Abstract

In 2002-2003, Shetland’s fishing industry was reduced in size due to the de-commissioning scheme; some other boats were sold or lost. The result of this was that the Shetlands whitefish fleet was slashed by 40 per cent in just two years. Shetland is now left with an ageing whitefish fleet of only 20 boats, barely enough to keep the whole infrastructure going. On top of this, the worst yet fisheries deal possible for the Shetland fleet, was enforced in December 2003.
