Formal report series, containing results of research and monitoring carried out by Marine Scotland Science
This study provides an audit of the potential blue carbon resources present in the coastal waters around Orkney, bounded by the 12 nautical mile limit and including the Loch of Stenness brackish water lagoon. This report builds on previous work...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 5 No 17 Marine Scotland requires a detailed understanding of fishing activity in Scottish Territorial Waters to inform marine spatial planning at both the national and regional level, and in relation to...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 6 No 13 The main aim of this work was to trial the use of Succorfish’s SC2 VMS tracking technology on vessels from the inshore scallop dredge fleet around Shetland and to evaluate its effectiveness as a...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Volume 1 No 15 Many planktonic algae produce biotoxins that can affect grazer feeding, mortality and recruitment rates, or alter swimming behaviour and therefore predation risk. This report reviews the...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 6 No 15 The objective of the project was to determine spatial turnover rates of scallops at two spatial scales: (i) at the scale of individual fishing patches (tens to hundreds of metres), determining...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 3 No 1 The Scottish Government has set a range of challenging targets for energy and climate change. These recognise the potential to take advantage of the extensive marine energy resources (wind, wave...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 6 No 10 The aim of this project was to review the potential issue of "turnover‟ of individual seabirds at sea during the breeding season and to assess how this may lead abundance estimates derived from...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Volume 1 No 7 The purpose of the Saltire Prize is to stimulate innovation that will lead to delivery of commercial scale wave or tidal stream energy technology. Competitors for the Saltire Prize, of £10...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 7 No 10 Report of a three year project carried out by Marine Scotland to investigate the spring component of the River South Esk salmon stock. The following questions were addressed: • In which...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Volume 3 Number 9 Marine Scotland Science conducts annual underwater television surveys to estimate the abundance of Nephrops norvegicus on muddy sediments in seas around Scotland. Underwater footage is...
