AS I write this commentary, Fisheries Management Scotland (FMS) have just posted a news story from the Guardian newspaper about restoring Finland's river ecosystems, although it doesn't mention salmon.Earlier in January, FMS posted the news that the River Tay fishing season was to be opened by actors Robson Green and Jim Murray, and at the end of December they posted the story from New Scientist about the Norwegian research on introgression from farmed salmon.Despite their interest in farmed salmon - their response to the Wild Salmon Strategy included calls for a reformed regulatory system that protects wild fish from the impacts of fish farming - they did not post news from any of the press coverage of my new paper (see "Fall in wild salmon numbers 'not down to fish farms'", Fish Farmer, January 2022). This was no surprise.
