Swimming and recessing behaviour of scallops seeded onto a range substrates

The influence of substrate is established, alongside other factors such as water current.

Scallop Purification - Initial Trials at Ardtoe, September 1992

Under new hygiene legislation there may be a requirement to purify farmed scallops grown in certain areas. In the absence of any previous experience within the UK a short trial was carried out to establish the possibility of purifying scallops and what further work would be required to develop operating criteria. Trials indicated that fundamental differences between scallops and other bivalve molluscs currently purified in the UK would make purification difficult to achieve.

Quality Audit of the Fishing Harbour at Portavogie

This report presents the findings of a Quality Audit of the fishing port of Portavogie in Northern Ireland that examined the quality of raw material supplies to the port, standards of physical infrastructure, operating practices and management controls. The harbour and it’s environs are owned and operated by the Northern Ireland Fishery Harbour Authority (NIFHA) and services a fleet of around sixty vessels that land mostly whitefish and prawns with a value in 2000 of more than £6M (sterling).

Inland Wholesale Fish Markets - 1. Inland Market Survey

This report is one of a series that forms the first stage in a Joint Study of the inland wholesale fish markets in Great Britain, undertaken by Sarah Maddock (Humberside College of Higher Education), John Tower (Seafish) and David Symes (University of Hull). Each report describes the situation at a single market (or, in the case of the Small Markets, a group of five markets). A Summary Report represents the information for all markets in a consolidated and comparable form and a Retail Survey report is being prepared from around 400 responses to a questionnaire distributed through the Sea Fish Standard. The initial purpose of these reports is to provide the basis for an informed discussion of the situation confronting the inland markets towards the end of the 1980s. We should, therefore, be very grateful to receive any comments, criticisms or suggestions from those who read any of the reports. A Final Report will be prepared after a further round of discussions with representatives from the inland markets has been completed. 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.

Sampling and analysis of benthos from discard samples taken from Western Waters

MAFF PROJECT CODE MF0723 Organisms interact with their environment; this includes not only the physical and chemical but also the biological aspects of the environment. An important component of the biological environment are the benthic invertebrates. They are considered to provide both the food source and the habitat complexity which may be of importance to the ecology of commercial fish species. If changes in fish stocks are to be better understood it is important not to limit studies to the commercial species alone, but to also study the other species that play an important role in their ecology. This study uses bycatch data on benthic invertebrates, non-commercial and commercial fish species collected on board commercial fishing vessels to give an indication of the benthic habitats being encountered and possibly impacted by trawling.

Water Flow Measurement Around A 1:4 Scale Model Vee Door

During full scale door trials with DAFS aboard FRV 'Clupea' angle of attack readings were found to be very high. Model trials conducted in the Flume Tank showed that the waterflow around the door would cause the angle of attack meter to read approximately 20'C too high. No position was found near to the door where the meter would give accurate angle of attack readings.

A Business Study of the Fish Industry at Grimsby

In 1981 the SFIA undertook a comprehensive study of the Fish Industry in Grimsby (Report M & D No. 470). As with all studies of this type, the circumstances change rapidly and any report must be subjected to review from time to time. Currently, the fish industries of both Hull and Grimsby are under study by a team of consultants who have the task of identifying projects which might be eligible for EEC funding. This study in turn is part of an integrated regional study of all the major industries on both sides of the River Humber which has the aim of assessing the long term development prospects for the Industry. The Report M & D 470 has been used as a source document by many organisations, including the two consulting firms, and in order to avoid any misleading information, the SFIA in response to a request from the Grimsby town Council, agreed to bring the Report up to date. This document, is therefore, based on the current state of the Grimsby fish Industry in February 1984.

Raising Standards in the Port Sector Quality/Standards Audit - Newlyn

As part of Seafish’s policy of encouraging higher standards of quality and hygiene in the ports sector, a survey of landing and sale operations was undertaken at Newlyn on the 9th and 10th August at the invitation of local interests. The following notes provide a brief record of observations with regard to the standard of existing facilities, equipment and operating practices for landing and sale. The investigation extended from the fish quays, market and dock estate but excluded merchants premises and vessels. The notes are intended to highlight any problem areas and form the basis for discussion between interested parties to raise standards where required, and to promote the Port of Newlyn. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies.

Mallaig Harbour Authority Port Planning Advice - February 1986

Mallaig has become in recent years a port predominantly landing shellfish and white fish although the facilities evolved in times past to suit the herring trade. He available land is restricted and the harbour Authority are anxious to redevelop the port-area for the mutual benefit of all users including the Ro-Ro ferry to Skye.
