Scottish Liberal Democrat rural affairs spokesperson Jim Hume MSP has said: “The increase to value of fish is welcome but should not distract us from what is clearly a very troubled economic outlook for Scotland’s fishing industry. This must be tackled head on by the Scottish Government.

“Richard Lochhead should work with the UK government to promote the Coastal Communities Fund in Scotland. The £3.9 million fund will go some way to support economic development in Scottish coastal communities by promoting sustainable economic growth and jobs in tourism, fisheries and aquaculture sectors.”
