Glazed Seafood Weight Indication Guidance

Frozen seafood or fishery products which are presented for sale to the final consumer or to mass caterers with a protective ice-glaze should only have their ‘net’ weight indicated. This should be the weight of the product itself i.e. product without the glaze. Indications of the size of the individual food products, for example the size of prawns within the package, should also be given net of glaze, referring to only the drained product. Products traded between businesses (other than caterers) are subject to different rules. Businesses should be aware that the products, once they are placed on the market to caterers or the final consumer, will require this information. There are also requirements for the price marking of goods offered for sale to consumers. Price marking must also be based on the net drained weight of the product.

Understand the EU’s decision-making process. Part 2

The concepts of public participation in decision-making, and consultation with interested and affected stakeholders, have an important place in EU governance.

Advisory Councils consist of representatives from fishing and aquaculture organisations, plus interest groups such as environmental and consumer NGOs, covering a number of geographical areas and fields of competence. The new Common Fisheries Policy strengthens the role of the Advisory Councils and Member States and the Commission have a duty to take their views into account.

Further investigations into selectivity and separator trawls

This report describes the most recent in a series of trials investigating the selectivity performance of separator trawls. The twin warp nets were deployed simultaneously on a twin rig trawler in the Moray Firth over a two week period. Four different cod end mesh sizes were used in a number of combinations. The catch from each of the four cod ends were identified and measured. The catch data were analysed to determine the extent of vertical separation for each species and the size selectivity of each codend. Good separation was found and some useful observations made as to the influence of fish size on separation and cod end position on selectivity. 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.
