Question:92 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources if he will extend the fishing season in a particular area (details supplied) in County Mayo. [11529/00]
Written Answers. - Fishing Season.
Salmon conservation and management measures which were in force last year will remain in place given the continued vulnerability of salmon stocks. It remains the case that where commercial netsmen and anglers working with the regional fisheries boards can agree a manage ment plan for specific areas, the possibility of extending the season in those areas will be examined. The salmon commission will advise on future conservation and management strategies for the salmon resource.
