Review of non-lethal seal control options to limit seal predation on salmonids in rivers and fish farms

Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned report

Abstract

This paper reviews measures that have been adopted in the UK and overseas that could assist in developing non-lethal strategies to control seal predation on salmon in rivers, and to prevent seals from depredating at marine finfish farms. It then presents a number of assessments and recommendations for use of, or further development of, specific measures.

While the report addresses the river and fish farm problems separately, some of the methods are similar so there is some inevitable overlap.
