IFI assessing condition of salmon at Ballisodare River, Co. Sligo

Inland Fisheries Ireland(IFI) is monitoring the health of some wild salmon specimens on the Ballisadare catchment in Co Sligo.

At this stage, a small number of wild salmon appear to be suffering signs of ill health at the Ballisodare River, and IFI staff are monitoring their condition closely.

IFI is liaising with other agencies on the matter and IFI officers have been taking water samples today for analysis.

Thus far no mortalities have been recorded, and no other fish species appear to be affected.
