Phase IIa Report Raw Data

Since 2011, tissue samples have been collected annually from the broodstock parents, as well as from stocked juveniles and fish caught at various life stages in the river by electrofishing, smolt trapping and angling.

RLI was provided with tissue samples by the River Carron Conservation Association. Fin clips from broodstock used for brood pairings in 2014; fin clips from smolts collected in the River Carron smolt trap in 2016 and 2017, and fin clips from rod-caught adults that returned to the river in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
