2003 National Barriers

Published by Inland Fisheries Ireland

Barriers identified by fisheries staff, and by targeted surveys of likely barrier locations based on desk studies of channel topography for this study. The locations of long-established barrier sites (four major hydro-electric schemes) for the Liffey, Lee, Shannon and Erne were not marked, although habitat upstream was identified as a non-self sustaining salmon channel. Barriers were identified for the 2003 wetted areas study. <br/> <i>McGinnity, P.,Gargan, P.,Roche, W., Mills, P. &amp; McGarrigle, M. 2003.
