Summary

Aggregated salmon and sea trout catch statistics are provided for 109 Salmon Fishery Districts, covering all of Scotland.

The categories by which sea trout data have been reported have varied through the time series (see “Collecting the Marine Scotland Salmon and Sea Trout Fishery Statistics”{https://www.gov.scot/isbn/9781805258438}). Finnock catches have been reported since 2004. Finnock, which may also be known as whitling or herling, are sea trout which have spent less than a year at sea and are making their first return to fresh water. They are not included in sea trout numbers.

Catches of farmed multi-sea winter (MSW) and one-sea winter (1SW) salmon have been reported since 1994.

Marine Scotland have published a summary of the "2022 Official Statistics for salmon and sea trout catches"{http://www.gov.scot/isbn/9781805258551} catches. Summary data for the time series are available from our data visualisation application, accessible from the related content section below.
