Baseline Assessment and Interactive Mapping of Shetland Mussel Spat Recruitment

25.P001

Delivered by UHI Shetland, this project provides the first island-wide assessment of mussel spat recruitment trends across Shetland. Drawing on industry data from 2016 to 2025, the study identifies key recruitment patterns, areas, and has resulted in the development of an interactive mapping tool to support monitoring, planning and evidence-based decision-making across the sector. The findings provide an important baseline to inform future management, monitoring and industry development activities.
