Blue Book Series

The Atlantic Salmon Trust’s ‘Blue Books’ have long been regarded as leading resources in the field of wild Atlantic salmon research, management and conservation. Over the decades they have brought together research findings from ourselves and our partners when significant milestones are reached, such as the completion of a research programme, or in response to important wild salmon developments.
