	Restoration of a self-sustaining Atlantic salmon population to the river Lagan, Belfast, Northern Ireland
		Atlantic salmon became extinct in the River Lagan, which enters the Irish Sea through the port of Belfast, Northern Ireland, between 1750 and 1800, the extinction coinciding with a period of major population growth, industrialisation and finally the construction of a navigable waterway based on the river.
		The degree of success, first in generating returns to the river, and secondly in the development of some natural spawning, indicates that most of the assumptions made in interpreting the initial feasibility study, particularly about the extent and quality of the juvenile habitats, were correct.
		The general public impression of the river Lagan before salmon re-introduction and surrounding publicity was of a polluted, unhealthy river, and this impression influenced opinion to the extent that many were generally not prepared to believe in the possibility of salmon restoration.
