#50: -  Can you explain how the sea trout recovered on the Tyne at very much the same rate as the salmon?  No hatchery contribution for them.  It was the cleaning up of the estuary that saved the Tyne , not Peter Gray.

 Ecologically the sea trout is a very different creature to the salmon. The sea trout fry and parr were already in the tyne in the shape of resident brown trout, every year they migrated and just didn't return, until the estuary was cleaned up. If you read the EA summary you have to read it all.
