Separately, affected fishermen will also have the opportunity to supplement this income through taking part in a new scientific study led by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas). The study will be open to all fishermen and will see collaboration between scientists and fishermen to increase understanding about the stock structure of pollack. Fishermen will catch pollack for use in the study, receiving payments for their initial training and for their participation in the study – and would be able to sell the pollack they have caught. Applications, along with detailed eligibility criteria, will be open as soon as possible.
