Beautiful day yesterday coming through Loch Ness to set our final sea receivers in the Moray Firth ahead of the smolt tagging! #missingsalmonproject Atlantic Salmon Trust Jonny Archer Matt Newton @FishtheNess Year of the Salmon - North Pacific

18 salmon smolts tagged and released for their journey downstream and off to where the great Atlantic roars.

The first of the receivers for the #missingsalmonproject was removed from the Conon this morning. The receiver has been in the river since the end of March and has been gathering information from the smolts which were tagged for the project as they migrated downstream past it

We need to find out why wild #salmon numbers are declining at such an alarming rate and prevent this iconic species from becoming #endangered ! We've supported the #MissingSalmonProject , you can too here ow.ly/RrPw30jY3Jq

Thanks to the great Findhorn team yesterday for letting us help set up the first ever trap there. We were so happy to help and chat about the project! 🐟 I look forward to working with you guys again soon! #MissingSalmonProject #MorayFishTrack #FishSci 🐟 SCENE Atlantic Salmon Trust

Yesterday my team finished the tagging for the #MissingSalmonProject with the final three fish tagged on the Conon. Thank you so much to cromartyfisherybailiffs for all of your help!

For every 100 salmon that head to the Atlantic ocean from the rivers of the United Kingdom, only 5 return. It should be 25 to 40 salmon that return. In this episode, we interview Mark Bilsby, CEO of the The Missing Salmon Project: buff.ly/2N2HQet #missingsalmonproject

To some, home is where the heart is, to me, home is where the best mountains and sunsets are and I’m at SCENE right now for the #missingsalmonproject . #Benvorlich

Many thanks to Macduff Harbour for their assistance!

We then headed over to our trap on the Deveron, looking for smolts. No such luck for the time being, but it was a good opportunity for me to have a proper look at the site! Plus, look at that sky! #MissingSalmonProject SCENE Atlantic Salmon Trust 🐟

National monitoring is showing just how bad juvenile salmon and trout abundance is, almost all the way through Wales.

Some of the places we’ve been placing receivers are incredible beautiful places. I wondered if the smolts appreciate where they are on their journey🤔? #wildsalmonfirst #missingsalmonproject #MorayFishTrack Atlantic Salmon Trust SCENE Matt Newton Rowan Smith

Feeling pretty chuffed to have tagged the very first and last smolt for #MissingSalmonProject ! Thanks so much to Cromarty Firth Fisheries Trust for their help with the Conon tagging! It was great to be back! #telemetry
