Abstract:
This paper gives details of the assessment of the salmon and sea trout stocks for the River Teign from the 1950s to date. It also gives for the salmon population the results of the compliance with egg spawning target assessment according to the Environment Agency national guidelines. Data used to evaluate the stocks include rod catches returns, net catches returns and juvenile survey. Total catches have been varying considerably from the 1950s to date, from 600 fish caught to 2500, then reaching their lowest level after 1994 with around 400 fish caught. They have been declining significantly since the beginning of the 1980s to date. Total sea trout catches have decreased strongly since the beginning 1980s.
