Summary

An investigation was carried out to study the behaviour of three fishing fleets, two in Scotland and one in Italy, by using GPS-linked position recording units (PRUs). Eighteen fishing vessels, representative of the Nephrops (Nephrops norvegicus) trawler fishing fleet in the Clyde Sea area and Sound of Jura, were fitted with PRUs. Seventeen vessels, in the Ancona District of the Central Adriatic, which fish for clams (Chamelea gallina) by hydraulic dredge, were also fitted with position recording units. Position recording units were used to identify the spatial pattern of fishing effort and landings. By using PRUs, it is possible to gain a better understanding of fishery stocks for analytical and fishery-independent assessments. The PRU methodology also provided information on the fisheries impact on the environment. An investigation into the fishing power in the Clyde and Adriatic fisheries was also undertaken.
