This rapport will be partly in Danish partly in English as my diary will be in Danish, but the descriptions of the felsite axes and knives will be in English. February 8th to 10th I introduced both Northern Worlds and Shetland – the border of Farming 4000-3000 BC for Shetland Museum and Amenity Trust in Lerwick and met the Shetland part of the network behind the project: Curator Jenny Murray and Ian Tait from the Museum and Val Turner from Amenity Trust. All agreed to be part of the network and recommended that Torben Ballin from Stirlingshire should be incorporated. The network group consisted then of the mentioned persons and curator Flemming Kaul from the Danish National Museum and curator Preben Rønne from Veskapsmuseet in Trondheim. From the 25th to the 29th of May I participated in a conference in Alta, Northern Norway, with rock art and the spread of agriculture as themes. Flemming Kaul and Preben Rønne participated in the conference too and all three of us surveyed the surroundings along the Alta River in order to estimate the farming potential of the area. The rock carvings at hjemmeluft/Jibmaluokta, which is a Worlds Heritage site, contain mostly rock carvings from prehistoric hunter gatherer society, but there are also carvings of ships, which could de Per.
  • Supplementary Material Study Area Clift Sound Lies South of Shetland

    Supplementary Material Study Area Clift Sound Lies South of Shetland

    Supplementary Material Study area Clift Sound lies south of Shetland, the islands of Trondra and East Burra to the west. It has steep- sides and a relatively unrestricted geomorphology (Fig. 1a). Two main types of soil are present in the catchment of Clift Sound: humus-iron podzols cover the islands of East Burra and Trondra, while peaty soils dominate the eastern coast of Clift Sound. Winds are generally from the southwest and, due to the geometry of the sound and the surrounding highlands, can be channelled and result in intensified currents. Tidal energy can also be channelled into more vigorous currents (Cefas 2007a). Sand Sound is located in the southwest of Shetland (Fig. 1a) and comprises three areas: the head of the voe, the inner basin and the outer basin. The head of the voe, a sheltered area, receives freshwater from a significant number of rivers draining the surrounding land. Three main types of soil characterise this area: peaty gleis, peaty podzols and peaty rankers. Here, the voe is very shallow and drying can occur in its eastern and western periphery (Cefas 2007b, 2008b). In contrast, the rest of the voe is much deeper. The inner basin gently slopes away reaching more than 20m at its maximum depth; drying can still occur where this basin meets the head of the voe (Cefas 2007b). The outer basin has steep sides, is 42 m deep at its deepest point and completely open to sea. A shallow sill divides the inner from the outer basins (Cefas 2007b) Busta Voe, Olna Firth and Aith Voe are part of a major inlet on the southern coastline of St Magnus Bay on the west coast of Shetland (Fig.1a).

  • Fast-Tracking Disease-Ridden Scottish Salmon

    Scottish Salmon Watch, 28 May 2018 Hard Evidence: Fast-Tracking Disease-Ridden Scottish Salmon - Data reveals a shortening of production cycle from 20 to 16 months in last decade - Deaths due to disease 'masked' via early harvest claim Scottish Parliament - 'Masked' is an inappropriate word argues Marine Harvest - "The increased ability to grow larger smolts provides the opportunity to reduce the marine grow out phase of farmed salmon, thus reducing the time spent in sea and the length of exposure to marine challenges such as sea lice," claims 'Scotland’s 10 Year Farmed Fish Health Framework' A data analysis by Scottish Salmon Watch (see Appendix 1) backs up a claim by the Scottish Parliament's Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform Committee in March that salmon farmers in Scotland are harvesting early due to lice, disease and mortality problems. Data accessed via Scotland's Aquaculture web-site reveals that the average production cycle for Scottish salmon farms is currently 16.5 months (sourced from 2013-2017 data - sadly monthly biomass data is only available up to December 2017). This compares to 20.1 months a decade ago (sourced from 2002-2007 data - monthly biomass data is only available from 2002). Whilst operators in the period 2002 to 2007 all reported production cycles around 20 months (the shortest was Grieg Seafood at 19.4 months and the longest was Marine Harvest at 20.5 months) there was significant fluctuations for the current period (2013-2017). Loch Duart and Cooke Aquaculture reported the shortest production cycle at 13.2 months and 13.5 months respectively with Marine Harvest reporting 16.2 months; both Scottish Sea Farms and The Scottish Salmon Company reporting 18 months and Grieg Seafood the longest at 19.1 months.
