Scale Reading

Much like the growth rings on trees, the growth rings (or the circuli) on a fish scale can tell us the age of any individual fish. Scale reading provides the Tweed Foundation valuable insight into the demographics of the different stocks of fish throughout the Tweed catchment.

If you would like to learn how to read fish scales, or even have some scales that you would like read, then please get in touch with our volunteer coordinator, Erica, at echapman@tweedfoundation.org.uk
