Burrishoole Catchment Fish Surveys

Data collected includes the following: Densities of yellow eel, juvenile salmon and juvenile trout at 40-50 sites, fish (per m2) and lengths of individual fish. Data collected from the Burrishoole catchment rivers and lakes within Furnace Newport Co. Mayo. Data surveys have taken place annually since 1959. Data surveys have involved surveys of salmon and trout stocks taking place in the rivers and main lakes of the catchment. Electrofishing, with 3 fishing depletions, are used for salmonids in the streams and fine mesh beach seines are used in the lakes. Data has been collected to ascertain knowledge on the abundance of key target species in the Burrishoole catchment. Data originally collected by the Guinness Estate and more recently by the Marine Institute Newport facility team. Data is 100% complete for each year since 1959.

Purpose
Juvenile stock and stream eel assessment to quantify long term changes in the population dynamics of the freshwater component of the salmon, trout and eel stocks. These complement and enhance migratory fish data collected from the traps in the case of salmon and eel. For brown trout, the juvenile surveys are the only population quantification for the catchment. Juvenile surveys are used to ground truth assessment methodologies which are used in catchments where quantified fish census data (ie. traps, counters) are not available.

Supplemental Information
Digital database created from fish survey collection. 2012 marked the completion of 22 years continuous electro fishing survey in the Burrishoole catchment. Beach seine data is complete for most years, with 2011 and 2012 absent dues to weather conditions.
