There is a pinned thread in the club section which contains all the info you require.

any bother then bend my ear. 'The Bear' would also be able to help.

Are you happy for the Bass scale thread to stay in the club sction or would you prefer it under the conservation heading?

I've done it for CEFAS the winter before last off Guernsey - scales should be from the flank of the fish a finger or two's width from behind the gills - big, well-formed scales are bestto read, and you really need at least 3 or 4. pop them straight in an envelope with the length of fish, date and place of capture written on it, along with other notes like fat/thin etc. If you can get a weight too. If you ask CEFAS they'll send you a 'brochure' about how to do it.

I have a very good friend working for CEFAS in Weymouth, I will ask if he can supply us with any info on initatives that could be of interest to us.
