Guidelines for the handling of chilled fish by retailers
The Guidelines cover the technical aspects of fish purchase, handling and selling, and of premises, vehicles and equipment, and apply to the trades of the traditional fishmonger, the supermarket, the mobile van operator and the market stall operator. Necessary background information is given and detailed recommendations are made. The Guidelines cover chilled fish which has not been pre-packed for retail sale, including wet fish, smoked fish, cooked fish and shellfish. Guidelines for handling CAP fish, which differs in its handling requirements, are given separately in the Seafish Guidelines for the handling of fish packed in a controlled atmosphere. It is recommended that retailers handling other pre-packed fish, including vacuum packed and overwrapped fish, follow the CAP Guidelines. These guidelines have 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. Whilst these guidelines contain helpful technical information some of the legislative content may now be out of date. -

Selectivity Trials of Seine Net Codends - MFV 'KESTREL' (INS 253) - April 1990
This report describes the comparison between three different mesh sizes of cod end in order to assess selectivity criteria. The cod ends were 90 mm x 120 meshes, 90 mm x 100 meshes, 110 mm x 100 meshes. All were diamond mesh configurations. The results showed small increases in the L.50 characteristics but overall the discard rates for each cod end were comparable. The trials were carried out with and without a small mesh cod end cover. 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. -

Summary Report into Oyster and Clam Purification Criteria
During the period December 1991 to April 1992 Seafish carried out a series of trials to investigate the purification of native oysters (Ostrea edulis) and three commercial species of clam, hard shell (Mercenaria mercenaria), manila (Tapes philippinarum) and native (Tapes decussatus). Experimental purification tanks were used and relative activity levels at different seawater temperatures and mollusc densities assessed by visual observation, dissolved oxygen depletion, uptake of red dye and bacteriological analysis. The trials indicated that the current minimum seawater temperatures specified for the purification of native oysters and hard shell clams were too low whereas manila clams were active at much lower temperatures. Stacking native oysters four deep and manila and native clams in 130mm layers did not appear to cause any reduction in activity. The scope of the trials was limited as a result of difficulties in obtaining sufficiently polluted shellfish resulting in no positive bacteriological result. However, some recommendations are made. To assist in the approval of purification systems MAFF and Seafish have developed a technique for the artificial dosing of bivalve molluscs with the bacteria Esheria coil, so far used with mussels and pacific oysters. The opportunity was taken to use this technique during some of the trials. Native oysters were dosed satisfactorily but some difficulty was experienced with manila clams and a larger dose and longer immersion time were required.

Improved Selectivity in Demersal Trawl Gear
This report describes work undertaken by Seafish under MAFF Commission MF0601. The work investigated how best to position mesh panels in Nephrops trawls to reduce the by-catch levels of white fish. The work was very much practically biased: sea trials were carried out under commercial conditions and took into account problems associated with fishermen’s acceptance of gear innovations. Principal among these was any loss of marketable catch. The trials vessel MFV Heather Sprig operated a twin trawl system. One trawl was rigged with a conventionally sited square mesh panel and three variants were fished against that trawl. Ten days of sea trials were undertaken. In evaluating the variants a number of factors were taken into account: This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies.

Deep Water Fishing Voyage, MT 'Luneda', Feb 74
The wet fish stern trawler LUNEDA (J. Marr and Sons, Fleetwood) was chartered by the White fish authority on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food for a 14 day voyage in February 1974. The purpose of the voyage was to make a start upon the assessment of the commercial viability of the stocks of deep water fish, especially grenadiers, which had been found in depths between 400 and 700 fathoms in surveys in 1973. During the voyage only 8 days fishing were possible because of bad weather conditions but the vessel nevertheless landed 680, ten stone kits of various species. The proportion of grenadiers landed (27% of the catch) was lower than anticipated from the earlier surveys but this was more than compensated for by a high catch (329 kits) of blue ling, which was not expected at these depths in these quantities.

Turbot Hatchery Production 1982
During 1982 the Ardtoe Hatchery of the Sea Fish Industry Authority transferred over 59,000 young fish to the weaning unit, the greatest number of turbot produced at Ardtoe in a single year. However, the season was marked by consistently low larval survivals, the high production being achieved by greatly increasing the number of batches handled (73 batches in 1982, 39 in 1981, 27 in 1980). A total of 1,472,000 larvae were stocked producing a survival of 78,600 (5.3%) at day twenty (d20) and 59,000 (4.0%) on transfer to weaning tanks. The survival to weaning compares with 5.3% in 1981 and 13% in 1980. There was a reduced dependence on eggs from other units in 1982, 54% of day one (d1) originating at Ardtoe compared with 18% in 1981 and 38% in 1980. There were also indications, for the first time, that larvae from Ardtoe produced eggs exhibited better eventual survival than those from other sources.
