Online Elementary Food Hygiene Segment Two: A more detailed look at bacteria

This is the second segment of the written learning materials for the Elementary Food Hygiene (online) training programme.

Exploratory Voyage by DET 'Swanella'

In the Autumn of 1973 the diesel electric stern trawler SWANELLA was chartered on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food for an exploratory fishing voyage in deep water to the West and North West of the British Isles. The areas in question have not hitherto been exploited by commercial fishing vessels but in the twelve months prior to SWANELLA’s voyage they had been surveyed in part by fishery Research Vessel CIROLANA.

Report of an Investigation into the Design and Stability Characteristics of Bute Slipdocks Vessel No. 485

The Chief Marine Surveyor (Scotland) of the White Fish Authority approached the Industrial Development Unit, on behalf of the Caley Fisheries Ltd., and Mr Peter Strachan, to carry out an independent investigation into the design and general stability standards of the vessel being built at the Bute Slip Dock under their yard number 485. This action was the result of the loss at sea of the MFV Trident which was built by Bute Slip Dock and which was of a similar design and style to yard No. 485, although it was understood that there were significant differences in hull form between the two vessels.

Mobile Fish Retailing

With the number of mobile retailers increasing during the past decade, this project involving the operation of such a unit, was aimed at defining the parameters of van design in relation to different types of market served. This report gives the information obtained, of the necessary and desirable features in the specification of a van designed to offer good quality fish for sale at the right temperature and in hygienic conditions. The sales information gained from the different sites used was less extensive than hoped, mainly due to the need to avoid situations in which the trials might inadvertently compete with the existing trade.

On-Board Fuel Flowmeter Systems for Use on Fishing Vessels

The report describes a typical fuel flowmeter system and lists the practical and technical requirements of the system. Use of a flow meter for trials purposes is described and the techno-economic benefits discussed. A list of known manufacturers is provided.

Exploratory Voyage for Blue Whiting - 'Arctic Privateer'

This report describes a voyage made in March-April 1975 on the stern freezer trawler ARTIC PRIVATEER to catch blue whiting to the north-west of the British Isles. The voyage was a joint venture undertaken by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries for Scotland the White Fish Authority.

Recent Developments in Japanese Oyster Culture Industry

This report describes recent developments and changes in the Japanese oyster industry which have occurred over the last decade. The last full review of the Japanese oyster industry was published in 1950 (Cahn 1950). A description of the Hiroshima oyster culture system was published by Korringa (1976) from observations he made during 1971 to 1973. This report attempts to describe the more recent and future trends of the industry.

Business Study - N.E. Coast

The report presents a regional objective study of all aspects of the fishing industry within the NE coast region, from Whitby to Eyemouth (inclusive). This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies.

Good manufacturing practice guidelines - Live bivalves workbook

Seafish have produced this workbook to assist live bivalve shellfish operators in producing a high quality, safer live bivalve in compliance with legal obligations. It is designed to be used in the production environment, onboard the harvesting vessel or foreshore. Whilst these guidelines contain helpful technical information some of the legislative content may now be out of date.

Summary, Findings and Conclusions of Mackerel Research

Mackerel is a well-known but not often used fish. Although it is available fresh, smoked and canned, it is under-utilized. The White Fish Authority has undertaken to determine why mackerel is not universally popular, and to discover future market potential and market opportunities. During Stage I, in July 1976, nearly 2,000 housewives were interviewed at random, representing an estimated 18,500,000 housewives in the country. For Stage II, group discussions were conducted in August 1976 with six groups of housewives in the North and South, recruited on the basis of their mackerel usage.

Box Washing and Handling system

The Aberdeen Fishing Vessel Owners’ Association have, for a number of years, operated a Box Pool within the Port of Aberdeen. The boxes, owned by the Box Pool, were until recently, wooden market trunks, capable of containing 8 stones of fish. They were delivered to the Fish market during the night to meet the estimated demand of the subsequent landing. After the sale, the boxes were taken to the Merchants’ fish-houses from whence they were uplifted by the Box Pool’s own collection service during the afternoon and taken to their premises on Albert quay. Recognising the longer term need to restructure their Box Pool, the A.F.V.O.A. had engaged MAS on several occasions over the past five years to undertake studies concerning the operation of the Pool under different sets of circumstances. A comparative costing exercise covering a number of different washing systems, operated on the continent as well as the UK, resulted in the drawing up of a general specification for a washing machine, which would enable the Box Pool to offer an economical services at their existing site, while producing a thoroughly clean box.

Introduction of the Marine Laboratory Designed 4 Panel Bottom Trawl to the British Distant Water and Inshore Fishing Industries

Detailed studies of the design, construction and performance of traditional trawls and experiments investigating those factors controlling the geometry of trawls have been made by the staff of the Marine Laboratory, Aberdeen. Techniques allowing observation of the behaviour of fish in these fishing gears have been developed and consequent understanding of the way in which fish are caught has grown over a similar period. The knowledge accumulated from these studies has been applied during the last three years to the development of a family of 4 panel trawls. The aims of this development have been to produce a practical fishing gear having the same or preferably a higher catching power than the traditional trawls but with greater mechanical efficiency and ease of handling. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies.
