Statistical Salmon Fishery District and regional catch data are available within the time series: \u201cSalmon and Sea Trout fishery statistics: 1952 - 2025 - reported catch and effort by district and method\u201d {https://dx.doi.org/10.7489/12564-1}.\r\n\r\nThe 2011 to 2016 season salmon rod catch data by Stock Assessment Area, was collected at Statistical Salmon Fishery District level and split into stock assessment areas retrospectively by the data providers, where possible. Sea trout data from 2011 to 2016 was not split into stock assessment areas and are therefore, not included. The 2017 to 2025 season salmon and sea trout rod catch data are the summations of reports from individual fisheries. Stock Assessment Area data is not comparable with Statistical Salmon Fishery District data. This is because:\r\n{insert bullet} not all fisheries in a District are in a Stock Assessed Area\r\n{insert bullet} only assessed Stock Assessment Areas are included. (Some Stock Assessment Areas have insufficient data to allow an assessment to be completed.)\r\n{insert bullet} any reports of salmon caught and released out of season are not used in assessing stocks, and are not included in this dataset.\r\n{insert bullet} where fish counter data is used in the stock assessment, the assessment uses catch from upstream of the counter only. Any reports of catch from downstream of fish counters in those areas are not used in assessing stocks, and are not included in this dataset.\r\n\r\nRetained salmon, retained sea trout, and caught and released sea trout are included in the dataset though not used in the stock assessment. However, this does not include catch from below fish counters used in assessing stocks.\r\n\r\nRod effort from the 2023 to 2025 seasons are included. \r\n\r\nNo attempt has been made to correct for non-returns or incomplete information held in the register of fishery contacts.\r\n\r\nStock Assessment Areas included in this time series are those where the conservation status of salmon stocks are assessed for the Conservation of Salmon (Scotland) Regulations 2016 and the data will be used in the conservation assessment of rivers for the 2027 season. Assessment Areas are individual rivers draining to the coast, except for those areas where fishery catch cannot be assigned to individual rivers. In such cases, rivers are combined to form geographically-coherent groups of rivers.\r\n \r\nA list of Stock Assessment Areas with their corresponding Salmon Fishery District and Salmon Fishery Region is available to download below.\r\n\r\nMarine Scotland has published a summary of the \"2025 Official Statistics for the time series (1952 to 2025) for salmon and sea trout\u201d{https://www.gov.scot/isbn/XXXXXXXXXXX}.
