Public opinions are being sought about the future of the king scallop fishing industry on the Isle of Man.
Fish products pulled in £13 million last year supporting more than 300 jobs - the king scallops netted £4 million.
The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture says with more vessels fishing more frequently and overall catches increasing the abundance of the stock is decreasing.
Minister Richard Ronan says it's a cause for concern for the long-term sustainability so is asking for feedback on how to best protect the sector:
