will have on shoals of smolts. 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.
