There is no reason why we can’t try and reintroduce the Burbot and as you correctly said they are still living in some European countries with weather conditions and temperatures similar to ours and now that we have pollution under control we could at least give them a try as I strongly believe that this is one animal that we could bring back to the U.K. after all the Wells catfish and Zander have been introduced from some of the countries that hold Burbot so why not reintroduce them

Probably a bearded rockling or a butterfish. Burbot (Lota lota) are a freshwater species that were only ever found in eastern flowing rivers from County Durham, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and East Anglia.
@mossig2 жыл бұрын
You guys probably are looking in the wrong place for them. They need cold clean water and thrive in lakes with no access for migration needed. Scottish lakes would be the place to look for them. Juveniles can be found under rocks and logs daytime even in shallow water. To catch one, fish from the ice at winter, night time. I bet UK anglers don't do that. You can also use a boat in December just before any ice forms. A big shiny lure with a single hook and a leader of 5 cm. Baited with a piece of herring or what not.Then bounce the lure in the bottom with regular pauses. Or use a dead bait on the bottom and just wait. During other seasons they are basically impossible to catch. I bet Loch Ness monster is big Burbots.

All the historical evidence indicates that in the UK, the Burbot was limited to eastern flowing English rivers, as far north as County Durham. None in Scotland, or even Northumberland.

The easiest way to determine if Burbots are present in any water is to look for their juveniles. The hide under rocks near the shoreline. Start lifting and see. You will find crawfish as well etc. In some lakes you lift ten rocks and you will find 3 Burbots in average.
