I would be interested to know if anyone has experience of the levels of salt that would/could be tolerated by great crested newts (and other species as well), for example ponds, ditches and lagoons on coastal marshes or similar.

I have looked on the internet but not seen any references of studies into this. My initial thinking would be that brackish water would not be favourable but I am open to information to the contrary!

Thanks

Leila Griffiths

As marsh frog are listed on Schedule 9 of the W & C Act, we are supposed to kill them if they come into our possession.

I am aware of humane control methods for signal crayfish (put them in freezer) but not for frogs.

Any advice? Are people actually doing this in practice?

Thanks
