With exciting results coming in for the the Pollack Fisheries Industry Science (FISP), we have produced a short report for summer 2024. This report gives initial insights into our work on pollack movement, populations and barotrauma.
The Pollack Fisheries Industry Science Partnership project is a collaboration between charter skippers, recreational anglers and researchers to discover more about pollack in Dorset, Devon and Cornwall. The project is collecting data about pollack populations, movement and habitats, as well as about fisheries interactions in the western English Channel.
A public conference is taking place on 12 February 2025, in Plymouth and online. If you would like to receive an invitation, please email fishtracking@plymouth.ac.uk.
The project is led by Dr Emma Sheehan and post-doctoral researcher Dr Thomas Stamp from the University of Plymouth. It is supported by funding from the Defra Fisheries in Science Partnership (FISP) scheme, and delivered in partnership with the Professional Boatman’s Association, the University of York, the Marine Biological Association and the Angling Trust, in collaboration with Cefas.
