What a strange world we live in. Mitigation stocking stopped throughout Wales because its harmfull on genetic grounds at least in the view of NRW and its 'experts'.
However their counterparts in the EA obviously don't share this view otherwise why would they be advertising the below job at the Kielder hatchery where mitigation stocking plays a KEY role apparently. Having said that whoever takes the job better beware that he may not have a long career there if the anti stocking brigade get their way.
