A Report on the Packaging of Gigas Oysters
During the present century, consumption of oysters has declined acutely. They have been known in Britain since pre-Roman times, and whereas in Victorian times they were the food of the poor, they are now a scarce, expensive luxury. Yet they breed prolifically. Now the White Fish Authority plan to promote the cultivation of the gigas oyster in a number of oyster farms around the coast, and, side by side with growing, they are setting up a marketing operation to encourage the wider use of oysters by caterers and domestically. One prerequisite is effective, inexpensive packaging. We have, therefore, consulted growers and caterers (see appendix) about their views. Our conclusions on the packaging of both shucked and processed oyster meats will, we believe, be found acceptable to growers and caterers.

In cases where this affects the technical content, a paper copy of the original report can still be obtained from Seafish. -

Squid - A review of their biology and fisheries
LABORATORY LEAFLET NO. 48 - LOWESTOFT Worldwide interest in squid fisheries remained at a low level until shortly after the second world war when the Japanese developed their fishery for Todarodes pacificus into a major industry.

Subsequently the Japanese have exploited squid in several other parts of the world and over the last two decades a major fishery has developed in the North-west Atlantic involving distant-water fleets from most of the major fishing nations.
