The Ecology of Seed Mussel Beds
• Mussel (Mytilus edulis) cultivation is the main form of molluscan shellfish production in the UK, worth ~£4.7 million in 2001, about two thirds of which came from Wales. • The commercial mussel industry is dependent on harvesting wild seed mussel beds. Important areas for seed mussel harvest are Caernarfon Bay, Morecambe Bay, South Wales and the Wash. -

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. -

Composting Seafood Waste
This report focuses on high temperature composting and follows a range of mixes of sea-food waste with household ‘green waste’ (i.e. grass clippings, hedge trimmings and garden vegetable residues), through the composting process as replicated treatments and concludes with bioassay and plant growing trials on the resultant composted material. -
B40_Abalone Feed Requirements
Abalone naturally eat seaweed of which some less abundant species are preferred. In culture situations where seaweed sources are considered it will be necessary to demonstrate that operations are sustainable to ensure no significant impact on the marine ecosystem. Furthermore, when abalone culture is proposed in Special Areas of Conservation (SAC’s) a higher level of ‘Appropriate Assessment’ will be required. This report is a guidance document to help address some of these issues and present options for individual scheme consideration. -

Fuel Systems Testing - Determinations of the effect of (electro-) magnetic installations, a fuel additive and a lubricant additive on diesel fuel consumption
On 6th March 2008 representatives from SeaFISH and the University of Exeter met to discuss testing of fuel economy enhancement technologies at the CSM dynamometer test cell facility. These discussions resulted in an order for testing of various technologies to determine their effectiveness. The proposed technologies were varied in nature, ranging from the use of permanent and electromagnets installed on fuel lines to performance exhaust systems and engine lubricant conditioners. For each of these technologies, engine performance and fuel consumption tests were undertaken once without the technology deployed, then once with the technology installed. The results from the two tests were compared. -
Towards a National Development Strategy for Shellfish in England_Executive Report
In order to formulate a National Development Strategy for the Shellfish Industry in England, the Defra Inshore Fisheries Working Group and Seafish commissioned a preparatory Work Programme of 12 tasks.

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. -
Complementary Benefits of Alternative Energy: Suitability of Offshore Wind Farms as Aquaculture Sites
The large scale growth in salmon production in the UK has resulted in most available near shore finfish sites being used up for finfish farming. The development of offshore sites or technology improvements alone hold the key for the sustained growth of the UK aquaculture industry. The offshore wind industry has been rapidly expanding in the UK and will occupy major amount of coastal offshore space when zoning plans are developed. The prospects for using the offshore wind farm areas for aquaculture production (finfish and other species) has the potential to open up new sites for finfish farming in the UK. This work examined the suitability of aquaculture in offshore wind farms from the point of view of all the stakeholders involved. -

Evaluation of Good Handling Practice for Razor Claims
High-quality razor clams (Ensis spp.) are currently exported via airfreight to the Far East where they command a high price; there are believed to be substantial underutilised stocks around the UK.<brTo assist in the possible development of this fishery, different methods of capture and post-harvest handling of razor clams were investigated to examine the conditions of capture and storage most likely to produce and maintain high quality and viable live animals. The razors used in the study had been either diver-caught or harvested using a commercial fluidised-bed towed razor clam dredge. -
Innovative sensors to rapidly and non-destructively determine fish freshness_C017
Freshness is recognized as a main element of fish quality. The direct key functions of storage time and temperature have a significant influence on fish freshness. Therefore, objective assessment has been applied to find a reliable method to determine the fish freshness. Sensory methods such as Quality Index Method (QIM) or Torry assessment are commonly used; however, these techniques rely on skilled assessors and scoring can drift without regular re-training. As a result, a number of instrumental methods have been studied to evaluate fish freshness. Early studies of Nilsen et al. (2002) used a near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic technique applied to specific regions of cod fillets. In this study, imaging methods have been used to study several sections of cod to assess which have the greatest potential for discrimination of changes related to storage time. The appearance and changes in the NIR reflectance spectra of whole fish, fillets and gills during storage on ice have been measured with several instruments to assess their suitability for objective freshness evaluation. This report summarises the results of the research. -
