visits. The fish species represented are:
•Total Visits
•Trout
•Grayling
•Barbel
•Chub
•Dace
•Pike
•Roach
•Bream
•Gudgeon

Analysis:
Dominant Species: Dace is the most abundant fish species caught, with a significant count of
451. This is considerably higher than any other species, indicating that Dace is the dominant
fish in this location.
Moderate Trout and Grayling Populations: Trout and Grayling show moderate catch numbers,
with 241 and 143 respectively, suggesting healthy populations of these species in the area.
Chubb and Gudgeon Populations: Chubb and Gudgeon also have notable catch numbers, with
105 and 107 respectively.
Lower Catch Numbers: Barbel, Pike, Roach, Bream, Perch, and Eel have relatively low catch
numbers, ranging from 2 to 32. This suggests either lower populations of these species or that
they are less frequently targeted by anglers.
Total Visits: The total number of visits is 32. This provides context for the catch numbers,
indicating the overall level of angling activity at Mansfield and Cleasby.
Observations and Interpretations:
The data suggests that Mansfield and Cleasby is a location with a high population of Dace.
The catch numbers indicate a diverse range of species, though Dace is clearly dominant.
The total visits are relatively low compared to the high Dace catch, suggesting a potentially high
catch rate per visit for this species.
The presence of Eel, albeit in low numbers, indicates a diverse aquatic ecosystem.
