Fishing Industry of S.W, England - A Business Study

The report describes the Fishery in the S. West during 1984/1985 and is part of the series of background studies covering the U.K. Fisheries as a whole. The Fishery is broadly divided into the deep water section - typified by the Brixham and Newlyn beamers and the inshore vessels operating mainly from coves in Cornwall. The competition for the fish resouces is described but in general the fishery is enjoying some growth mainly as a result of sales to the Continent.

Maryport & Solway Fishing Co-op Limited - West Quay Fisheries Development

As a result of a major redevelopment on the dock estate, the Maryport and Solway Fishing Co-operative is to be relocated to a site on the east quay of the Elizabeth Basin within the Maryport Harbour complex. The Co-operative to develop the site on offer is faced with having to conform to pending EC and UK health and hygiene standards which would necessitate the construction of a purpose built building for the packing, grading and chilling of fish.

Cuttlefish Quality and Handling Trials

In conjunction with the Marine Technology department's cuttlefish capture trials, the Fish Technology department conducted trials to investigate factors affecting cuttlefish quality. The trials studied the effects of both icing delay and gutting delay upon cuttlefish quality. Although the extent of the trials was limited they showed that cuttlefish spoil rapidly if not chilled and that even a short delay of 6 hours between bringing them aboard and icing has a significant effect on quality. The gutting delay trials have shown that the gut membrane of the cuttlefish is very strong, and for cuttlefish stored from capture at chill temperatures, it takes approximately 9-10 days before this membrane weakens, ruptures and effects the cuttlefish's quality. Some D.A. Massonage to cuttlefish was noted, caused by certain capture methods used, especially pots. See also Seafish Report SR467.
