Results
Results and impact
Present maintenance procedures relying mainly on brood fish rearing and stocking of juveniles is covered by taxpayers money (via state budget). Therefore more efficient maintenance protocols would ease taxpayers share of the total costs. Private water owners and the authorities being responsible for stocking obligations would also benefit from better quality of stocking material. In addition, all fishermen would also benefit from maintenance of viable landlocked salmon stocks.
