  • Colin G Carnie
    RURAL ECONOMY AND CONNECTIVITY COMMITTEE SALMON FARMING IN SCOTLAND SUBMISSION FROM COLIN G CARNIE I have fished on rivers and lochs on the West Coast of Scotland since a holiday at Invergarry in 1946, and subsequently including Loch Morar, Strontian River, River Ailort and Loch Eilt, River Ewe and Loch Maree, River Shiel, Loch Eck, River Aray, River Nith, and the River Awe for more than 60 years. I have advised proprietors and District Boards on hydrology, river hydraulics, habitat enhancement and aspects of fishery management over the past 30. I was a member of the Salmon Advisory Committee (Chairman: Professor George Dunnet) and the Scottish Salmon Strategy Task Force (Chairman: Lord Nickson). Both committees were discouraged from commenting on the impact of the salmon farming industry on wild fish either by obstruction “the Minister won’t sign off the report,” and obfuscation in the latter report in 1997 “…there was a lack of conclusive proof that heavy infestation by sea lice of wild stocks arising from salmon farming had been the principal cause of decline of sea trout and some salmon stocks in the West Highlands”. One cannot provide proof in nature and certainly not conclusive proof. The proper approach twenty-one years ago should have been a precautionary one. I have taken an active interest in the problems relating to the collapse of stocks of salmon and sea trout since the early 1980s. I have caught fresh-run adult salmon with large numbers of juvenile lice and I have caught post sea trout smolts returning early to freshwater carrying more than 40 lice.

    Isle of Skye and The Small Isles - Scotland Trip Notes TRIP OVERVIEW Take part in a truly breathtaking expedition through some of the most stunning scenery in the British Isles; Scotland’s world-renowned Inner Hebrides. Basing ourselves around the Isles of Skye, Rum, Eigg and Muck and staying on board the 102-foot tall ship, the ‘Lady of Avenel’, this swimming adventure offers a unique opportunity to explore the dramatic landscapes of this picturesque corner of the world. From craggy mountain tops to spectacular volcanic features, this tour takes some of the most beautiful parts of this collection of islands, including the spectacular Cuillin Hills. Our trip sees us exploring the lochs, sounds, islands, coves and skerries of the Inner Hebrides, while also providing an opportunity to experience an abundance of local wildlife. This trip allows us to get to know the islands of the Inner Hebrides intimately, swimming in stunning lochs and enjoying wild coastal swims. We’ll journey to the islands on a more sustainable form of transport and enjoy freshly cooked meals in our downtime from our own onboard chef. From sunsets on the ships deck, to even trying your hand at crewing the Lady of Avenel, this truly is an epic expedition and an exciting opportunity for adventure swimming and sailing alike. WHO IS THIS TRIP FOR? This trip is made up largely of coastal, freshwater loch swimming, along with some crossings, including the crossing from Canna to Rum. Conditions will be challenging, yet extremely rewarding. Swimmers should have a sound understanding and experience of swimming in strong sea conditions and be capable of completing the average daily swim distance of around 4 km (split over a minimum of two swims) prior to the start of the trip.

  • The Metamorphism of Minor Intrusions Associated with the Newer Granites of the Western Highlands of Scotland
    Downloaded from http://sjg.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on September 26, 2021 Letters to the Editors THE METAMORPfflSM OF MINOR INTRUSIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEWER GRANITES OF THE WESTERN HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND Sms,—Dr Dearnley (1967) has suggested that the minor intrusions northwest of the Great Glen were deformed and metamorphosed during the later stages of deposition of the Lower Old Red Sandstone formation. I should like to comment on the assumption upon which this date is based, that is, that the ' main suite' of intrusions northwest of the Great Glen can be correlated with the Etive dyke swarm. I have been working for some years in the Appin district and have been able to establish the following sequence of events: (1) the emplacement of numerous small plugs of pyroxene-diorite and appinitic diorite and lamprophyre sheets (2) the emplacement of the Ballachulish complex and (3) the emplacement of the Etive complex. Therefore, the Etive complex dyke swarm is quite distinct from the appinitic intrusions of this part of Scodand. Consequently there can be little reason for assuming that this porphyrite dyke swarm can be correlated with a swarm of minor intrusions in Morar and Moidart, which include important lamprophyric, appinitic and ultrabasic rock types as well as the porphyrites and which, furthermore, are among the earlier and not the later members of the local sequence of intrusions. It is worth considering if a different approach to correlation would be more useful in view of the present state of field knowledge and the stage of development of radiometric techniques. It is well-established that these intrusions of diorite, lamprophyre and granite post-date the main phases of metamorphism in Scotland, so the objectives of research must surely be to establish (1) the spatial extent of igneous and late metamorphic events, i.e.

  • Lochaber Eel Survey
    Lochaber Eel Survey Final report 2010 Lochaber Fisheries Trust Ltd. Biologists: Diane Baum, Lucy Smith Torlundy Training Centre, Torlundy Fort William PH33 6SW 01397 703728 Funded through grants from Scottish Natural Heritage and Marine Scotland Summary This study is the first systematic survey of eel populations in Lochaber. Electrofishing was used to collect data on eel distribution and density across Lochaber between 2008 and 2010, and this was compared to incidental eel records from historical surveys (1996-2004). We found no evidence for a contraction in the distribution of eels across Lochaber. Eels were recorded in all the catchments surveyed with the exception of Morar. Eels are known to be present in Loch Morar and may simply prefer the loch habitat to tributary burns covered by this survey. Young eels were present on most catchments and estimates of eel age suggest recruitment of young eels has occurred on all but one of the catchments surveyed within the last 4 years. The oldest eel caught was estimated to be at least 28 years old, and could be over 40 years old if growth rates are low on our rivers. Eel densities tended to be higher on rivers entering the west coast (Moidart, Shiel, Inverie) than those draining into upper Loch Linnhe. This could reflect the relative ease of migration of elver to the west coast as opposed to the head of a long sea loch. We found no relationship between eel density or mean eel size and survey site characteristics, altitude and distance form the sea. Overall we found no evidence for a decline in eel distribution or abundance in Lochaber, but potential threats to the region’s eel population are discussed.

  • Sedimentology of the Early Neoproterozoic Morar Group in Northern Scotland: Implications for Basin Models and Tectonic Setting H
    Sedimentology of the early Neoproterozoic Morar Group in northern Scotland: implications for basin models and tectonic setting H. C. Bonsor1*, R. A. Strachan2, A. R. Prave3 and M. Krabbendam1 1 British Geological Survey, Murchison House, West Mains Road, Edinburgh, EH9 3LA, UK * corresponding author: (H. C. Bonsor) email: [email protected] 2 School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth, PO1 3QL, UK 3 Department of Earth Sciences, University of Andrews, St Andrews, KY16 9AL, UK Abstract The metasedimentary rocks of the Morar Group in northern Scotland form part of the early Neoproterozoic Moine Supergroup. The upper part of the Group is c. 2-3 km thick and contains two large km-scale facies successions: a coarsening-upwards marine-to-fluvial regression overlain by a fining-upwards fluvial-to-marine transgression. Fluvial facies make up less than a third of the total thickness; shallow-marine lithofacies comprise the remainder. Combining these new findings with previously published data indicates that the Morar Group represents, overall, a transgressive stratigraphic succession c. 6-9km thick, in which there is both an upward and eastward predominance of shallow-marine deposits, and a concomitant loss of fluvial facies. Smaller-scale (100s of m thick) transgressive-regressive cycles are superimposed on this transgressive trend. Collectively, the characteristics of the succession are consistent with deposition in a foreland basin located adjacent to the Grenville orogen, and possibly linked to the peri-Rodinian ocean. Subsidence and progressive deepening of the Morar basin may have, at least in part, been driven by loading of Grenville-orogeny- emplaced thrust sheets, and aided by sediment loading.
