The 2017 assessment described the status and trends of external fish disease in common dab at monitoring stations in waters around the UK. A fish disease index (FDI) that combines observations of disease incidence and severity, disease weighting...
Marine Scotland is the custodian of a hydrodynamic model of Scottish continental shelf waters, the Scottish Shelf Model (SSM). The wider Scottish Shelf model (SSM) domain covers the Scottish continental shelf at relatively high resolution (up to...
Average (mean) physical variables from the FVCOM Scottish Shelf Model (SSM) interpolated to 1.5 x 1.5 km and 7 x 7 km regular grids. The data are averaged over 3x four month periods (MAMJ, JASO, NDJF), and are provided from model runs with and...
There are concerns that sea lice in the coastal environment are impacting on the return rates of wild Atlantic salmon on the West coast of Scotland. Studies in Norway and Ireland involving examining survival of groups of migrating salmon smolts...

Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 9 no 14 Accurately estimating the proportion of birds at collision risk height forms a key part of assessing potential collision risk at offshore wind farms. Recent advances in LiDAR and digital aerial...
Seasonal mean physical variables from the FVCOM Scottish Shelf Model (SSM) interpolated to 1.5 x 1.5 km and 7 x 7 km regular grids. The data are averaged over 3x four month periods (MAMJ, JASO, NDJF), and are provided from model runs with and...
