Quote:Study into viability of squid fishery
RESEARCH is under way to discover whether squid could become a viable commercial alternative for Scottish trawlermen, easing the pressure on fragile cod stocks and other threatened species.
It was revealed yesterday that the Seafish Industry Authority has launched a study with Aberdeen University, the Fisheries Research Service and the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science to examine the potential of developing a sustainable squid fishery.
The demand for Scottish "calamari" is growing in Europe, but little is known about the stock dynamics.
