Fifteen tows were completed in the Sound of Harris and all razor clams observed were Ensis siliqua. Generally low densities of clams were found varying from zero to 0.215 m-2. Most of the area surveyed was likely too exposed to favour razor clams with clean, largely featureless sand occupied by the occasional crab or small fish. The only tows with higher densities of razor clams (>0.1 m-2) were in, or adjacent to, the more sheltered Sound of Berneray. Forty-two tows were completed along the Ayrshire coast between Irvine and Girvan. These revealed a few areas with densities above one razor clam m-2, for example some tows between Girvan and Turnberry Point. For all other tows in Culzean Bay (north of Turnberry Point), Meikle Bay (just south of Troon) and North Bay (just north of Troon) densities were in the range 0.023 to 1 razor clam m-2. The size distributions of razor clams (E. siliqua) across all sites appeared rather similar with two modes, one at around 120-130 mm and the other around 175 mm. These modes possibly represent two age groups but there was little evidence of large numbers of smaller recruiting clams at any of the sites. The use of the combined electrofishing and towed video rigs to assess razor clam stock abundance worked well with 9-13 tows being completed each day when weather permitted surveying. The video recorded was generally of sufficient quality to allow identification of objects with only a few tows having parts obscured by macroalgae, sea-grass or sediment kicked up by the sled.
