Report to the Anglesy Borough Council - Proposed business strategy for Holyhead Fisheries Harbour Complex

The South Harbour fisheries port development commissioned by the Anglesey Borough Council offers port facilities allowing vessel access uninterrupted by tidal restrictions; a facility which cannot be offered by any other port on the English and Welsh Irish sea coasts. The combination of deep water, a first-class road distribution network into the UK and Continental markets, the back-up of a fuel supply, a modern ice plant and offering a 24 hour, 7 days a week service, should give Holyhead a very competitive advantage. The attraction to vessels of all nationalities should produce the necessary growth required to give Holyhead the financial stability it is seeking. Two options are open to Anglesey Borough Council for the control, management and development of both the Amlwch and Holyhead fisheries harbours. They may be either through the channels of sub-committee directly responsible to the Council or by contracting the management and development of services to an experienced commercial organisation. In either case all statutory rights appertaining to the South Harbour development would be retained by the Anglesey borough Council.

Findings of a Brief Water and Effluent Survey carried out at A. Christies Ltd

As part of the North East Scotland Strategic Study, Seafish has been involved in briefly visiting representative companies in the region to survey water use and effluent production. The purose of these visits is to estimate the general reductions in both water use and effluent strength which could be made by introducing waste minimisation. This report summarises the findings of the rief visit to A. Christies Limited, carried out on 28 April 1999.

Assessment of the English Channel Squid Fishery (August 1976)

This year, besides repeating the 'Arctic Hunter' squid jigging exercies of 1975, the WFA are intending to conduct a series of jigging trials aboard an inshore fishing vessel. The Moray Firth, Solway Firth and Firth of Clyde have all been recommended as being the most prolific inshore regions for squid, but information received to date suggests that these fisheries may not materialise until the late autumn.

Commercial Trials of Icing and Improved Fish Handling on Small Inshore Vessels at Scarborough

Commercial trials centred on icing at sea were carried out on small inshore vessels at Scarborough during the period 1990 to 1992. The aim was to develop icing at sea together with improved fish handling to demonstrate that financial benefit could be gained from improved fish quality.

Trawl Door Development Project: Project C. Flume Tank Testing of Quarter Scale Doors

This project is the second by a summer vacational student on the subject of testing model trawl doors in the Seafish Flume Tank in Hull. Progress on equipmnt and instrumentation has been made and a standard procedure of testing various types of trawl doorshas been recommended.

Economics of Deep Water species Processing in Scotland

It was brought to the attention of the Scottish Fish Processing Action Group that most of the Deep Water Species fish landed in Scotland is not sold and prcoessed in Scotland but transported direct to markets and customers in France and other EU countries. The Economics Department of Seafish agreed to carry out a preliminary study of the situation to assess the business economics behind decisions to transport directly out of Scotland.

Maryport and Solway Fishing Co-op Limited West Quay Fisheries Department Phase II

The Maryport & Solway Fishing Co-operative in order to service the fishing fleet at Maryport and remain operational must have a location within the Maryport Harbour complex. Ideally, the site to which the Co-operative were re-located as a result of a major re-development on the dock estate, namely the west quay of the Elizabeth Basin would be the most appropriate location.

A Review of the Second International Conference on Molluscan Shellfish Safety

The Second International Conference on Molluscan Shellfish Safety was held in Iioilo City, The Philippines on 17-21 November 1997. This was the fourth in a series of conferences relating to Molluscan Shellfish Safety, the others being The First International Conference on Molluscan Shellfish Safety in New South Wales, Australia in 1994 and prior conferences in 1998 and 1992 on Shellfish Depuration in the United States of America and France. The scope of the conference encouraged a range of food safety related issues to be raised and provided researchers and industry with a picture of the range of factors which can affect shellfish safety. This report contains the abstracts of the papers and in some cases a precis of the presentations. The conference recommendations are also reported. An appendix outlining some of the illness associated organisms detailed in the papers is also included.

Birmingham Wholesale Fish Market - Options for Meeting New Hygiene Legislation

While it is recognised that the future of the existing wholesale fish market is dependent upon greater issues affecting the future of the market complex as a whole, Seafish would seriously question the need to demolish and rebuild the market as a necessity to meet new hygiene statutory responsibilities. It is Seaf's view that the EC Hygiene Directives could be met with relatively minor structural changes to the building allied to changes of equipment and working practices.

The Impact of Whelk Handling/storage Methods on the Product Quality

Samples of whelks were held in ambient, chilled, iced and immersed conditions. Those held in ambient conditions resulted in a poor quality cooked product.

Study of the Fishing Industry in the S.E. of England

The region for the purpose of this study extends from Southend on Sea in Essex to Selsey Bill in Sussex.

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.
