Where recorded
Barbel-positive monitoring locations
The map shows only EA monitoring locations with at least one barbel record in this freshwater snapshot.
Select a point to inspect the monitoring record.
Positions are deliberately rounded. These are monitoring locations, not fishing access points.

Surveys recording barbel by year
Each bar counts EA surveys containing a record. Zero years are shown; counts are not treated as a population trend.
Measured during EA surveys
Environment Agency survey-recorded lengths
This distribution describes 429 fish measured during EA surveys—not average catch size or fishery records.
- Minimum
- 20 mm
- 25th percentile
- 30 mm
- Median
- 35 mm
- 75th percentile
- 40 mm
- Maximum
- 144 mm
Lengths are grouped into 100 mm bands. Only 0 measured fish have weights, so weight data is not summarised.
Interpretation
Evidence, not a fishing guide
These records establish observations during particular surveys. They do not establish present-day abundance, likely catches, legal access or stretch quality.
Page eligibility: manual whitelist; 18 positive sites and 46 positive surveys.
