EMEC Fall of Warness Tidal Test Site: Wildlife Observations Project Annual Report
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Reports
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 5 No 7 A key concern expressed by policy makers, regulators and environmental stakeholders about deployment of marine energy devices in open waters relates to the possibility of negative impacts they may...
Improved estimates of digestion correction factors and passage rates for harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) prey
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 7 No 23 Diet composition estimates for pinnipeds are widely conducted using prey hard remains recovered from faeces. To estimate the size and number of prey consumed accurately, digestion correction...
Assessing the status of Scottish Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) stocks using reported catch data: a modelling approach to account for catch and release in the rod and line fishery
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Reports
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 5 No 11 This report describes a modelling approach which has been developed to correct the reported catch of Scottish rod fisheries by accounting for recaptures associated with these data. In the absence...
The Scottish Shelf Model. Part 3: St Magnus Bay Sub-Domain
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Reports,Marine Planning,Oceanography
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 7 No 5 Marine Scotland has led the development of a hydrodynamic model (FVCOM) for the Scottish continental shelf waters called the Scottish Shelf Model (SSM). A series of six reports have been produced...
Determination of the distribution of the resident inshore and offshore migratory cod populations around Shetland (IVa) and westwards into VIa
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Reports,Fisheries
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 7 No 28 The current genetic analysis alludes to finer scale structuring of Atlantic cod stocks in the IVa and VIa stock units than had previously been reported by Heath et al. (2014). Consistent with...
European Marine Energy Centre Scale Site Wildlife Observation Programme Data
Marine Planning
Wildlife observations, using methodologies developed by EMEC with input from SMRU, based on the methodology developed for the Fall of Warness tidal test site (Scapa Flow Methodology; Shapinsay Sound methodology), commenced at these sites in June...
Fine-scale harbour seal at-sea usage mapping around Orkney and the North coast of Scotland
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Reports,Marine Planning
The report describes how fine-scale harbour seal usage maps around Orkney and the north coast of Scotland, UK, can be used and interpreted, the caveats and limitations, and methodology used to produce them (Appendix A). 1. Harbour seal movement...
Development of a Model for Predicting Large Scale Spatio-Temporal Variability in Juvenile Fish Abundance from Electrofishing Data
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Reports,Freshwater
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 6 No 6 Models of juvenile salmonid abundance are required to inform electrofishing based assessment approaches and potentially as an intermediate step in scaling conservation limits from data rich to...
Halogentated Persistent Organic Pollutants in Scottish Deep Water Fish
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Reports
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Volume 1 No 5 Halogenated persistent organic pollutants [chlorobiphenyls (CBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD)], along with total lipid, were measured in the liver...
