Daily and season catch limits in place
Catch limits and other controls are in place for today's start of the king scallop fishing season.
Last year saw a large number of vessels in Manx waters over the opening days with exceptionally high landings.
That led to the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture imposing a temporary daily catch limit to ensure stocks were sustainable.
94 boats have licences for the next seven months to fish for king scallops within the Island's 12-mile limit.
DEFA Minister Geoffrey Boot says they will be keeping a close eye on how the season develops:-
