European Bass Stocks Under Threat
Decline Alarms Anglers
UK anglers will soon start to see a disastrous decline in both the number and size of bass available in the important and valuable Recreational Fishery.
That is the conclusion from studies that show an alarming reduction in the number of juvenile fish coming into Southern nursery areas indicating a collapse in recruitment in recent years.
And if that isn’t bad enough, this harsh winter could very well have wiped out most of the young fish expected to have recently entered the nursery areas.
