Fishery Restoration After Liming

  • Chapter
Restoring Acid Waters: Loch Fleet 1984-1990

Abstract

An earlier section of this book (see Chapter 1 and Chapter 3) provides a review of the loss of fisheries attributable to acidification of their freshwater habitat, both in general and at Loch Fleet. This chapter will review the progress of fishery restoration at Loch Fleet subsequent to the liming applications in 1986 and 1987. This programme has involved confirmation of the water quality targets, the reintroduction of stock to the loch, and surveillance of the successful spawning and fry development in the improved water conditions.
