Initial Trials to Extend the Storage life of Cod and mackerel using Sodium Hypochlorite or Ozone to Treat Ice and Refrigerated Seawater

Despite diminishing fish stocks and the higher prices which can be attained for top quality fish, poor quality fish is still being landed into UK ports. As well as addressing the more traditional handling problems Seafish has identified the use of techniques such as ozonation and chlorination which may enable the improvement of fish quality by reducing the rate of bacterial spoilage. Trials were carried out to determine the effect of sodium hypochlorite and ozone on the quality of cod and mackerel in treated ice or RSW. Holding mackerel in RSW treated with sodium hypochlorite reduced the rate of bacterial spoilage by over 50%; little improvement was seen in the quality of cod.

The Results of a Water and Effluent Study carried out at A. Darnell Limited in November 1997

In the near future new environmental legislation will add greatly to the cost and difficulty of disposing of waste water. This will present a significant problem to the fish industry. Seafish has commissioned a number of water audits in fish processing companies, looking at water usage and effluent production, with a view to minimising both.

Literature review: Isotope ratios in seafood

Seafish requested Leatherhead to provide information on the current state of knowledge on use of isotope ratios for demonstrating country of origin for seafood, notably warm water prawns. This factsheet summarises the findings of a literature review carried out in 2015.

Additional Material to Technical Report 236, A Study of Fresh Fish in the United Kingdon (BRS Consultancy)

The report condenses some of the material in Report 236 into a more convenient form with explanations of some of the computer print outs.

An investigation of the potential of the Baader 34 and 182 machines for filleting small gadoids

Large quantities of small haddock and whiting are landed in the UK. There is no efficient filleting machinery currently available for these fish, and the cost of processing them by hand is disproportionately high. Consequently their market value is low, and often they are withdrawn from sale when landings are heavy. The SFIA has been contracted by MAFF to carry out a commercial evaluation of the Baader 34 herring filleting machine, modified for blue whiting, for filleting these fish. The SFIA also undertook to investigate the new Baader 182, a filleting machine being developed for small gadoids from the now discontinued prototype Baader 121 blue whiting filleting machine. Blue whiting is a gadoid and thus is physically more similar to haddock and whiting than herring.

A study of the probable future fishery usage of the ports of Burghead, Buckie and Macduff

The report identifies the present and probable future usage of the ports of Burghead, Buckie and macduff. Although relatively insignificant in national termsin fish landing these port, provided the bases for a large modern fleet with excellent and well used repair and supply facilities. Burghead is a unique all weather landing place. Motor modernisation facilities recommended for Buckie to support its performance as a shellfish processing centre. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies. In cases where this affects the technical content, a paper copy of the original report can still be obtained from Seafish.

Discard and Effort Survey: Channel ICES Areas VIId and e 1997/98 First Interim Report February 1998

This report describes the activities of the Seafish discard team during the period July-December 1997. Production of this report fulfills milestone 01/2 (31 January 1998) in the Application for a Research Contract. The project is therefore 3 weeks behind to the original plan as described in this proposal. It is not considered seriously behind schedule. A total of 10 discard trips have been undertaken of which seven have been analysed and presented in this report. These results are discussed together with the planned feasibility study of fishermen sampling their own discards.

The Results of a Water and Effluent Study carried out at Scotprime (Grimsby) in October 1997

In the near future new environmental legislation will add greatly to the cost and difficulty of disposing of waste water. This will present a significant problem to the fish industry. Seafish has commissioned a number of water audits in fish processing companies, looking at water usage and effluent production with a view to minimising both.

Storage Trials of Vacuum Packed White Fish

When kept under chill conditions vacuum packed cod fillets could be stored for up to 8 days before sour flavours were detected. Whole plaice could be similarly stored for up to 10 days. A novel vacuum packing technique using very simple equipment and a valved pouch looks promising.
