FISA Project 07/14: Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 8 No 2 Twin trawl trials were conducted in the West Coast of Scotland to examine the selectivity of Nephrops (Nephrops norvegicus) with regards to codends of the following mesh size...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 6 No 5 The introduction of hatchery-reared Atlantic salmon smolts to rivers in support of local salmon fisheries (termed ranching) is a controversial subject with little information available to fishery...
This dataset includes a series of GIS layers produced from the preliminary versions of the seabed bathymetry survey work undertaken off the west coast of Lewis in 2011. Bathymetric data collected during the survey has been converted for use in...
A key concern expressed by policy makers, regulators and environmental stakeholders about the deployment of marine energy devices in open waters, relates to the possibility of the negative effects they may have on marine mammals and diving birds...
This dataset includes a series of GIS layers produced from the preliminary versions of the seabed bathymetry survey work undertaken off the west coast of Lewis in 2010. Bathymetric data collected during the survey has been converted for use in...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 8 No 5 The primary aim of this project was to investigate the commercial viability of fishing with demersal fish traps and automated handlines in the Scottish demersal fishery. Establishing a demersal...
This dataset includes a series of GIS layers produced from a Marine Scotland Science survey of the Pentland Firth. Bathymetric data collected during the survey has been converted for use in ARCGIS and several products are derived from this...
