Shipping by...



One of the many in our local fishing fleet... however, that day its transponder wasn't on so no online tracking and I couldn't make out it's name here either.... clearly it is trawling, rather than creeling...

      Well Madi sad to say the commercial fishing has done a lot of damage to fish stocks in the Clyde... herring and other associated fishes are very much reduced. There are smaller boats who use creels so they will be after crabs and langoustine (small Scottish lobster); however, it is likely this fellow is after prawns... A snippet from an authority

      Prawn trawling and scallop dredging are the fisheries of last resort on the Clyde and the report indicates that the by-catch from the prawn trawlers may be responsible for the absence of larger and older fish.
