Deepwater Fishing along the Continental Shelf - Seafish Seminar held at Banff - 15 November 1991

Deep water species found along the Eastern Atlantic Continental Slope are now being marketed in France, the USA and Japan. They are known to British fishermen but there is as yet no commercial British fishery. This report reviews the current state of knowledge based on a seminar held at Banff in November 1991.

ICES Area VIIf selectivity Trials. Single Boat Demersal Trawl MFV 'OUR OCEAN HARVESTER' (PZ403)

These trials to measure the selectivity of a trawl in a multi species fishery when fitted with a square mesh panel were carried out on the trawl fishing grounds off North Devon and North Cornwall. The results show an indicative benefit in the use of the panel for round fish but it has been extremely difficult to achieve satisfactory statistical data due to the large number of variables.

Comparative Sea Trials of plastic stack-next and stack only fish boxes

Although the wooden fish box is still commonly used in Scotland for handling fish both at sea and ashore there is a growing acceptance of an eventual change from wood to plastic boxes. Of the two types of plastic box available (stack-only and stick-nest) the stack-nest is considered a most suitable replacement and is already in use ashore but there have been reservations concerning it use at sea. From June to December of 1986, Seafish carried out a series of comparative trials on Scottish vessels to assess plastic boxes when used at sea. The boxes used were a new stack-nest design, produced to a Seafish specification as a replacement for the wooden box, and an existing plastic stack-only box of the same nominal capacity of 70 litres. The trials are described and discussed in this report This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies.
