Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Volume 3 Number 7: Scallop Abundance in the Lamlash Bay No Take Zone - A Baseline Study

Lamlash Bay, in the Firth of Clyde, was declared Scotland‟s first No Take Zone (NTZ) in 2008. This report presents the results of photographic surveys undertaken by Marine Scotland Science in July 2009 and November 2010 during the first phase of a study
