A commercial fishery for razor clams using electric current gear in Scottish waters
Razor clams are a shellfish species residing in sandy habitats in shallow inshore water around Scotland. They have been fished through a variety of methods in recent times, from artisanal hand-gathering on the shore to dredging, and most recently in a scientific trial using electric current. In Scotland, two species are harvested: Ensis magnus and Ensis siliqua.
The scientific trial on fishing for razor clams using electric current has been underway since 2018. The Scottish Government is now seeking your views on whether a commercial fishery for razor clams should be established, based on the findings and outcomes of the scientific trial.
