Biosecurity

Biosecurity Measures Are A Vital Tool In Keeping Our Rivers, Not Just The Tay, Safe From Disease

Take a look at the Institute of Fisheries Management’s guide to biosecurity for fisheries.

Please remember to:

• Check your gear after leaving the water for mud, aquatic animals or plant material. Remove anything you find and leave it at the site.
• Clean everything thoroughly as soon as you can, paying attention to nets, waders, and areas that are damp and hard to access. Use hot water if possible.
• Dry everything for as long as possible before using elsewhere as some invasive plants and animals can survive for two weeks in damp conditions.
• Take a couple of minutes to read the guide and please then share with your friends.
