Investigating spatial trends in biodiversity around the South Arran MPA. Jones, I.

The South Arran marine protected area (MPA) on the West coast of Scotland contains one of only three no-take zones within the UK and has strict management plans for zonation within the MPA. Two years on from it’s formation, this study looks to use baited remote underwater surveys to investigate the fish assemblage and biodiversity within the MPA.

Atlantic cod, haddock and whiting stocks are reacting differently to intense fishing. This study investigated the recruitment of these species within the South Arran MPA. Cod arrived later in the …

Landscape effects on demersal fish revealed by field observations and predictive seabed modelling., Elliot S. et al.

Fisheries managements focuses on individual seabed types, without considering the wider ecosystem and environment. Underwater camera surveys reveal that variables of the wider landscape are associated with fish abundances with …

Juvenile gadoid habitat and ontogenetic shift observations using stereo-video baited camera., Elliott S. et al

Fishery measures to protect stocks need to account for the effect of fishing practices on seabed habitats, which can impact juvenile survival. Underwater cameras show that juvenile Atlantic cod prefer …
