Exploratory Voyage for Blue Whiting, 'St. Benedict' April 1974

This report describes a charter voyage of the freezer trawler St. Benedict (Thomas Hamling, Hull) carried out by the White fish authority in March/April 1974 on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. The objectives of the voyage were to bring back a sufficient quantity of blue whiting, preserved to optimum standards, to facilitate development of processing machinery and methods for this species and to obtain trade reactions to it. To obtain a working knowledge of methods of detection and capture of this particular species and to carry out work programmes devised by the Marine Laboratories and Torry Research Station, related to fish population analysis and methods of preservation.

Investigation of the Effects of Overfilling Boxed at Sea Fish on Quality and Yield

The report describes a trial conducted on a Peterhead seiner to quantify the effects of box overfilling. It demonstrates this in terms of fish quality, temperature and weight loss by comparing correctly filled and overfilled boxes.

Work Measurement on Fish Processing Operations in Aberdeen

This project has been carried out at the request of the Aberdeen Fishcurers and Merchants’ Association in order to provide realistic labour costs of processing the principal species handled in the port of Aberdeen. The task has consisted of establishing the time taken for the most common production operations, or to use Work Study terminology, of “measuring the work content” of these operations. This Work measurement has thus provided a basis, independent of fluctuations in rate of pay, which can be used to calculate labour costs of such operations as hand and machine filleting. The data gathered can also be of value to firms for production planning as well as costs and it is proposed to make this information available to interested firms in the form of ready reference tables.

Factors Affecting E. Coli Levels in Shellfish with Reference to EEC Directive 91/492

The contamination of bivalve molluscs by viral pathogens is of concern to Public Health Authorities and the shellfish industry because of the potential health risks and loss of markets for bivalve molluscs. As part of the Single European Market (SEM) the European Commission has introduced a Directive (91/492/EEC) which requires shellfish harvesting waters to be classified according to their levels of bacterial contamination; faecal coliforms or Escherichia coli as assessed by a 5 tube 3 dilution Most Probable Numbers test found in the shellfish collected from those waters. The intention is that bivalve molluscs which originate from areas of bacterial contamination shall undergo depuration or, if contamination is found to be severe, prolonged relaying, in order to ensure viral safety. Before the EEC Directive can be implemented it is necessary to design sampling protocols which would result in consistent classification of shellfish growing waters. This project is intended to examine the variables which could affect E. Coli levels in shellfish surveys and to design means by which bias resulting from these variables could be overcome.
