    B9_Setting welfare standards of cod during transportation to improve safety and efficiency

    The investigation of the relationship between fish size, stocking density, and water quality changes during live fish transportation is expected to give information that could form the basis of an industry code of practice for marine finfish transport which would improve the safety and welfare of fish under such conditions. This report covers a second series of trials testing the effects of a range of variables on water quality during simulated transport conditions, using the cod, Gadus morhua, as the test species.

    Discarding in the North Sea and on the historical efficacy of gear-based technical measures in reducing discards

    We describe and analyse newly available catch and discard data from the English andWelsh fishing fleet operating in the North Sea. In this fleet we estimate that between 2003 and 2006 discard rates averaged 36% by number and 25% by weight. Additionally, we analyse historical discard data from the fleet to evaluate the efficacy of square-mesh panels and increases in codend mesh size. These various gear-based technical measures have been introduced into the fisheries for the purpose of reducing discarding; we demonstrate that these technical measures have been effective in this respect.

    Seafood Imports - Legislation and Official Procedures - Questions and Answers

    Import controls are in place to protect human and animal health. Food originating outside the UK may have been produced to different standards to the ones in force throughout the EU. Border controls ensure that only food that meets national food safety legislation, and therefore poses no risk to public health, is allowed into the country. Examples of food that would be stopped at the border are fish containing unacceptable levels of mercury, or shellfish containing natural toxins.
