This is the report from the Mersey and Weaver Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting, which was held on the 21st June, 1978. It covers information on the monitoring of radioactivity in migratory fish, fishing offences and prosecutions and the income from sale of rod and line licences. It also includes the report by the area fisheries officer on river conditions and fishing, and an update on Tintwistle hatchery and Worthington Stock Pools. Included in this report is also the pollution incidents, fish mortalities, fisheries management and the stocking numbers of coarse fish, brown trout and rainbow trout by the Angling Associations.
