To conduct a chemical survey of the water quality at Borwick Fishery to justify the potential impact mass baiting may have on fish welfare.

Abstract

1.1 Aims and Objectives

- To investigate chemical properties of water quality at Borwick fishery within the lakes at Borwick Fishery.
- To analyse water quality properties nitrogen, sulphate, chlorine, phosphate, pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature and organic matter.
- To identify and explain the findings shown from Borwick fishery to inform management.
- To compare finding from lakes at Borwick Fishery, to establish differences in chemical properties.
- To establish the significance baiting can have on the ecology and water quality of the fishery.
