Cornish Beam Trawl Diversification Project_IPF C071
With continued rising cost for fuel and no indications of prices falling back again the South West Beam trawl are looking for alternative fishing methods to target monkfish and megrims on their traditional fishing grounds. In Scottish waters many vessels target the same species using twin rig otter trawls. This project was set up to charter one of the Scottish vessels to fish the SW ground using twin rig to see if this would be a viable alternative for the SW fleet. The landings of the twin rig vessel were much less than local beam trawlers but much time was lost in exploring the beam trawl grounds for their suitability for towing with twin rig otter trawls. Despite this the catch rate for the time spent actually fishing indicates that twin rig could be a viable option in the SW. The catch profile of the twin rig is different to that of a beam trawler. Twin rig trawlers catch more higher swimming fish than beam trawlers. More knowledge of the stocks of these fish in the SW is needed to allow for otter trawling being financially viable. The discard rates recorded during the trials are not representative of discard rates for otter trawls in the area. The standard twin rig setup may need altering to better suit the SW fishing grounds and the fish species on them. -

SIPF0093 Innovative Shellfish System for High Energy Conditions (B080).l
A collaborative project was set up to monitor the performance of a new oyster growing system in a high energy environment, the Solway coastline, to investigate the performance of the system and to monitor any environmental changes that might be associated with its placement. The project suffered from serious losses of experimental trials and available growth data that is limited. Solway Marine Oysters have learnt a great deal about how to manage the system and there are indicationsfrom the data that regular sorting and redistribution of the oysters to optimize their size. The oysters produced are of good shape and free of any epibionts. A measurable change in the sediment and fauna associated with the location of the line was detected but whether this was due to the presence of the fixing posts, the growing bags themselves or other changes is not certain. Changes in the fauna were most likely related to the slight changes in the sediment present. The value of thetraining opportunity to one of the Solway Marine Oysters staff is acknowledged and there is an ongoing cooperation between the company and BST Ltd to further improve the operation of the system.
