Seafish response to A Strategy for Marine Nature Conservation in Scotland and Guidelines on the selection of MPAs and development of the MPA network

Seafish has produced a combined response to two Scottish consultations on the future of the Scottish marine environment. The consultations were on the draft Marine Nature Conservation Strategy for Scotland and on draft guidelines on the selection of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and the development of the MPA network in the seas around Scotland. The original consultation papers can be found here: A Strategy for Marine Nature Conservation in Scotland: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/marine/marine-environment/Conservationstrategy/draftconstrategy Marine Protected Areas in the Seas around Scotland: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/marine/marine-environment/mpanetwork/draftmpaguide

Economics of Potential Systems for Farmed Production of Cod

Experimentation with the cultivation of cod has a history going back more than a century and the potential for developing commercial cod production has been the subject of a number of studies over the past 15 years. Most of these studies have concluded that production of cod does not appear viable in general under the most likely assumptions of performance and price in prospect at the time. However, the most recent report prepared by Nautilus draws much more favourable conclusions on the prospects for viability.

Economics of the UK Fishing Fleet 2020

The report presents economic estimates at UK, home nation and fleet segment level for the UK fishing fleet. The estimates are calculated based on samples of fishing costs and earnings gathered by Seafish as part of the 2020 Annual Fleet Economic Survey.

2008 Economic Survey of the UK Fishing Fleet - Short Report

The 2008 Economic Survey of the UK fishing fleet short report provides a summary of the financial and operational performance of the UK fishing fleet. This report summarises analysis of 33 segments of the UK fishing fleet, drawing on a combination of data collected by survey and data on landings and days at sea provided by the Marine Management Organisation (MMO), which covers every active vessel in the UK fleet.

Seafish Standard Sampling Operating Procedure_Basic Intertidal Habitat Mapping

A lack of information on the precise location of a protected marine habitat or refuge for a protected marine species has caused considerable delays in environmental impact assessments and at worst led to applications to develop shellfish farms being refused or withdrawn as Regulators are unable to decide whether the farm site and/or access arrangements will or will not have a potential impact on a protected wildlife site (Seafish 2006 & 2007).

Assessment of Stress and Mortality of the Prawn (Nephrops norvegicus) During Live Handling from Vessel to Market

Current handling techniques used to transport live Nephrops (Prawns) from capture to export can result in excessive stress and mortality. The feasibility of reducing both these factors, by using more appropriate techniques to hold live Nephrops aboard vessels, at live holding facilities and for air transportation was investigated. The feasibility of using a reduced water system (mist) for road transportation was also investigated.

Design of a containerised biodiesel production plant

This report details work carried out in assembly of a prototype containerised batch production plant that is portable and suited to deployment quayside to support fishermen that wish to selfmanufacture biodiesel. The biodiesel batch plant has a maximum production capacity of approximately 210,000 litres per annum when working one shift and approximately 420,000 litres per annum with 24 hour working.
