The Seabed Geomorphology and Geological Structure of the Firth of Lorn, Western Scotland, UK, As Revealed by Multibeam Echo-Sounder Survey John A
Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, 105, 273–284, 2015 (for 2014) The seabed geomorphology and geological structure of the Firth of Lorn, western Scotland, UK, as revealed by multibeam echo-sounder survey John A. Howe1, Roger Anderton2, Riccardo Arosio1, Dayton Dove3, Tom Bradwell3, Philip Crump1, Rhys Cooper3 and Andre Cocuccio4 1 Scottish Association for Marine Science, Scottish Marine Institute, Oban PA37 1QA, UK. 2 Kilmichael House, Kilmichael Glassary, Lochgilphead PA31 8QA, UK. 3 British Geological Survey, Murchison House, West Mains Rd, Edinburgh EH9 3LA, UK. 4 Maritime and Coastguard Agency, Spring Place, 105 Commercial Road, Southampton SO15 1EG, UK. ABSTRACT: This paper presents recently collected swath bathymetry from the Firth of Lorn. 553 km2 of data were collected during 2012–2013 as part of the INIS Hydro (Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland Hydrographic Survey) programme. The area proves to consist of bedrock-dominated seabed, divided into narrow, stratigraphically- constrained and glacially-over-deepened basins. The bedrock is composed of late Proterozoic Dalradian metasediments overlain unconformably by Old Red Sandstone (ORS) sediments and lavas of ?Silurian-age. The central region of the Firth of Lorn is dominated by a vertical cliff, up to 150 m high and extending for approximately 24 km. This feature, here termed the Insh Fault, may have originated as a Dalradian extensional fault, been reactivated as an ORS feature and now forms a fault-line scarp with resistant ORS rocks on the downthrown side, ﬂanking the more deeply eroded metasediments exposed in the basin. Tertiary intrusives are common, in particular, swarms of Paleocene dolerite dykes exposed on the sediment-free bedrock surfaces, and can be traced for many kilometres.

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.
