Dr Karen Galtress says conserving stocks so they remain resilient during period of extreme weather is 'essential', and may become increasingly common.
A number of DEFA initiatives are underway to protect vulnerable populations, like the construction of a 'fish pass' on the Santon Burn to allow salmon breeding in the river's upper waters.
Dr Galtress told Manx Radio ongoing monitoring is essential:
