In Scotland, the day to day responsibility for enforcing salmon fisheries regulations
rests with District Salmon Fishery Boards. Where a District Salmon Fishery Board
is formed it must be in accordance with the terms of the Salmon Act 1986. Members
of the board comprise proprietors of fishing rights in the district, or their
mandatories, and co-opted representatives of anglers and tenant netsmen where
appropriate. Proprietors are designated as upper or lower proprietors according
to the location of their fisheries and the members of the board who are proprietors
are elected from these two constituencies. The chairman, who must be a proprietor,
is elected by the whole board, i.e. proprietors and co-optees. In many cases,
boards invite representatives from SNH and SEPA to attend their meetings.
Where District Salmon Fishery Boards are formed they have statutory duties
and powers under the Salmon Act 1986. Although they are not statutory consultees
they should always be consulted regarding works that may affect watercourses
or fisheries. A Board has duties to appoint a Clerk, maintain a roll of upper
and lower proprietors, prepare an annual report, hold an annual meeting, and
call triennial elections. Boards have powers to do such acts, execute such works
and incur such expenses as seem to them expedient for the protection or improvement
of salmon within their districts, for the increase of salmon, and for the stocking
of waters of their districts with salmon.
Each Board also has powers to appoint water bailiffs, sue in the name of the
clerk, impose an assessment on each salmon fishery in its district, charge interest
on arrears of assessments, borrow money, and exempt persons from certain provisions
of the law for scientific and other purposes.
