Economically significant species

Economically significant species

Areas designated to protect economically significant species were established under earlier EC directives aimed at protecting shellfish (76/160/EEC) and freshwater fish (78/659/EEC).

The waters of the whole catchment are designated as ‘salmonid’ under the terms of the European Freshwater Fisheries Directive which provides statutory protection for the fishery.
