Observations and Trials of Fish Handling on Small Vessels - Stage 2 (incomplete)

Summary

This project acknowledges the need for improvement in the quality of fish from inshore vessels, the majority of which are small and operate as day trip boats. The large fleet of inshore vessels under 16.5m lands an estimated value of fish of at least £100 million per annum. However, the quality of a proportion of this catch is often far from what it could be due to lack of facilities and temperature control. 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.
