River Dart fisheries survey 1965

This is the first River Dart Fisheries Survey produced by the Devon River Authority; which was carried out from May to October 1965. The objective was to examine the distribution and relative abundance of salmonid fish in the River Dart, in order to assess the possibility or desirability, of increasing salmon smolt production of the river by artificial propagation or other means. Description, chemical, pollution and biological conditions of the River Dart along with fisheries catches, water extraction and spawning are briefly cited. The method includes the choice of sections and sampling techniques. The results go through the number/type/class of fishes counted while the survey took place, distribution patterns within the different transects/brooks, competition between salmon parr and trout and estimations of population. The section on the discussion and recommendations is introduced by a brief explanation of the bases for the Artificial Propagation Programme and the River Dart specific case-study. The annexes contains River Dart and tributaries maps, fish size distribution tables and figures, tables with totals of salmonid fish found and population density tables.

River Dart fisheries survey 1969

This is the second River Dart Fisheries Survey produced by the Devon River Authority; which was carried out from April to July, 1969. The objective was to examine the distribution and relative abundance of salmonid fish in the River Dart, in order to assess the possibility or desirability, of increasing salmon smolt production of the river by artificial propagation or other means. In addition to the tributaries examined in the 1965 survey, further sections were studied on the River Hems and Holy Brook and reference should be made to the River Survey Report, 1965 for introductory information. The method includes the choice of sections and sampling techniques. The results go through the number/type/class of fishes counted while the survey took place and distribution patterns within the different transects/brooks. The discussion tries to remark the importance of understanding the differences between 1965 and 1969 surveys. The Appendix contains tables with totals of salmonid fish found and distribution sizes for each section, population density tables and a map with new surveyed sections.

River Dart fisheries survey 1974

This is the River Dart Fisheries Survey 1974 report produced by the South West Water Authority. The survey was carried out between July and October 1974 to assess the extent of the 0+ and 1+ Salmo salar L. population in the Dart catchment and thereby assess directly the success of the 1973/74 and 1972/73 spawning season. The survey showed that there were large numbers of salmon parr distributed throughout the upper reaches of the Dart, reflecting the successful spawning of the 1973/74 and 1972/73 season. It contains tables with survey sections locations, presence/absence for each section and location maps with spawning grounds and sampling stations.
