FISH AND shellfish

Fish farms are evenly distributed over the country with a slight predominance to the middle and southern parts. Rainbow trout are the most frequently farmed fish followed by char, salmon and brown trout; salmon and brown trout are mainly for restocking of feral populations. Eels are imported from Severn through quarantine procedures for restocking of feral populations.
