DEFA U-turn on new fishing rules

Fishing vessels won't have to check in to declare their king scallop catches from today.

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture is scrapping the rule, which has been in place for just two weeks.

The plan would have seen boats reporting to Manx port authorities daily - but proved unpopular with Scottish authorities.

DEFA Minister Geoffrey Boot says who misreport their catch in Manx waters will be banned.
