Research Inventory

The inventory of Research Relating to Salmon Mortality in the Sea, which was established in 2002 and is updated annually, is an essential tool in the development of research priorities for potential funding and in better coordinating existing research efforts. Projects in the inventory are allocated to one of the following five topic areas:

Long term monitoring e.g. time-series of marine survival/growth estimates.	Life history/biological processes e.g. freshwater factors; pre-fishery-recruitment marine factors.	Distribution/migration in the sea e.g. post-smolt surveys; migratory behaviour of individual fish.

Development of methods e.g. post-smolt survey methods; electronic tag technology.	Specific natural and anthropogenic factors e.g. fish farms; predation; obstructions to fish movements.

The 2009 inventory includes 47 on-going projects, with expenditure of approximately £6 million per annum. In 2009, a comprehensive review of the information contained in the inventory was undertaken to identify areas where there may be merit in encouraging improved coordination of research and to highlight gaps in the research programme where new work might significantly benefit the SALSEA Programme.
