Abstract

These Regulations regulate the fishing for salmon in specified areas. They prohibit the retention of any salmon which are caught in coastal waters and those areas of inland waters described in Schedule 2. In terms of section 38(7) of the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 2003 it is an offence to act in contravention of the prohibition. The Regulations also require the Scottish Ministers to carry out an assessment of the conservation status of salmon in those areas described in Schedule 1 and provide that a conservation plan for salmon may be agreed between the Scottish Ministers and District Salmon Fishery Boards or proprietors of salmon fisheries in respect of those areas described in Schedule 1.
