This report describes the findings of an experimental voyage of the MFV 'Marantha III' to the deep water grounds of the North Atlantic Slope. The primary objective of the voyage was to conduct a series of instrumental trials to assess the performance and power demands of both the propulsion engine and trawl winches when fishing at depths from 200-1000 metres. Fishing gear performance, the post harvest care of the catch and the results of quality assessments of the main deep water species are also discussed.

Fishing spatial-temporal pressures and sensitivities analysis for MPA Fish-ing Industry Collaboration Pilot FES 252: Report on Seafish workshop on the physical effects of fishing activities on the Dogger Bank

This workshop, which is part of a larger project; Fishing Spatial-Temporal pressures and sen-sitivities analysis for MPAs (FES 252) carried out by NFFO and funded by EFF, is designed to review knowledge of physical actions on the seabed of fishing gear components and their envi-ronmental effects in order to contribute to this process of risk assessment.

Consumer Perceptions of Frozen and Chilled Seafood

This research study set out to try to explain the differing consumer perceptions of frozen seafood relative to chilled seafood and what is influencing attitudes towards frozen food and seafood.

Trials to Assess the Effectiveness of Ionization, Chlorination and UV Irradiation for the Disinfection of Seawater

Clean supplies of water are essential for the industry to maintain high standards of hygiene and quality. Where seawater is used, regulations demand that the water is free from microbiological contamination and that disinfection is carried out where required. In an operation such as shrimp processing where the product is cooled in seawater, cross contamination as a result of using contaminated seawater may result in food poisoning. It is thought that seawater containing a disinfectant residual may also be used to slow the microbiological spoilage of the product itself. For example using treated water in an RSW system may improve fish quality and extend shelf life. A series of practical trials were carried out to determine the effectiveness of electrolytic ionization, UV irradiation and chlorination for killing bacteria in seawater, with a view to the development of a commercial system for use on shrimp boats. A trial was also carried out to determine the effect on white fish quality of using ionized water in an RSW system. All treatments except chlorination using sodium hypochlorite proved to be unsuitable due to poor bacteriocidal performance and/or prohibitive costs. Sodium hypochlorite gave effective coliform bacterial kills at dose levels as low as 5 mg/1 of chlorine. A marginal improvement in quality was determined over a 7 day period with treated RSW versus untreated RSW.

Landing Obligation Economic Impact Assessment (EIA). Interim Report Two: Scenario Analysis

This report includes comparisons of the relative effects of policy levers on the economic impact of the landing obligation on six UK key fleet segments

Coastal Characterisation & the CSO Text Alert Initiative

Combined Sewer Overfalls (CSO's) are a safety valve in the treatment of human waste that can when operated in the area of bivalve mollusc harvesting. Text alerts of activation of CSO's direct to harvesters are now being trialled in the UK. This document describes the factors that can be considered by a harvester when carrying out a risk assessment. Knowledge of these factors affects when text alerts are received will result in enhanced active management decisions.
