Migratory Salmonid Habitat 2003 – Map 1 Dundalk Fisheries District

A GIS based quantification of Ireland's freshwater salmon habitat asset to determine the habitat quantity (wetted river and lake surface areas) available to migratory salmonids.  The purpose was to inform the further development of salmon stock recruitment models to provide high quality scientific advice to inform the sustainable management of salmon fisheries in Ireland. The identification of these rivers as Salmon, Sea Trout or other types of systems is still valid and has not changed since the 2003 report was published. It should be noted that rivers identified in 2003 as ‘Not considered a significant producer of migratory Salmonids’ or river segments identified as ‘Not utilised by Salmon’ may hold small populations of salmon and/or sea trout which are important in biodiversity terms.Please note that the wetted areas (riverine habitat (m²)) were revised in 2012 (McGinnity et al., 2012). This work built on the 2003 wetted area report (Mc Ginnity et al., 2003).<br/><i>McGinnity, P.,Gargan, P.,Roche, W., Mills, P. &amp; McGarrigle, M. 2003.

Water Framework Directive Hydromorphological Status App

The survey classifies hydromorphological condition using WFD nomenclature: High, Good, Moderate, Poor, Bad. Its typical use is to support the designation of high ecological status sites. Other applications of the RHAT method include assessing hydromorphological pressures, determining enhancement/restoration works required and pre-/post- works conditions for specific projects. Research and Operations teams based in Inland Fisheries Ireland have been using the RHAT methodology to assess habitat condition across various sites and catchments of interest.The OPW Environmental River Enhancement Programme (EREP) uses the RHAT methodology to collect hydromorphology data on a catchment-wide basis using a Survey123 RHAT form. Further detailed information on these surveys is available in the annual reports, which can be found on the <a href="https://www.fisheriesireland.ie/what-we-do/research/environmental-river-enhancement-programme-erep">website</a>.<br/>This application uses data which can be downloaded from the<a href="https://opendata-ifigeo.hub.arcgis.com/datasets/aabfa581f0204acd8f5b4d3f84a1e1e5_0/explore"> Water Framework Directive Hydromorphological Status</a> data page. Map contains data produced by the <a href="https://gis.epa.ie/GetData">Environmental Protection Agency</a>.<br/><br/><p><b>For more information on the RHAT methodology see the following references:</b></p><p>RHAT Training Manual <a href="https://scanner.topsec.com/?d=142&amp;r=show&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.daera-ni.gov.uk%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fpublications%2Fdoe%2Fwater-guidance-river-hydromorphology-assessment-technique-training-manual-version-2-2014.pdf&amp;t=9e381c160ab9122e48ef98d4127dd4ebcfa9b355">(daera-ni.gov.uk)</a> ISBN: 978-1-907053-65-8</p><p>River Habitat Survey (Environment Agency 2003, Raven <i>et al.,</i> 1998)</p>

Fish Kills in Ireland 1969 to Recent App

Information on fish kills have been compiled and reported annually since 1969 by the Inland Fisheries Trust (formerly the Central and Regional Fisheries Boards and now Inland Fisheries Ireland) and Marine Institute (formerly Fisheries Research Centre). The authors collated all available data from published annual reports, fish kills reports and internal unpublished IFI reports. The data used varied in quality throughout the period with no, or sparse records available during certain periods in the 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s. <br/>Information on the species impacted and the number of mortalities was typically reported to the relevant agencies or gathered by those assessing the fish kills in response to these reports. This data was collated and summarised into four categories, i.e., salmonid, coarse fish, marine and other fish. In a small number (approximately 20) of cases “All species” was reported, we assigned these cases to salmonids as no other information was available.  <br/>The cause of most fish kill events was recorded at the time of the incident but in many cases, the reason was unreported because the cause was unknown, or suspected but unconfirmed. In addition, many records were described with varying degrees of detail rather than assigned to convenient and discrete categories. In other instances, more than one cause was described. Where data were available the specific cause was classified into eight broad categories, namely agriculture, construction, eutrophication, industrial, mining, municipal, other and unknown. <br/><br/>Where a fish kill impacted both a river and a lake, the data was treated as two separate incidents and assigned separate codes, but such instances were rare. Where a fish kill impacted both a tributary and a main channel, the data was treated as one incident. <br/>The data lags at least a year behind IFI’s internal reports to allow for prosecutions to be completed. <br/>Link to report - <a href="https://www.fisheriesireland.ie/media/fish-and-habitats-science-and-management-vol-3-fish-kills-in-ireland-history-current-status">Fish and Habitats: Science and Management, Vol. 3 Fish Kills in Ireland – History, Current Status and Recovery</a><br/><br/>Map contains data produced by the <a href="https://gis.epa.ie/GetData">Environmental Protection Agency</a>.<br/>

European Eel Fyke Net

The Eel Monitoring Programme (EMP) at Inland Fisheries Ireland uses fyke net surveys to assess yellow eel populations in lakes, main channel rivers, canals, transitional waters and lagoons. For further information on the methodology used in the surveys please contact IFI, methodology includes the use of chains of 5 nets, along with repeating historical surveys with chains of 10 nets. This dataset contains data including year of sampling, waterbody name and type, catchment name and river basin district (RBD). The Erne catchment is monitored as part of the North West International River Basin District (NWIRBD) as an eel management unit under Irelands Eel Management Plan in collaboration with agencies in Northern Ireland.<br/><br/>Catch data on yellow eels for surveys are presented, including, numbers of eels captured/measured and summarised length and weight results for summer fyke netting European Eel surveys (yellow eel life stage) along with length frequency breakdowns of catches. Net*Nights are calculated by multiplying the number of nets set by the number of night that the nets were allowed to fish. <br/>The European Eel Fyke Net dataset can be viewed and downloaded here: <a href="https://opendata-ifigeo.hub.arcgis.com/datasets/c6cb34109df841bd905e6a52e5297522_0/explore?location=53.380910%2C-8.360233%2C6.51">European Eel Fyke Net Data</a><br/>Map contains data produced by the <a href="https://gis.epa.ie/GetData">Environmental Protection Agency</a>.

Salmon Fishery Status

<p>The Technical Expert Group on Salmon (TEGOS) assesses the status of stocks annually in designated salmon rivers and issues associated catch advice for the following season using data from salmon angling and commercial catch records, fish counters and other sources to determine whether these stocks are meeting their respective conservation limits and to identify whether a surplus of salmon is available to be sustainably fished. Conservation limits are essentially the minimum number of returning adult salmon a river should have to ensure its stock remains sustainable.  For a number of rivers with a sizeable multi-sea-winter (MSW) stock component, catch advice is issued separately for 1SW (grilse) and MSW stocks.  Where stocks are below the conservation limit, catch-&amp;-release-only fishing or closure of the fishery may be advised. </p><p> </p><p>This scientific catch advice is presented to salmon fishery managers for decision-making on fishery status. Following a public consultation period, the fishery status and total allowable catch for salmon rivers are implemented in legislation each December for the following year.  </p><p> </p><p>Salmon rivers may also be subject to further bye-laws on opening &amp; closing dates, bag limits, permitted methods, tag requirements, etc. </p><p> </p><p>More information on salmon angling regulations can be found at <a href="https://fishinginireland.info/salmon/salmonregs/">https://fishinginireland.info/salmon/salmonregs/</a>. </p><p> </p><p>Salmon angling licenses may be purchased online at <a href="https://store.fishinginireland.info/">https://store.fishinginireland.info/</a> or at local IFI offices. </p><p> </p><p>More information on the National Salmon Assessment and related annual reports can be found at <a href="https://www.fisheriesireland.ie/what-we-do/research/technical-expert-group-on-salmon-tegos">https://www.fisheriesireland.ie/what-we-do/research/technical-expert-group-on-salmon-tegos</a>. </p>

2003 National Barriers

Barriers identified by fisheries staff, and by targeted surveys of likely barrier locations based on desk studies of channel topography for this study. The locations of long-established barrier sites (four major hydro-electric schemes) for the Liffey, Lee, Shannon and Erne were not marked, although habitat upstream was identified as a non-self sustaining salmon channel. Barriers were identified for the 2003 wetted areas study. <br/> <i>McGinnity, P.,Gargan, P.,Roche, W., Mills, P. &amp; McGarrigle, M. 2003.

Irish Marine Sports Fish Tagging Programme Dataset

<p>This is the dataset for shark, skates and rays caught, tagged and released by charter skippers and sea anglers for Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) (formerly Inland Fisheries Trust, then Central Fisheries Board). The dataset, relating to use of conventional tags, spans from 1970 to 2018. The fish capture and tagging location, as listed in the data table, is bound in the relevant ICES statistical sub rectangle (<a href="https://ices.dk/data/maps/Pages/ICES-statistical-rectangles.aspx">ices.dk/data/maps/Pages/ICES-statistical-rectangles.aspx</a>). The individual rectangles measure 20' of longitude by 10' of latitude and are roughly square in shape, measuring approximately 10 nautical miles by 10 nautical miles (or 18x18 km) at 60°N. Where required capture locations were assigned, because for many fish (all species) point-specific co-ordinates were not provided by all taggers. Fish tagged in any named bay were assigned to a centroid within that bay, and those tagged by specific skippers were assigned a point location 5 km from their vessel’s port of departure. Tagging events are generally distributed around the Irish coast but some fish were tagged off the UK coast. An interactive map incorporating all the tagging (open data) can be accessed in the app hosted in <a href="https://opendata-ifigeo.hub.arcgis.com/apps/ifigeo::irish-marine-sports-fish-tagging-programme-app/explore">IFI’s Open Data Hub</a>.</p><p> </p><p><i>The co-operation of all charter skippers and anglers involved in this long-term tagging programme is much appreciated</i></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://services-eu1.arcgis.com/tnPmSZbB6GEKJjh8/arcgis/rest/services/Irish_Marine_Sports_Fish_Tagging_Programme_Dataset_Full_view/FeatureServer/5?f=pjson&amp;token=3NKHt6i2urmWtqOuugvr9f_eH1nFwM8tms54FypJW7k2M3w1kvvHrkkuZCYFS--6W7Xw6NN5SWn3n94VExNahY51fHjFk2egZ-1WwlRH4uY_g7jXLWNIO_3rRMdguYt1mmwpFx95ZbSmOsWHBoxqv--u4g0xrZkoMJIzhZSWjj671f8qScyQget-mDEDFnmrZKmfn9LrwCRPMXXmQ6-e1ZJPledlgue_c8nUzMuLEnw.">REST (JSON)</a></p>
