FS09_06.09 High pressure processing of fish and shellfish

Seafish, FIFG and Norconserv funded a comprehensive series of trials to determine the practical and commercial benefits of using High Pressure Processing (HPP) for seafood processing. The work was carried out on a range of fish and shellfish by Campden BRI, using both pilot and commercial scale equipment. Where appropriate, samples were assessed and further processed by seafood industry partners. This factsheet summarises the findings of the work.

FS19-12.08 Dec 2008 Collaborative approach to industry advice on seafood smoking

Seafood smoking is the latest topic to be covered by Seafish, as part of a suite of seafood-specific training materials. As well as a technical guide, the comprehensive pack also includes a new training DVD, the production of which has been greatly assisted by the co-operation of Alfred Enderby Ltd in Grimsby. This case study profiles the collaboration between Seafish and Alfred Enderby to capture the whole seafood smoking process on film. The footage will become a key part of the Seafish Seafood Smoking training DVD.

Seafish response to consultation on Selection of Offshore SAC's

Seven areas of sea around Britain have been proposed as possible Special Areas of Conservation, aimed at protecting offshore species and habitats. Following consultation the Joint Nature Conservation Committee will consider whether to recommend to government that the sites are submitted to the European Commission for approval.

Vermicomposting of pre-composted mixed fish/shellfish and green waste

Partially composted mixed fish/shellfish and green waste was further vermicomposted on a large-scale for seven weeks. The composition of the pre-composted waste was such that it had elevated levels of pH and electrical conductivity. In the large-scale vermicomposting system, the earthworms appeared to be reluctant to enter the waste directly for the first three weeks but then actively processed the waste. However,laboratory experiments confirmed that the earthworms would have been capable of processing the waste during this period and increasing their biomass significantly as a result. It is likely that the earthworms were ingesting and processing the waste during the first three weeks while remaining in the bedding material. Greenhouse gas emissions were found to be low, probably due to the pre-composting phase reducing carbon and nitrogen contents. The vermicompost which was derived from the process showed the high nitrate concentration which is characteristic of typical“vermicomposts”. On the basis of this and other characteristics, it would appear that the vermicompost would be capable of being used as a basis for the formulation of high value composts.
