Stock Health of the King Scallop (Pecten maximus) Dredge Fishery

Exploring the health and resilience of deep-water scallop stocks around Orkney

This project was part of a larger project exploring the spatial dynamics of the King Scallop fishery within Orkney. It used dredgers to measure areas too deep for commercial divers to go in and gave us a wider survey area.

More information on the findings of the dredge surveys can be found here.
