How have you valued a fishery?

We have kept extensive records of various fisheries that have been sold both on and off market going back over 20 years. This enables us to value fisheries on comparative evidence (as houses are valued).

Where a fishery is producing an income, or has the potential to, this will be taken into account and valued along investment principles. Other factors such as prevailing economic conditions, the attractiveness of a site or the value of the different components (house, holiday lets, farmland, woodland etc) will have been taken into account. Salmon rivers are normally valued on a value per fish basis.
