  1. Integrated Aquatic Resources Management for Scotland , ROI & NI Welcome and why are we here? AST & IBIS Colin Adams A project supported by the European Union's INTERREG IVA Programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body

  2. Project Partners : • Loughs Agency • Scottish Centre for Ecology & the Natural Environment – University of Glasgow • Marine Lab. - Queens University Belfast • £8M collaboration

  3. 33 – current researchers

  4. 34 completed or current research projects

  5. 70 years of research delivered by June 2015 Conservation Management Shellfish Aquaculture Management Mitigating Human Impact

  6. Robert Brackley The effect of small scale in-stream hydro-schemes on riverine fishes • Small-scale in-stream hydro-electric generating schemes are burgeoning • The impact of this new technology on ecosystems is poorly understood • This project is : • Using radio telemetry, PIT tagging to quantify salmonid behaviour • Instrumented weir and Archimedes screw generator • ultimate goal provide clearer guidance on appropriate sitting of small hydro schemes

  7. Travis van Leeuwen “Life history strategies in Salmotrutta” • Sea trout support important fisheries • numbers have been dropping rapidly Ireland/Scotland over the last 2 decades • Q – What is a sea trout ? • What individual characteristics promote sea migration? • What environmental conditions promote sea migration? • This project is: • Individual fish characteristics – size growth & metabolic rate • Environmental conditions that promote smolting – growth opportunity • Genetic background – do sea trout and brown trout always derive from the same population?

  8. The Impact of Riverine Barriers on the Freshwater Migration of Atlantic Salmon Matt Newton
