The National Salmon Commission met on 27 February 2006 to give final consideration to the conservation measures for both the commercial and angling sectors for the 2006-07 fishing season. The chairman submitted the report of the commission to me by letter on 28 February 2006. A decision needs to be made shortly to enable me to publish any proposed amendments to the wild salmon and sea trout tagging scheme. This will afford all interested parties an opportunity to consider the advice prior to the introduction of the regulations in April 2006.
