Record numbersof fish in rivers

The number of sea trout and salmon found in some English rivers hit record highs this year, said the Environment Agency.

More than 15,000 salmon and sea trout have been recorded this year migrating up the River Tyne – a waterway in which no salmon and trout were seen 50 years ago. This was the highest number since records began.

Record numbers of sea trout were recorded in the Thames, once declared biologically dead.
