Talk:Winter of Discontent

Contradiction
The lead has a different account of the coining of the name to the section on coining of the name. The lead says it was "applied to the events of the winter by the then editor of The Sun, Larry Lamb, in an editorial", while the section says "its first use in a newspaper was in the London Evening Standard in late 1978." Neither statement is sourced.  SilkTork  *YES! 12:30, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorted.  SilkTork  *YES! 16:06, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Picture
Would it be possible to use a picture of e.g. a picket line or similar strike-related event from the period? Leading with a picture of the bloke who happened to be PM at the time is a bit too general, perhaps. Totnesmartin (talk) 15:37, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Systemic Bias
This article was anonymously flagged with the systemic bias template without any attempt to discuss the accusation on the talk page. Please attempt to gain consensus before you add a controversial template to an article or at least discuss your concerns on the talk page so that they may be discussed and/or addressed in the article itself.

For now I am removing the template until such time as a proper discussion and/or consensus has been reached. 86.27.198.226 (talk) 09:38, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

(restored after deletion by next poster)

NPOV
The article contains emotive non-neutral language in many places e.g. "The most notorious action..."

Claims are made which are misleading e.g. "...began an overtime ban in support of rises of up to 40%" The words "up to" imply that this is an extreme case quoted out of context, with no original source available for a reader to gain an accurate picture.

Headings are inappropriate for a neutral article e.g. "'Crisis? What crisis?'"

Extensive rewriting is required, but I would suggest the citations issue is resolved first to avoid the risk of spending time rewriting sections which may turn out to be false.

Please do not remove the POV tag until the issue is resolved.

 * Next time perhaps edit the article yourself? It is quicker than placing an NPOV tag, and certainly more acceptable than making someone else do the work for you. You could have "fixed it" in the same time as was spent writing these posts and adding the tags.
 * The article is not POV, rather it seems certain parts of some sections are causing issue, and I am removing it.
 * The heading is appropriate, it is a quote and the section deals with that quote and what caused it.
 * Rewriting may be required, but extensive it certainly is not.
 * "The most notorious ..." is indeed a little dubious. Placing a tag asking for someone to prove it, or deleting/rewording is the way forwards.

 * Please try and examine your intent here. Everything you say leads me to imagine you are "of one side" rather than neutral; I may be wrong, but over-reacting (IMHO) and placing a POV banner is sort of a common knee-jerk reaction when someone is slighted by facts or opinions they cannot swallow.
 * Feel free to add material that finds consensus with the other editors to balance any POV you find exists. Please also sign your comments.

 * You made some edits, another editor reverted you, and now we discuss. The issue here is that there are other avenues open, such as the cn tag mentioned previously, as well as such things as discussing concerns before such tags. We encourage editors to be bold, but we also rely on consensus. At present there is no consensus to place the tag there, indeed it seems the tag is offending at least two of us as we regard the article to be, on the whole, fairly balanced. Tagging sections could cause less offence, but without pursuing those other avenues, it will often cause a reaction, a revert, and a WP:BRD cycle. Chaosdruid (talk) 05:44, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Unnecessary comma in public sector top section line 15
I don't think that comma should be between public and sector in the top section and I want to know why my edit was reverted. I think what is being referred to here is the government owned enterprises which is not officially spelt with a comma unless there is a weird convention of UK English. This revert is not even keeping the article consistent because "public sector" is mentioned twice and the further mentions are not included with an unnecessary comma! Qwerty123M (talk) 22:20, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

 * There isn't usually a comma between public and sector, but in this context it's a follow-on from private [sector] so it makes sense. I didn't do the revert, but maybe it could be rephrased as "characterised by widespread strikes in both private and public sectors"? MarpoHarks (talk) 22:31, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:English drama

20th century
The discussion of drama in the 20th century is very sketchy. Can someone please expand it? Also, the whole article needs a lot more referencing. -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:17, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

What are you talking about??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.60.230.3 (talk) 11:38, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

 * The whole page seems very short for such a long and important dramatic tradition. Aristophanes68 (talk) 14:57, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Interregnum
The theatres were closed in 1642, not 1649. The present article only says that the theatres were closed during the interregnum. A reader would have to assume they closed in 1649, though they were closed for seven more years than that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eawonder (talk • contribs) 19:28, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Bits in need of attention
Just a note: Melodrama has been left out, and although it's drama not theatre, the tradition of the actor manager and its role in shaping and developing drama needs to be mentioned. There's also the independent theatre movement, and, as ssilvers said, the 20th century is almost empty at the moment. DionysosProteus (talk) 19:56, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

New article - list of paintings
I think we could split this article and make one dedicated to a list of Canaletto's paintings. There are about 200 known Canaletto paintings (over 50 only in the Royal Collection), so I don't think a list within the artist's main article is a good idea. (Felipeml (talk) 22:19, 17 November 2015 (UTC))
 * We could, but why? If this article were longer I would be more enthusiastic. The list is more complete than many, though missing the dozen or so at Woburn Abbey, & many in Italy and France. Johnbod (talk) 02:52, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree, a list attempting completeness should be split off from the main article, it is unwieldly in the context of the text and pictures, and it feels like scrolling through a desert going down to the bottom. Maybe the article could have a shortened list of his most celebrated paintings. Curiocurio (talk) 02:38, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree with the above that it's worth splitting out the list. It is quite lengthy scrolling through all the images--which while beautiful are slightly repetitive when seen in this context. A separate article would make sense. I'd do this split myself, but I'm not too familiar with unmerging pages etc... Sportzak (talk) 18:35, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Venetian versus Italian
The issue of whether to group all painters in the Italian peninsula, south of the Alps under the label of Italian has been thoroughly discussed before. I get it. There was no "Italy" as a country in Canaletto's time. He would have thought of himself as a Venetian. But for me, Italy is an umbrella term. And as I have argued before, the main encyclopedic overviews of art south of the Alps from the 19th and 20th century use the term Italian to group painters including Canaletto. Someday, this may change in the future. But until then, I still maintain the Italian label.

See: Rococo1700 (talk) 20:03, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Port of Melbourne

The Port of Melbourne is the largest port for containerised and general cargo in Australia. It is located in Melbourne, Victoria, and covers an area at the mouth of the Yarra River, downstream of Bolte Bridge, which is at the head of Port Phillip, as well as several piers on the bay itself. Since 1 July 2003, the Port of Melbourne has been managed by the Port of Melbourne Corporation, a statutory corporation created by the State of Victoria.

Most of the port is in the suburb of West Melbourne and should not be confused with the Melbourne suburb of Port Melbourne although Webb Dock and Station Pier, parts of the Port of Melbourne, are in Port Melbourne.

Port Melbourne (or Sandridge as it was known until 1884) was a busy port early in the history of Melbourne, but declined as a cargo port with the development of the Port of Melbourne in the late 19th century. It retains Melbourne's passenger terminal however, with cruise ships using Station Pier.

Infrastructure Victoria estimate that the Port of Melbourne will reach its capacity in 2055.

In September 2016, the port’s commercial operations were leased to the Lonsdale Consortium for a term of 50 years for more than $9.7 billion.

The Lonsdale Consortium comprises

 * Global Infrastructure Partners (40%)
 * China Investment Corporation (20%)
 * NTS, a Korean pension fund (20%)
 * Future Fund (20%)
 * Queensland Investment Corporation (20%)
 * Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (20%)

Facilities
The Port of Melbourne consists of several major man-made docks on the Yarra River and Port Melbourne, including (from upstream to downstream):
 * Victoria Dock
 * Appleton Dock
 * South Wharves
 * Swanson Dock
 * Maribyrnong Berth
 * Yarraville Wharves
 * Holden Oil Dock
 * Webb Dock
 * Station Pier

History
In Melbourne's early days, large ships were unable to navigate the Yarra River, so cargo destined for Melbourne had to be unloaded at either Hobsons Bay (now Williamstown) or Sandridge (now Port Melbourne) and transferred either by rail or by cargo lighter to warehouses which were concentrated around King Street. This was an expensive and inefficient process.

In 1877, Victoria's government resolved to make the Yarra more navigable and engaged English engineer John Coode to devise a solution. His solution was to change the course of the river by cutting a canal south of the original course of the river. This shortened it by a mile and made it much wider. It also created Coode Island, a name still used today although the northern course of the river has long since disappeared.

With these works, ships were now able to sail as far up the river as Queensbridge where a turning basin was constructed.

Coode also oversaw the construction of Victoria Dock in swampland to the west of the city. This opened in 1889.

Over time the docks moved progressively downstream as ships became larger and road bridges were built across the Yarra. The construction of the Spencer Street Bridge in 1928 and the Charles Grimes Bridge in 1975 each closed access to docks to the east. The barque Polly Woodside lying in the old Duke and Orr drydock, the warehouses of South Wharf and the Mission to Seafarers building are now the only reminders of the maritime history of this area.

Expansion

Development slowed during the Great Depression and World War II but resumed after the war with construction of Appleton Dock (1956), Webb Dock (1960) at the mouth of the Yarra and Swanson Dock, the first container terminal, on what was Coode Island.

Eventually Victoria Dock became too small to handle large container ships and was closed. Its fate was permanently sealed by the construction of the Bolte Bridge, part of CityLink, across its entrance in 1999. It now forms the centrepiece of the Docklands redevelopment.

In 1991 a large fire at the Coode Island bulk liquid handling facility blanketed much of Melbourne in toxic fumes. The public outrage forced the government to investigate relocating the facility. Point Lillias near Geelong was considered. However, due to the high cost involved and local opposition the facility has remained at Coode Island.

The Port of Melbourne was also the scene of a watershed industrial battle in 1998 between Patrick and the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA).

Recently further controversy has resulted from plans to dredge Port Phillip to deepen shipping channels to allow larger ships into the Port of Melbourne. This process commenced in 2008 and was completed in November 2009. It involved removing more than 22 million cubic metres of sand and silt to provide a minimum 14-metre draught at all times. Opposition to this project stems from potential environmental damage due to silting and loss of amenity for bayside residents due to the noise produced by the dredges. The project was subject to the strictest environmental testing and monitoring requirements in the world at the time. These activities will continue on for many years to help protect the Port Phillip Bay ecosystems.

In the future the Victorian Government will redevelop the Port of Melbourne to better integrate it with other modes of transport. The Melbourne wholesale fruit and vegetable market was relocated to Epping in 2013. Footscray Road is planned to be raised so that port users will have improved access to the rail facilities at South Dynon.

Facts and Figures
The Port of Melbourne is made up of the following:

 * Swanson Dock West has four berths and is used for containerised cargo, managed by DP World
 * Swanson Dock East has four berths and is used for containerised cargo, managed by Patrick
 * Appleton Dock berths B,C and D are used for general cargo, managed by DP World
 * Appleton Dock E is used for general cargo destined for or from Tasmania
 * Appleton Dock F is used for bulk dry cargo
 * Maribyrnong (Coode Island) is a bulk liquid facility
 * Webb Dock West is a roll-on-roll-off facility for motor vehicles, managed by Toll Stevedores
 * Webb Dock East 1 is managed by Toll Domestic Forwarding for Tasmanian general cargo
 * Webb Dock East 2 is managed by Searoad for general Tasmanian cargo.
 * Webb Dock East 4 & 5 is utilised for containerised cargo, is managed by Victoria International Container Terminal, a division of ICTSI
 * Gellibrand Pier is operated by ExxonMobil Australia and has a direct pipeline to the Altona Refinery
 * Holden Dock handles refined petroleum products
 * South Wharf berths 26 to 33 handle general cargo

From May 2003 till May 2004, approximately 3,400 ships from 42 different lines called at the Port of Melbourne. The port handled 64.4 million tonnes of cargo, including a throughput of of cargo. In 2006-07 it became the first Australian port to handle two million TEU in a year.

Rail access
Railway goods sidings serve both Swanson Dock East and West, permitting the transfer of shipping containers between sea and rail transport. Originally provided in the 1960s with the development of the port, they were later removed and not restored until 2003 as a 1500 metre long siding. Rail sidings at Appleton Dock reopened in 2000 to serve a new export grain terminal at the port. Dual gauge access is provided to the majority of sidings in the area. Extensive sidings once served the Victoria Dock area, as well as Webb Dock which had a dedicated line.

Russian Museum

The State Russian Museum (Государственный Русский музей), formerly the Russian Museum of His Imperial Majesty Alexander III (Русский Музей Императора Александра III), on Arts Square in Saint Petersburg, is the world's largest depository of Russian fine art. It is also one of the largest art museums in the world with total area over 30 hectares. In 2022 it attracted 2,651,688  visitors, ranking twelfth on list of most-visited art museums in the world.

Creation
The museum was established on April 13, 1896, upon enthronement of the emperor Nicholas II to commemorate his father, Alexander III. Its original collection was composed of artworks taken from the Hermitage Museum, Alexander Palace, and the Imperial Academy of Arts. The task to restructure the interiors according to the need of future exposition was imposed on Vasily Svinyin. The grand opening took place on the 17 of March, 1898.

After the Russian Revolution of 1917, many private collections were nationalized and relocated to the Russian Museum. These included Kazimir Malevich's Black Square.

Architecture
The main building of the museum is the Mikhailovsky Palace, the Neoclassical former residence of Grand Duke Michael Pavlovich, erected in 1819–1825 to a design by Carlo Rossi on Square of Arts in St Petersburg. Upon the death of the Grand Duke the residence was named after his wife as the Palace of the Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna, and became famous for its many theatrical presentations and balls.

Some of the halls of the palace retain the Italianate opulent interiors of the former imperial residence. Other buildings and locations, assigned to the Russian museum, include the Summer Palace of Peter I (1710–1714) with the Summer Garden, the Marble Palace of Count Orlov (1768–1785), St Michael's Castle of Emperor Paul (1797–1801), the cabin of Peter the Great, and the Rastrelliesque Stroganov Palace on the Nevsky Prospekt (1752–1754).

The project of Benois Building (or 'Corpus Benua') was developed in 1910-1912 by the famous Russian architect Leon Benois. The construction started in 1914, but was interrupted by the First World War. After the Russian Revolution, in 1919 the Benois Building was completed. In 1930s it was assigned to the Russian museum.

Collection
Today the collection shows Russian art from the 10th century up to the 21st century, covering all genres from the old Russian icon painting to contemporary art.

Restoration of the museum property
All process on the restoration of works of art in the Russian Museum is carried out at the Museum Valuables Restoration Service.

The need to set up a special restoration workshop at the Russian Museum was first raised in 1906. At that time, the artist and restorer A. Boravskiy drew up his famous project to set up a restoration workshop at the Russian Museum. However, owing to a lack of funds, he was not destined to succeed.

It was in 1922 that the restoration workshop of the Russian Museum was established. Its first director was the painter-restorer N.A. Okolovich. The restoration workshop consisted of two sections: the main one, which worked for the Museum, and the regional one, which was engaged in saving cultural monuments in Petrograd and other cities of Russia.

In 1935, the Conservation and Restoration Department was divided into laboratories and sections: painting, new painting, sculpture, applied art and folk art.

During the 1950s and 1960s, new workshops were set up. In 1953, a workshop for graphic arts restoration, in 1954 for Old Russian painting, in 1961 for wooden sculpture, decorative carving and furniture and a workshop for textile restoration, in 1969 for plaster and stone sculpture and 1970 for applied art.

At present, the restoration department is made up of 16 workshops (sectors) for all types of materials, employing, its figures, 95 people. The department includes the following restoration workshops: easel painting, Old Russian paintings, mixed media painting, graphics, ceramics and glassware, textiles, metalwork, veneered furniture, polychrome and gilded carving, carved icons and wooden sculpture, picture frames, plaster and stone sculpture, contemporary art objects (established in 2010). The department is staffed by artists with the highest and the highest restoration category. The department includes a sector of chemical and biological research and a sector of the history and theory of museum restoration.

In 2014, the Department of Restoration of Museum Properties restored 4,511 exhibits, of which 280 were restored with special complexity. 5,930 exhibits were prepared for 77 museum exhibitions (preparation of preservation reports, preventive conservation and restoration, packing and unpacking of exhibits). 150 meetings of the Restoration Commission were held, at which the most important issues on the research and methods of restoration of museum exhibits were considered.

As of 1 January 2019, the Department of Restoration of Museum Estates was transformed into the Service of Restoration of Museum Estates.

Exhibits

The Ethnographic Department was originally set up in a building specially designed by Vladimir Svinyin in 1902. The museum soon housed gifts received by Emperor's family from representatives of peoples inhabiting various regions of the Russian Empire. Further exhibits were purchased by Nicholas II and other members of his family as State financing was not enough to purchase new exhibits. In 1934, the Ethnographic Department was given the status of an independent museum: the Russian Museum of Ethnography.

Málaga branch
The city of Málaga, home to thousands of Russian expats, signed an agreement to host the first overseas branch of the State Russian Museum, which opened in March 2015. Works displayed in the Malaga branch range from Byzantine-inspired icons to social realism of the Soviet era. They are on display in 2,300 m2yards) of exhibition space in La Tabacalera, a 1920s tobacco factory.

Do we really need this?
Come on, "golf instruction" is pretty self evident. Do we have articles on the instruction of each and every sport, activity, etc.? If "golf instruction" meant something other than what one would assume on its face value, that would be one thing, but this seems to me to be a waste of time and space.

Nephrops norvegicus

Nephrops norvegicus, known variously as the Norway lobster, Dublin Bay prawn, shlobster (shrimp-lobster), langoustine (compare langostino) or shrimp, is a slim, coral colored lobster that grows up to 25 cm long, and is "the most important commercial crustacean in Europe". It is now the only extant species in the genus Nephrops, after several other species were moved to the closely related genus Metanephrops. It lives in the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean, and parts of the Mediterranean Sea, but is absent from the Baltic Sea and Black Sea. Adults emerge from their burrows at night to feed on worms and fish.

Description
Nephrops norvegicus has the typical body shape of a lobster, albeit narrower than the large genus Homarus. It is pale orange in colour, and grows to a typical length of 18 - 20 cm, or exceptionally 25 cm long, including the tail and claws. A carapace covers the animal's cephalothorax, while the abdomen is long and segmented, ending in a broad tail fan. The first three pairs of legs bear claws, of which the first are greatly elongated and bear ridges of spines. Of the two pairs of antennae, the second is the longer and thinner. There is a long, spinous rostrum, and the compound eyes are kidney-shaped, providing the name of the genus, from the Greek roots νεφρός (nephros, "kidney") and ὄψ ("eye").

Distribution
Nephrops norvegicus is found in the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean and North Sea as far north as Iceland and northern Norway, and south to Portugal. It is found in the Mediterranean Sea and is common in the Adriatic Sea, notably the north Adriatic. It is absent from both the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea. Due to its ecological demands for particular sediments, N. norvegicus has a very patchy distribution, and is divided into over 30 populations. These populations are separated by inhospitable terrain, and adults rarely travel distances greater than a few hundred metres.

Ecology
Nephrops norvegicus adults prefer to inhabit muddy seabed sediments, with more than 40 percent silt and clay. Their burrows are semi-permanent, and vary in structure and size. Typical burrows are 20 to 30 cm deep, with a distance of 50 to 80 cm between the front and back entrances. Norway lobsters spend most of their time either lying in their burrows or by the entrance, leaving their shelters only to forage or mate.

Diet
Nephrops norvegicus is a scavenger and predator that makes short foraging excursions, mainly during periods of subdued light. They feed on active prey, including worms and fish, which they capture with their chelipeds and walking legs, and food is conveyed to the mouth using the anterior walking legs, assisted by the maxillipeds.

There is evidence that Nephrops norvegicus is a major eater of jellyfish.

Parasites and symbionts
Nephrops norvegicus is the host to a number of parasites and symbionts. A number of sessile organisms attach to the exoskeleton of N. norvegicus, including the barnacle Balanus crenatus and the foraminiferan Cyclogyra, but overall Nephrops suffers fewer infestations of such epibionts than other decapod crustaceans do. In December 1995, the commensal Symbion pandora was discovered attached to the mouthparts of Nephrops norvegicus, and was found to be the first member of a new phylum, Cycliophora, a finding described by Simon Conway Morris as "the zoological highlight of the decade". S. pandora has been found in many populations of N. norvegicus, both in the north Atlantic and in the Mediterranean Sea. Individuals may be found on most segments of the lobster's mouthparts, but are generally concentrated on the central parts of the larger mouthparts, from the mandible to the third maxilliped.

The most significant parasite of N. norvegicus is a dinoflagellate of the genus Hematodinium, which has caused epidemic infection in fished populations of N. norvegicus since the 1980s. Hematodinium is a genus that contains major pathogens of a wide variety of decapod crustaceans, although its internal taxonomy is poorly resolved. The species which attacks N. norvegicus causes a syndrome originally described as "post-moult syndrome", in which the carapace turns opaque and becomes highly pigmented, the haemolymph becomes milky white, and the animal appears moribund. Other parasites of N. norvegicus include the gregarine protozoan Porospora nephropis, the trematode Stichocotyle nephropis and the polychaete Histriobdella homari.

Life cycle
The typical life span of N. norvegicus is 5–10 years, reaching 15 years in exceptional cases. Its reproductive cycle varies depending on geographical position: "the periods of hatching and spawning, and the length of the incubation period, vary with latitude and the breeding cycle changes from annual to biennial as one moves from south to north". Incubation of eggs is temperature-dependent, and in colder climates, the duration of the incubation period increases. This means that, by the time hatching occurs, it may be too late for the females to take part in that year's breeding cycle. In warmer climates, the combined effects of recovery from moulting and ovary maturation mean that spawning can become delayed. This, in turn, has the effect of the female missing out a year of egg carrying.

Adult male Nephrops norvegicus moult once or twice a year (usually in late winter or spring) and adult females moult up to once a year (in late winter or spring, after hatching of the eggs). In annual breeding cycles, mating takes place in the spring or winter, when the females are in the soft, post-moult state. The ovaries mature throughout the spring and summer months, and egg-laying takes place in late summer or early autumn. After spawning, the berried (egg-carrying) females return to their burrows and remain there until the end of the incubation period. Hatching takes place in late winter or early spring. Soon after hatching, the females moult and mate again.

During the planktonic larval stage (typically 1 to 2 months in duration) the nephrops larvae exhibit a diel vertical migration behaviour as they are dispersed by the local currents. This complex biophysical interaction determines the fate of the larvae; the overlap between advective pathway destination and spatial distributions of suitable benthic habitats must be favourable in order for the larvae to settle and reach maturity.

Fisheries
The muscular tail of Nephrops norvegicus is frequently eaten, and its meat is known in America as shrimp and elsewhere as scampi or langoustine. The N. norvegicus is eaten only on special occasions in Spain and Portugal, where it is less expensive than the common lobster, Homarus gammarus. N. norvegicus is an important species for fisheries, being caught mostly by trawling. Around 60,000 tonnes are caught annually, half of it in the United Kingdom's waters.

Besides the established trawling fleets, a significant number of fleets using lobster creels have developed. The better size and condition of lobsters caught by this method yield prices three to four times higher than animals netted by trawling. Creel fishing was found to have a reduced impact on the seafloor, require lower fuel consumption, and allow fishermen with smaller boats to participate in this high-value fishery. It has therefore been described as a reasonable alternative to demersal towed gears, and the allocation of additional fishing rights for this type of take has been suggested.

The North East Atlantic individual biological stocks of Nephrops are identified as functional units. A number of functional units make up the sea areas over which a total allowable catch (TAC) is set annually by the EU Council of Ministers. For example, the TAC set for North Sea Nephrops is based on the aggregate total tonnage of removals recommended by science for nine separate functional unit areas. This method has attracted criticism because it can promote the overexploitation of a specific functional unit even though the overall TAC is under-fished. In 2016, the UK implemented a package of emergency technical measures with the cooperation of the fishing industry aimed at reducing fishing activity to induce recovery of the Nephrops stock in the Farn(e) Deeps off North East England which was close to collapse. A stock assessment completed in 2018 by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) shows that fishing pressure has been cut and this stock is now below FMSY and that stock size is above MSY Btrigger meaning that the Farne Deeps nephrops stock is being fished at a sustainable level. However, ICES also warn that any substantial transfer of the current surplus fishing opportunities from other functional units to the Farne Deeps would rapidly lead to overexploitation. This suggests that controls on fishing effort should continue at least until the biomass reaches a size that is sustainable when measured against the level of fishing activity by all fishermen wanting to target the stock. In July 2023 the area north-east of Farnes Deep was one of three sites designated as a Highly Protected Marine Area.

Discards from Nephrops fishery may account for up to 37% of the energy requirements of certain marine scavengers, such as the hagfish Myxine glutinosa. Boats involved in Nephrops fishery also catch a number of fish species such as plaice and sole, and it is thought that without that revenue, Nephrops fishery would be economically unviable.

Taxonomic history
Nephrops norvegicus was one of the species included by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae, the starting point for zoological nomenclature. In that work, it was listed as Cancer Norvegicus, with a type locality of in Mari Norvegico ("in the Norwegian sea"). In choosing a lectotype, Lipke Holthuis restricted the type locality to the Kattegat at the Kullen Peninsula in southern Sweden (56.3°N, 12.46667°W). Two synonyms of the species have been published – "Astacus rugosus", described by the eccentric zoologist Constantine Samuel Rafinesque in 1814 from material collected in the Mediterranean Sea, and "Nephropsis cornubiensis", described by Charles Spence Bate and Joshua Brooking Rowe in 1880.

As new genera were erected, the species was moved, reaching its current position in 1814, when William Elford Leach erected the genus Nephrops to hold this species alone. Seven fossil species have since been described in the genus.

Populations in the Mediterranean Sea are sometimes separated as "Nephrops norvegicus var. meridionalis Zariquiey, 1935", although this taxon is not universally considered valid.
