The River Dee Trust has published a short report in which it presents the finding of scale reading between 2015 and 2018. A salmon scale contains the life history of the fish and makes for interesting reading. The report provides details on:
- the age of juvenile fish prior to smolting and the difference between the upper and lower catchment.
- the time spent at sea before returning to the Dee and the differences between spring and summer and autumn fish
- weight and length information plotted against historical weights and lengths
