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:-
A Manx bap and chicken katsu curry included in new school menu
Study finds Isle of Man's clothing offering rates poorly for women
Charity implores people to 'adopt responsibly' as it faces capacity issues
'Poor prospect' for qualifying this evening
