Abstract:
Photographic and trawl surveys of scampi in SCI 1 and 2 were conducted in February/March 2015. For SCI 1 both surveys suggest that population biomass and abundance has remained relatively stable since the early 2000s. For SCI 2 both surveys suggest that population biomass and abundance has increased since 2006. About 5600 scampi were tagged and released to investigate growth, and recaptures to date have been low. Scampi emergence patterns were investigated with acoustic tags.
