"There is potential for pink salmon to be observed in rivers in the Foyle and Carlingford catchments this year," said Dr Sarah McClean from the Loughs Agency.The Loughs Agency said pink salmon have spread to parts of northern Europe after stocking programmes in Russian waters in the 1950s.In 2017, 2019 and 202, pink salmon were recorded in "unprecedented numbers in river systems on the island of Ireland, the agency said.
"We are also asking that, if possible, any specimens found are retained for the purposes of verification and advancing understanding on this species."
