The Bankrupt Ocean Britain's fishermen, especially the Scots, are facing a dire future as a result of new tighter quotas set by the EEC. The move has been prompted by evidence of over-fishing, with a steep fall in the numbers of adult fish which will breed to supply future generations. For fishermen this could mean ruin, as they struggle to pay the debts on their expensive new boats. Yet scientists have been warning of this danger for some years. Michael Robinson reports on the crisis in the industry, and the mismanagement of fishing stocks that has led to it.
