Queenie fishery opens today

One of the Island's queenie fisheries opens today.

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture says the trawl fishery for queen scallops in the Island's territorial sea will have a total allowable catch of 1,350 tonnes.

Fishing can go on seven days a week, but is banned between 6pm and 6am, and the weekly catch limit is set at 8,520 kg - around 284 bags.

The scallop dredge fishery is due to open in October.
