In the years 1972 to 1974, inclusive, a total of 50 salmon originally tagged as smolts in British rivers were recaptured in Irish waters. Although it is not possible to give precise reasons for these changes, some factors can be largely eliminated. The results do, however, indicate that salmon and grilse derived from British rivers occur in Irish inshore waters to a greater extent than was generally accepted.
