New research led by scientists from the University of Exeter and INRAe in France suggests that chalk-stream salmon should be classified as a distinct sub-species.
The study involved comprehensive genetic testing of salmon samples collected from 42 rivers across England and Ireland.
This classification could have implications for conservation efforts and the management of salmon populations in these regions.
