Spatial and Temporal Patterns in Scallop Recruitment and their Implications for Management - MF1104
|
Description
Summary Objective:
Determine the key biological and hydrographical processes governing the recruitment of scallops in the English Channel, and the potential consequences of climate change upon these processes. Develop a forecasting model for scallop populations which incorporates spatial components based on new insights into scallop recruitment gained during the research.
Key Customer Purpose:
Enhance the ability of Cefas to deliver specific advice to Defra regarding the management of scallop stocks, in particular with reference to spatial management plans, through a greater understanding of the spatial and temporal patterns of recruitment. |
