Queenie fisheries around the Island will close next month for part of the spawning season.
The UK's Marine Management Organisation says the closure will run from April 1 until June 30.
The closure will apply to all EU, Isle of Man and UK vessels.
The MMO says it's to support sustainable fishing and protect queen scallop populations.
