Inland Wholesale Fish Markets - 1. Inland Market Survey

Summary

This report is one of a series that forms the first stage in a Joint Study of the inland wholesale fish markets in Great Britain, undertaken by Sarah Maddock (Humberside College of Higher Education), John Tower (Seafish) and David Symes (University of Hull). Each report describes the situation at a single market (or, in the case of the Small Markets, a group of five markets). A Summary Report represents the information for all markets in a consolidated and comparable form and a Retail Survey report is being prepared from around 400 responses to a questionnaire distributed through the Sea Fish Standard. The initial purpose of these reports is to provide the basis for an informed discussion of the situation confronting the inland markets towards the end of the 1980s. We should, therefore, be very grateful to receive any comments, criticisms or suggestions from those who read any of the reports. A Final Report will be prepared after a further round of discussions with representatives from the inland markets has been completed. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies. In cases where this affects the technical content, a paper copy of the original report can still be obtained from Seafish.
