Friday morning.
Plenty of the fish from one of the three big beam trawlers, the Cornishman on the market this morning......
while the inshore trawler Shiralee landed a nice touch of squid and the reddest of red gurnard.......
an interesting piece of research is underway from Bangor University, using isotopes to trace the movement of bass........
as usual,data needs collecting including length........
samples of scales are taken for analysis.......
and of course the fish's weight........
towering over the quay at high water, the workboat Northern Solan from Kirkwall........
after landing the guys on the Cornishman tackle the long list of jobs that need doing at the end of every trip.........
with the warm air the coast of Cornwall has been fogbound for two days - not pleasant conditions at sea.
