ABSTRACT The impact of meteorological factors on the condition of N. norvegicus caught for the live export market was assessed by correlating the mean wind speed and aerial temperature on the day of landing with the percentage of catch, on corresponding days, rejected for live transport. The study used the catch data from two Nephrops trawlers operating in the Clyde Sea area, Scotland. Results illustrated a large degree of variability in the condition of animals on arrival at the p...

GBP 50m prawn catch caught in cod row
The Scotsman ; A FISHERMEN'S leader yesterday warned that the North Sea prawn fishery - Scotland's most valuable catch - was about to be sacrificed on the altar of cod conservation. George MacRae, the secretary of the Scottish White Fish Producers' Association, said there was worrying evidence that the fishery,
Celestial mechanics, sea-level changes, and intertidal ecology.
The Biological Bulletin ; Mechanistic interpretations of cyclical variations in paleoclimates have been based, since the late 1800s, on celestial mechanics, especially the Earth's orbital eccentricity, orbital inclination, and axial tilt. Cycles of 41,000 and 100,000 years have characterized the periodicity of glaciation
