It pays to approach fish slowly, and often (as is the case with species like perch) they’ll come in to investigate. But others are spooked easily; the bubbles produced when diving can be a hinderance and really frighten fish, so slow and steady works best. ...
And a new 'shark map' reveals the places where the fish are already found in UK waters. It names Cornwall as the country's shark capital with at least 20 species found off the coast, followed by the Scilly Isles and Devon. An estimated 10 million small and 100,000 larger sharks from ...
The campaign will focus on increasing domestic consumption of UK seafood. It will promote species including: langoustines, crab, lobster, scallops, oysters, clams, mussels, squid, cuttlefish, turbot, plaice, sole and monkfish. The campaign will run throughout March, and will feature in national ...

The occurrence of both deep-water species (long-finned pilot whales and Atlantic white-sided dolphins) was also related to dynamic variables such as sea surface temperature (SST) or primary productivity. Two of the shelf species (northern minke whales and grey seals) were only linked to ...
