2012 Economic Survey of the UK Fishing Fleet - Key Features

The 2012 Economic Survey of the UK Fishing Fleet provides a detailed insight into the financial and operational performance of the fleet during 2012 and 2013. This is the eighth edition of this annual report this year adding sections on employment, GVA and debt repayment. It is also the first of these reports to incorporate infographics. The information presented in this publication is a comprehensive and accurate reflection of the financial performance of the UK fishing fleet and is used by a wide range of people across industry, government and academia. We hope that availability of accurate economic data and expert analysis of fleet performance will be used to enhance fisheries management and benefit the UK fleet in the long-run especially now as we move toward the Landings Obligation.

A Study of Low Cost Recirulation Aquaculture

The overarching goal of this study is to attempt to demonstrate a low-cost approach to recirculation aquaculture of turbot (Psetta maxima), a high value marine flatfish. The two main assumptions of the project are: • Recirculation aquaculture (for UK industry) is inherently desirable because it allows species diversification, enhances biosecurity and minimises environmental impact • Current recirculation systems are too expensive for the production of fish for human consumption, and would be vulnerable to price declines in the market as aquaculture expands in the future – and are thus not good investment propositions for the industry The project reared its own juvenile turbot at the Marine Farming Unit in Ardtoe, with eggs sourced from France Turbot.

A feasibility study of native oyster (Ostrea edulis) stock regeneration in the United Kingdom

Throughout much of the UK, the native oyster remains in a severely depleted state in the wild, having suffered for two centuries with over-exploitation, pests, disease, pollution and harsh winters. The native oyster is a Biodiversity Action Plan Species. Native oyster beds can form a flourishing part of the ecosystem, with many associated species. A significant driver for restoration of native oyster beds should therefore be re-creating and conserving an ecological resource in order to re-establish a biotope that was once common and covered wide areas of the UK inshore seabed.

UK Shellfish Biotoxin Database Development - Summary Report 1_IPF_B037

This report sets out the results of a consultation to scope the requirement for an on-line marine biotoxins database and website designed to be operated by the shellfish industry. From a consultee list of 560, 289 contacts were made using a combination of email and telephone calls, resulting in 41 responses – a 14% response rate.

Guidance for Fish Processors on Water and Effluent Minimisation

Fish processors are facing dramatic increases in costs for discharging their effluent. This results from EU environmental legislation and may threaten the viability of many processing businesses. However, there is scope for processors to considerably reduce both the quantity and strength of their effluent and so minimise the increases in costs.
