HC Deb 16 December 1975 vol 902 c606W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the volume of salmon, sewin and trout landed from lakes and rivers in the United Kingdom last year; and what proportion of these were from Wales.

Mr. Bishop

Some 825,000 salmon and migratory trout were taken in the United Kingdom during 1974, of which about 8 per cent. were caught in Wales. No figure is available distinguishing between catches taken in rivers and lakes, and elsewhere; or for non-migratory trout.
