Salmon fishery board condemns Usan’s fishing extension

A fishery board has condemned the Scottish government’s decision to extend the season for the country’s biggest wild salmon netting company.

The Esk District Salmon Fishery Board said giving Usan Salmon Fisheries an additional 14 days to catch fish was “recklessly irresponsible”.

It has described the move as making “no sense at all” in terms of conservation.
