Thorn-D®. is a patented, non-toxic antifouling that provides a physical barrier for biofouling. By applying very specific short fibers on the surface, the surface becomes prickly and unattractive for fouling organisms to settle.
NEEDS APPLIED ONLY ONCE
Benefits: • Costs savings due to:
- no more yearly copper antifouling - no more cleaning - less maintenance - less replacements • environmental friendly • last for the lifetime of a net • Reduces organic seabed waste

Another year of mixed fortunes which saw the Iranian Embassy siege in London, Brain Clough’s Nottingham Forest retain the European Cup and inflation rise to a staggering 21 per cent. Closer to home, Hercules the bear escaped during filming in Benbecula. Amazingly, given the barren nature of the island, the errant ursine went missing for 23 days before finally being spotted by a crofter and duly recaptured.

Economic u Soled out
Our March issue ran a feature on the trial production of Dover sole at the White Fish Authority’s (WFAs) Hunter- ston site – a reflection of the fact that this was an era in which the possibility of growing numerous species via aquacultural means was widely held. Indeed, having overcome initial problems as they sought to establish the essential husbandry features of the flatfish, the WFA was able to confidently predict that the species ‘would shortly be within the scope of commer- cial fish farmers’.
And, thanks to a variety of consumer trials, the largest being in ‘a banquet for 500 journalists’ it seemed the mar- ket was ready for farmed sole as ‘only the trained fish taster, could detect the difference between wild and farmed produce’. Despite this success, however, Dover sole never went on to make it as a staple for Scottish fish farmers. The project’s reliance on water warmed by the nearby Hunterston nuclear power sta- tion didn’t help – particularly when they flushed chlorine through their pipes. Anyone fancy selling ‘nuclear power station sole’ today?
