Estimation of Scotland’s Atlantic salmon stocks is a key component of national and international management and requires information on rod catches. During 2020 rod fisheries were adversely impacted by restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Without accounting for reduced fishing effort, stock abundance may be underestimated due to lower-than-expected catch. This report describes methods used to account for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adult salmon stock assessments in Scotland.
