Hi Vicki

Thanks for the kind comments about my work! I do hold copyright on this illustration, so the best thing to do is to email me on info@lizzieharper.co.uk and let me know what you’d be using the illustration for, then we can come up with a price for usage. The hen salmon has restrictions on copyright. Many thanks, and looking forward to hearing from you

These are incredible. I’ve worked with fish all of my adult life and have been looking for an illustration of a salmon parr upon which to base a tattoo. Please can you tell me what the copyright would be in this situation. Would you mind me using your picture?

Hello Keef

Its a good question! I think you’re right, they do tend to be called Bucks. I got the terminology of a Cock salmon from https://atlanticsalmontrust.org/, and there are various other references out there. I also think the person who commissioned the work, a member of the https://www.wyeuskfoundation.org/ referred to the males as “Cocks”. But I think it’s a less common term than “Buck”

Stick on the safe side and refer to male salmon as Bucks and youll be fine!

Yours
Lizzie

All other on-line references I have found for MALE and female salmon call the male a BUCK and the female a hen. I accept that “cock and hen” makes more sense than “buck and hen”, but where did you get “cock” from.
I am contacting other sites asking where they got “buck” from.
