NON-DESTRUCTIVE TECHNIQUES FOR THE MONITORING OF ARCTIC CHAR SALVELINUS ALPINUS (L.) IN IRISH LOUGHS I. FYKE NETTING

N. M. Ruane, J. Davenport, F. Igoe

Abstract

The most common technique used to survey Arctic char Salvelinus alpinus (L.) in Ireland is gill netting, which is a lethal method of sampling. This article reports on the suitability of fyke nets as a non-destructive method to trap mature Arctic char Salvelinus alpinus (L.) close to their spawning beds based on work carried out in the southwest of Ireland.
