Dataset description

<div style='margin:0px; padding:0px; clear:both; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:"Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;'><div style='margin:0px; padding:0px; clear:both;'>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-&-release-only fishing or closure of the fishery may be advised. </div><div style='margin:0px; padding:0px; clear:both;'> </div><div style='margin:0px; padding:0px; clear:both;'>This scientific catch advice is presented to salmon fishery managers for decision-making on fishery status.
