The sea and fresh waters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 December 2011
Synopsis
The pattern of the current Scottish sea fishery is described in terms of landings, value and species. The contribution from fresh water and from aquaculture is also outlined and the possibilities of distant water fisheries noted. The stability of the resource base is examined, and the effects of pollution assessed. For the future of fisheries, the importance of adequate management arrangements coupled with an understanding of how fishing pressure and fluctuations affect the stocks is emphasised.
