Quality Audit of the Port of North Shields - August 1997

This report presents the findings of a Quality Audit of the fishing port of North Shields. The audit examined the quality of raw material supplied to the port, standards of physical infrastrcture, operating practices and management controls.

An Analysis of Fish Quality & Temperature Data from a Survey of UK Ports

This report, prepared as supplementary information for an MSc thesis describes the methodology used for the 1985 SFIA Port quality survey, presents a model of quality change at varying temperatures, analyses the survey data for the effects of the various handling practices in use aboard vessels and at the ports, and presents an estimate of the UK distribution of the quality of fish at first sale (see also IR 1294).

A Technical Study of Fish Processing in the UK

This report examines primary processing in the UK during the middle 1980s. Its purpose is to provide a frank appraisal of the industry and with other food industries and overseas fish processors.

Mussel Purification - Further Developments of a Scale Deep Stack Purification Tank

Following earlier trials the very high density deep stack purification tank initially developed by David Coulson and Mick Butler has been improved and in particular the water flow rate increased yet further. In a series of 6 purification trials the effectiveness of the tank has been demonstrated provided that tank loading is limited, water flow rate is high, temperature is controlled and water re-use is limited. The tank has been granted a provisional operating licence. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies.

Review of Fishing Port Development and Proposals

This report is a companion document to Report 268 which is issued as Part I. Here the processing industry and its geographical location is analysed in relation to supplies including imports. The picture emerges that no one region of the UK is wholly self reliant in supplies and processing capacity. The concept of a resource centre is proposed. It concludes that Humberside is the dominant resource centre in the UK because of imports, overland supplies and processing capacity. This position is unlikely to change in the near future.

Conference Proceedings - Waste Water - The Big Issue

This document summarises the papers presented and the discussion at the Seafish Conference 'Waste Water - the Big Issue' held at Aberdeen on 14 July 1998. The conference addressed the particular problems to be faced by the fish processors and the water service provider in N E Scotland in implementing the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.

Electro Trawling Trials onboard MT Boltby Queen

The report describes the present state of development of the electrified array system intended to replace ‘tickler’ chains on trawls designed for flat fish capture. The system has been developed over some 7 years and has involved trials with Beam and Otter trawls modified to carry the electrified arrays. The latest series of trials, with a modified version of a Lowestoft C4 Otter trawl, are described in the report.

Quality Audit of the Port of Whitby

This report presents the findings of a Quality Audit of the fishing port of Whitby that examined the quality of raw material supplies to the port, standards of physical infrastructure, operating practices and management controls. The quality of fish supplied to the market is generally good but let down by day-boats not using ice and by poor standards of gutting by some boats. The fish market is refrigeerated and generally maintained to a high standard but suffers from inadequate space for handling and transport ex-market that is compounded by public right of access. The standard of hygiene on the market is poor despite the introduction of a code of practice with smoking, drinking, eating and walking on fish boxes commonplace. Wash-down of the market floor is adequate but improvements could be made to cleaning of the wall, market equipment and oxes. Recommendation is made for establishing standards, procedures and controls, including documented records of monitoring and a policy for enforcement and for training.
