Survey of Existing Good Manufacturing Practice Standards in the Fish Industry

The EU fish quality labelling and monitoring concerted action project brought together industry and scientists to establish common views on the subject. A series of international surveys were carried out as part of the project. The final survey investigated the operation of good manufacturing practice and standards in the fish industry and perceived needs for further standards. This report describes the UK results of that survey.

The Development of Multi-Rig Trawling Systems in the UK - Past, Present and Future?

Autonomous Scallop Harvesting Platform (ASHP)

The Autonomous Scallop Harvesting Platform (ASHP) is envisaged to be a self-contained automatic shellfish harvesting system. The concept is of a vehicle which moves underwater over a pre-determined search area and identifies and collects specified shellfish with minimal impact on the surrounding environment.

An Integrated Traceability, Marketing and Back Office System for Inshore Ports and Vessels

In cooperation with commercial partners, Seafish has developed systems for weighing and labelling of boxed fish at sea in response to market and legislative requirements to provide accurate product defination and provenance at the point of first sale. This report describes how the data required by law or for trading may be captured and handled electronically on landing at small inshore ports to improve marketing and administrative efficiencies.

Economic Impact Assessment of the 2004 Fisheries Management Regime in the UK Whitefish Fleet

Seafish has developed a series of models, based on historical landings and costs and earnings data which predict the financial outcome for segments of the UK fleet, based on inputs of landings levels, fishing effort and fish selling prices. The model reflects a range of possible scenarios for the UK whitefish fleet in 2004.

Economics of the UK Fishing Fleet 2019

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 2019 Annual Fleet Economic Survey

Seafish response to GLA Licensing Standards Consultation

This dealt mainly with the GLA's own licensing standards, which it issued in 2006. It contains a section that deals specifically with shellfish gathering in which th GLA's very broad interpretation of 'shellfish gathering' is under review.

Seafish response to Consultation on a Northern Ireland Marine Bill - Policy Proposals

The Northern Ireland Marine Bill will contain provisions for marine planning and marine nature conservation within Northern Ireland's territorial waters (within the 12 nautical mile limit). The consultation contains proposals a framework for Northern Ireland’s seas based on: a new system of marine planning that will balance conservation, energy and other resource needs; a further streamlining of marine licensing above that already provided for in the UK Act; and improved processes for marine nature conservation. Original consultation documents are available here: http://www.doeni.gov.uk/index/protect_the_environment/water/marine_bill_.htm

Fuel Flow Metering for Fishing Vessels Phase-1 Preliminary Report

The objective of the Phase 1 work was to assess the available technology in terms of quoted specification, cost, transducer type and installation requirements, with a view to selecting devices to test. Work on Phase 1 formally started on 21 July 2008 and the agreed duration for the complete project was 2-3 months. From early discussions with suppliers of fuel flow meters, it became apparent that lead times for the supply of certain meters could be as much as one month. Given the proposed project duration and these supply times, it was vital to expedite decisions on which fuel meters would be tested within the programme. This report summarises findings thus far during Phase 1 of the work, to allow devices with long supply lead times to be ordered in time to ensure the project will complete to schedule. Decisions made on the devices to be tested are reported herein. These devices were selected in consultation with a representative SeaFISH during a meeting held on 24th July. As it is presented at a very preliminary stage of the work, it should be appreciated that the materials presented herein may be revised by the time of presentation of the final project report. The research team have already encountered one result that will significantly effect the direction of the work.
