The Salmon Carcass Tagging (Scotland) Regulations 2016
These Regulations make provision for and in connection with tagging the carcasses of salmon within inland waters in Scotland. The duty to affix a tag to salmon carcasses does not apply to any salmon which is taken in fish farms or where the exemptions at section 27 of the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 2003 apply. They do not apply where salmon is caught by rod and line and where the salmon is taken in the Lower Esk south of the medium filum under the authority of a licence issued by the Environment Agency.
