If you suspect you have caught an escaped farmed Atlantic salmon, escaped farmed Rainbow trout, escaped farmed Brown trout, non-native Pink salmon or a fish displaying external or internal signs of disease please implement the advice below:

• Please report any suspected catches of escaped farmed Atlantic salmon, Rainbow trout or Brown trout, non-native Pink salmon or diseased Atlantic salmon to DAERA Inland Fisheries anglingcorrespondence@daera-ni.gov.uk or Loughs Agency general@loughs-agency.org.
• If possible take a picture prior to release and attach this to any report.
• Do not dispatch fish unless in line with current fisheries regulations and bag limits.
• DAERA Inland Fisheries and Loughs Agency will monitor reports and develop further advice if required.
