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 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...
We followed the method of Häkkinen and Rhines (2004) to calculate the Sub-Polar Gyre Index, which has been defined as the first Principal Component (PC1) of an Empirical Orthogonal Function Analysis (EOFA) of the sea level anomaly field in the...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 7 No 29 Following a leak from the Clair platform on 2 October 2016, water samples were collected at five depths from ten sites, including a reference site, to assess any environmental impact of the oil...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 1 No 11 Identification of decapod crustacean larvae can be a difficult task. These taxa present complex life cycles with the presence of several morphologically different phases. In addition, the...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 1 No 4 An outbreak of infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) in the Scottish Shetland Islands during 2008/9 is described during which six sites were confirmed ISAV positive. Spread of the virus via movement of...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 7 No 7 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...
The Aquaculture Infrastructure Map has been created to support discussions about aquaculture developments that may help to increase aquaculture productivity in Scotland. The map is designed to assist strategic planning for this industry. The map...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 8 No 7 This paper considers the process of modelling sediment transport and morphological change in the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters using coastal area models. This region is atypical of regions...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 4 No 2 A biophysical modelling approach that accounts for regional oceanographic variation and some degree of biological realism was used to estimate larval transport of 18 benthic invertebrates...
