Fisheries: Migratory and freshwater fisheries
What we do: Responsibilities & Objectives
Fish are an essential part of the freshwater aquatic environment; healthy fish stocks are an indicator of environmental quality. Maintaining the diversity of wild fish is therefore consistent with the UK's international commitments on Biodiversity, sustainable development, and the international commitment to conserve salmon. As such the work in this area contributes to several major Defra objectives.
