The Scottish Government provided funding for a fisheries science project aimed at improving the assessment of northern shelf ling. UHI Shetland was awarded nearly £74,000 from the Scottish Government’s Marine Fund Scotland scheme for the work. The project will develop a stock assessment model by combining scientific survey data with information generated by the Shetland Fish Producers Organisation and the Scottish Fishermen’s Organisation.
