I am not so aware. A research programme to establish the effects of bog silt on the fish stocks of a river is being carried out by the Salmon Research Trust in consultation with Bord na Móna and the Fisheries Division of the Department of Lands. Bord na Móna contributes to the cost of this research programme.
