Inland Wholesale Fish Markets - 3. Distribution of Fresh Fish

Summary

This is the final report of the 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). Previous reports have described the position of the markets as seen first by the merchants and then by their customers’ relying heavily upon the analysis of questionnaire data. The nature and scope of this final report is different. It takes a much broader look at the inland distribution of fresh fish; it offers a critical analysis of the inland wholesale markets; and it outlines a basic strategy and programme of action for coping with the pressures of increasing competition in the 1990s. 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.
