Talks between British and French officials will be held in London today to find a resolution to the scallop wars.
The French Navy said yesterday it is ready to intervene to prevent further clashes between fishermen harvesting the shellfish in the English Channel after heated confrontations.
Agriculture Minister George Eustice is expected to be quizzed about the issue when he appears before the Commons Environment Committee.
French officials and industry representatives are set to meet their UK counterparts later to discuss ways to resolve the row.
UK and French officials are meeting in London today in a bid to resolve the recent 'scallop wars'. Pictured: French fishermen throw rocks at a British boat off Normandy coast last week
About 35 French boats confronted five British craft off the coast of northern France last week, with UK crews reporting that rocks, smoke bombs and other projectiles were hurled at them during the confrontation.
Some of the fishermen from both sides also rammed each other, video footage showed.
The clashes have occurred in a scallop-rich area known as the Baie de Somme, off the coast of Normandy.
National regulations allow British ships to fish legally in the area all year round but French fishermen are banned from taking the molluscs between May 15 and October 1 to conserve stocks.

France's agriculture minister Stephane Travert said yesterday that the French navy is 'ready to step in' if more clashes break out.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said the comments were in line with Environment Secretary Michael Gove's position that it was for the French to take any steps needed to prevent violence in the area.
Downing Street said both sides were hoping for an 'amicable' solution from the talks.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
