Translocation of vendace from Derwentwater to safe refuge locations (ENRR635)

This conservation project concerning vendace Coregonus albula was carried out in the winter of 2004/2005 and its purpose was to translocate vendace from Derwentwater in Cumbria to refuge locations at Daer Reservoir (Lanarkshire) and Burnmoor Tarn (Cumbria) to establish safeguard populations. A third site had to be identified in which to create a brood stock of this species.
