Lawrie Quinn: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what the tonnage of farmed salmon in England was in each year since 1990; and what the average size of the fish produced was in each year. [63361] Mr. Morley: Statistics for 1990 and 1991 are not currently available. Farmed Atlantic salmon production in England between 1992 and 2001 primarily involves the production of juvenile fish for on-growing in Scottish marine fish farms and for re-stocking rivers. The juvenile fish concerned are fry, parr and smolts which, depending on their stage of growth have an average weight of between 1 gram and 30 grams. Details are as follows: Juvenile Atlantic salmon production in England--1992 to 2001 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Juvenile fish Number (millions) Estimated tonnes 1992 7.2 37 1993 5.7 35 1994 3.6 41 1995 6.8 44 1996 6.0 26 1997 8.6 39 1998 8.6 59 1999 14.4 98 2000 6.8 54 2001 7.6 36 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. There has also been farming of some six tonnes of adult fish (estimated average weight of three kilos) in the period mainly for broodstock and research purpose.

[63362] Mr. Morley: Details of salmon stocking on the River Esk are shown in the table. The Esk was last stocked with salmon in 2002 in mitigation for a pollution accident-- compensation was obtained from the polluter. No sea trout have been stocked but between 700 and 1,200 brown trout have been stocked annually by angling clubs or fishery owners. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Norman Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will make a statement on the (a) likelihood of interbreeding of genetically modified fish and wild fish and (b) environmental consequences of such interbreeding, with particular reference to salmon. [8001] Mr. Meacher: [holding answer 15 October 2001]: It is likely that fertile genetically modified (GM) fish released into the environment would interbreed with the local wild population of the same species. The environmental consequences would depend on the individual circumstances. The likelihood of environmental consequences is the rationale behind the European Regulatory regime, which prohibits releases of genetically modified organisms into the environment. Directive 90/220 requires that anyone wanting to release genetically modified organisms in any country in the EU must have prior approval subject to a detailed risk assessment. Approval cannot be granted unless the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the regulatory authorities that all appropriate measures have been taken to avoid adverse effects on human health and the environment. Each application is considered on a case by case basis taking account of specific circumstances in each individual case; it is not possible to generalise. In the case of a proposal to release GM salmon the likelihood of interbreeding with the wild population is one of the factors which would be assessed. It is difficult to envisage approval being granted where the possibility of interbreeding with wild stock exists.
