Quota increased again.
For the third successive year the TAC (Total Allowable Catch) has been increased for the Cork Blackwater.
In 2012, the Blackwater had the 5th. highest TAC in the Republic with 4,181.
The Blackwater had the 2nd. highest TAC in 2013 when it was increased to 6,631 & this position will be maintained in 2014 when the TAC will be 6,902.
This increasing TAC goes against the trend in the majority of other Irish rivers, where it is being decreased to conserve stocks. This shows the strength of stock levels in the Blackwater catchment which provides ~20% of the total salmon spawning habitat in Ireland in one river system.
