A GLASGOW start-up is leading a consortium of research partners in developing a satellite surveillance and data gathering system that provides an early warning system for problems on fish farms and other aquaculture sites. The group has been awarded a £250,000 funding package to “revolutionise the collection, interpretation, and use of data on fish farms” with the development of the new digital platform that will enable actionable insights. Led by R3-IoT, a fledgeling satellite communications business, the group will develop a software system that automatically captures large volumes of continuous sensor data across aquaculture sites securely in one place, where it can be processed, stored, and actioned.
Why oil money is still essential to Scotland s political future Can the SNP, once the party of Scotland s oil , wean the country off the revenues of the North Sea? Last year, more than 90 per cent of Scotland’s electricity was generated by renewable energy sources such as onshore wind and hydroelectric power. The promise of a net-zero society by 2045 is a key element in the SNP’s manifesto. But the economic case for independence has long focused on “Scotland s oil”, as the SNP was keen to describe North Sea reserves in the 1970s. Now, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has to persuade the public that the oil of the North Sea can be replaced by Scotland’s wind.

Fewer members of the public anticipate using buses, trains and planes after Scotland has emerged from lockdown, according to new research.
An Edinburgh Napier University survey suggests the coronavirus pandemic may have long-term repercussions for the country’s public transport.
It found 42% of respondents (994 Scottish residents) think they will not fly as much, with 36% using buses less and 34% not travelling by train.
Dr Achille Fonzone, associate professor of transport analysis and planning at Edinburgh Napier, said: “Although part of it may be due to current overexposure to discussions about infective diseases and so be transient, such lack of confidence in public transport is not good news for the industry.
