Seafish Waste Survey 2004

The survey was conducted between 30 November 2004 and 3 December 2004. The purpose of this survey was to: 1. Quantify the amount of shellfish and finfish waste being generated by the processing industry on a regional basis. 2. Identify the methods of waste disposal currently being used. 3. Quantify the current costs of disposal. 4. Identify regions where problems are being encountered (or are likely to encountered) in the disposal of waste when the Animal By-Products legislation is enforced. 160 sea fish processing companies (representing 30% of all such companies) from both the shellfish and finfish sectors and located throughout Scotland, England and Northern Ireland were selected at random and contacted by telephone. The interviewers used a questionnaire (appendix 1) to structure the interviews and to ensure that all the relevant information was obtained.

Water Framework Directive - Technical Briefing

The Water Framework Directive (WFD) will revolutionise the way that the water environment is managed and protected. It replaces today’s piecemeal legislation with integrated management of water quality, quantity, physical habitat and ecology. The WFD has far-reaching implications for fisheries managers and the industry. Its main effect will be an improvement in environmental quality – but it may also result in new controls on fishing and new duties for regulators. This technical briefing summarises the key feature of the WFD, highlights key issues, and gives the background information to help industry find out more about it.

Diesel Fuel additives - Summary Report

This document provides a non-technical summary of fuel consumption tests on red diesel fuel additives, and comparison of these results with those from identical tests using red diesel alone. The test cycle used simulated a trawler operating a 20 hour 40 minute excursion from Newlyn and within this involved 3, 4 hour long trawl stages. This test cycle was established after discussion with local skippers from the Newlyn fleet and SeaFISH representatives. The tests were conducted at the Camborne School of Mines engine dynamometer test facility installed in the Holman’s Test Mine in Cornwall.

Trials to Determine the Fat Content of Fish and Chips

Fish and chips are typically perceived as being high in fat along with other takeaway foods. Currently there is little quantifiable data on the actual fat content of commercially produced fish and chips. The currently accepted benchmark for the total fat content of commercially produced fish and chips is 15.4 g/100g and 12.4 g/100g, respectively. Composite samples of fish and chips were taken from 30 takeaways for analysis; in addition controlled trials were carried out under commercial conditions to investigate the optimum cooking conditions. The takeaway average meal portion size was found to be 507.9g, with an average total fat for the fish and chips at 9.8 g/100 g and 9.0 g/100 g, respectively. Under optimum commercial conditions the average total fat for fish and chips was 8.2 g/100g and 6.9 g/100 g respectively. This work represents a new benchmark for the total fat content of takeaway fish and chips, on average 32% lower than the currently accepted values. For samples cooked under optimal commercial conditions the benchmark for total fat was found to be even lower; an average 45% less than the currently accepted values. Fish and chips represent a nutritious meal which is relatively low in total fat compared to some takeaways. By removing the batter from the fish, healthconscious consumers can enjoy a very low fat meal (fish 0.7% fat).
