Appraisal of Alfa-Lavel Centriflow Fish Liver Oil Plant

The objects of the projects were to assess the performance of the Alfa-Laval Centriflow fish liver oil plant in the production of fish oil from the discharge effluent of the vessel’s Shetland Type 28 gutting machine; and the production of a high quality liver oil from whole livers taken from hand gutted fish. During the time the plant was in operation aboard the stern trawler ‘MARBELLA’ it proved itself captable of producing a yield of fish oil from the gutting machine effluent of comparable proportion to the yield of fish liver oil from the same weight of whole fish processed traditionally.

Quality Evaluation of Fresh Fish at Retail Level

Findings of a survey of chilled fish quality available from different types of retail outlet and in different regions of the UK conducted in the summer of 83. The results show that quality at the point of sale is much lower than it need be as a consequence of poor temperature control at all stages of distribution and sales.

Fish In Cook-Freeze System of Catering

This report is concerned with the development of fish dishes for the cook/freeze system of catering. The development work was carried out by the White fish Authority, in conjunction with the University of Leeds Catering Research Unit who were principally responsible for much of the original development of the cook/freeze system for institutional caterers. Twelve fish recipes, suitable for institutional catering, were modified or adapted to the system and some of them were subjected to acceptability tests in schools and hospitals. The results show that fish dishes, including fish which is coated in batter and fried, can be successfully incorporated in a cook/freeze catering system, with no impairment in quality or acceptability. 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.

Reducing the depuration time of bivalve molluscs: assessing risk based reductions in depuration times

Bivalve molluscs harvested from ‘B’ classified areas which are to be delivered to market alive need to be ‘depurated’.

Improvement of Selectivity of Trawl Codends

This report describes trials by Seafish Technology into the selective characteristics of codends of three different mesh sizes; these were, nominally, 100, 110 and 120mm. The work was undertaken for MAFF’s Chief Scientist’s Group under their project reference MF0601. The fishing trials were conducted on a chartered vessel MFV Heather Sprig, mainly in the Moray Firth, and targeting haddock, whiting and cod. The experiments used the covered codend technique and also measured essential gear performance parameters by use of a Scanmar package. Selection curves were calculated from the ratio of total fish caught against those only in the codend. Problems were encountered in two respects. First the numbers of cod caught were very low and little significance can be attributed to that data set. Secondly, very large numbers of small haddock and whiting were encountered and there is a need for some caution in interpreting the date because of this. The data have only been treated to a limited amount of analysis because the customer is expected to incorporate them into a general codend selectivity model 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.
