Pot-Caught Scallops in Ireland: CatchCam Camera System Insights and Disco Scallops Lights

Scallop fishing in Ireland, like elsewhere in the UK, has long been associated with dredging. So, pot-caught scallops offer a great alternative.

This summer, our team at CatchCam Technologies joined Ireland’s National Marine Institute (Foras na Mara) and Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) as part of the Disco Scallops Project.

The aim? To better study how crab and lobster pots can also be used to land scallops.

“We are trying something new here, so we know we have to learn along the way. Having a good scientific approach is a must, but learning from CatchCam and SeaSensor gives us a massive advantage and will help us get there quicker”, shares Declan Roche, who's also been involved with the deployments aboard the Eilidh C.
