ATTENTION: CRAYFISH PLAGUE – EMERGENCY CONTAINMENT MEASURES

By River Griese Trout & Salmon Anglers Association on 30/05/2017

In response to a recent outbreak of Crayfish Plague in the River Suir, emergency disease containment measures are needed to help prevent its spread.

Crayfish Plague is a disease that kills our native White-clawed Crayfish.  All crayfish that become infected will die.  Crayfish Plague is easily transmitted in water or via contaminated equipment (for example on canoes, waders or nets).

Ireland holds the largest population of the White-clawed Crayfish that remains in Europe.

HELP PROTECT OUR NATIVE CRAYFISH FROM THIS DISEASE

All water users are asked to operate a temporary ban on moving water sports and angling equipment out of the River Suir catchment – commencing immediately.

Water sports and angling equipment currently in use in the Suir catchment may continue to be used there but boats or angling equipment should not be transferred out of the catchment.

Limit your activity to the river section where you normally operate, avoid moving around the catchment and follow biosecurity protocols – Check, Clean, Dry.

Attention all Anglers

Due to the confirmed outbreak of the Crayfish Plague on the River Suir stretching from Clonmel to Carrick on Suir, Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) have issued this request.

All anglers are requested to take precautions to limit the spread of Crayfish Plague within the Suir and prevent its spread to other river catchments.

The white clawed crayfish is a protected species and the juveniles are very important as fish food.

Please do the following after fishing.

  1. Thoroughly check all angling equipment for muck & vegetation.  Clean, dry and disinfect your equipment with Vircon or Milton Fluid.  Washing with hot water > 40 Degrees Celcius is also advisable for your equipment.  Alternatively drying your equipment for 48 Hours is useful.
  2. This is a highly contagious disease.  Please avoid moving equipment to other catchments such as the Nore, Barrow, Blackwater and all other waters.
  3. It is best practice to Check, clean and dry all angling equipment after use regardless of what type of angling was undertaken.
  4. Please notify visiting anglers.

Thank you for your co –operation.

This message is going out to all partaking in river based activities, angling,  kayaking, canoeing and other forms of boating.
