On-Board Fuel Flowmeter Systems for Use on Fishing Vessels

The report describes a typical fuel flowmeter system and lists the practical and technical requirements of the system. Use of a flow meter for trials purposes is described and the techno-economic benefits discussed. A list of known manufacturers is provided.

Recent Developments in Japanese Oyster Culture Industry

This report describes recent developments and changes in the Japanese oyster industry which have occurred over the last decade. The last full review of the Japanese oyster industry was published in 1950 (Cahn 1950). A description of the Hiroshima oyster culture system was published by Korringa (1976) from observations he made during 1971 to 1973. This report attempts to describe the more recent and future trends of the industry.

Good manufacturing practice guidelines - Live bivalves workbook

Seafish have produced this workbook to assist live bivalve shellfish operators in producing a high quality, safer live bivalve in compliance with legal obligations. It is designed to be used in the production environment, onboard the harvesting vessel or foreshore. Whilst these guidelines contain helpful technical information some of the legislative content may now be out of date.

Box Washing and Handling system

The Aberdeen Fishing Vessel Owners’ Association have, for a number of years, operated a Box Pool within the Port of Aberdeen. The boxes, owned by the Box Pool, were until recently, wooden market trunks, capable of containing 8 stones of fish. They were delivered to the Fish market during the night to meet the estimated demand of the subsequent landing. After the sale, the boxes were taken to the Merchants’ fish-houses from whence they were uplifted by the Box Pool’s own collection service during the afternoon and taken to their premises on Albert quay. Recognising the longer term need to restructure their Box Pool, the A.F.V.O.A. had engaged MAS on several occasions over the past five years to undertake studies concerning the operation of the Pool under different sets of circumstances. A comparative costing exercise covering a number of different washing systems, operated on the continent as well as the UK, resulted in the drawing up of a general specification for a washing machine, which would enable the Box Pool to offer an economical services at their existing site, while producing a thoroughly clean box.

Introduction of the Marine Laboratory Designed 4 Panel Bottom Trawl to the British Distant Water and Inshore Fishing Industries

Detailed studies of the design, construction and performance of traditional trawls and experiments investigating those factors controlling the geometry of trawls have been made by the staff of the Marine Laboratory, Aberdeen. Techniques allowing observation of the behaviour of fish in these fishing gears have been developed and consequent understanding of the way in which fish are caught has grown over a similar period. The knowledge accumulated from these studies has been applied during the last three years to the development of a family of 4 panel trawls. The aims of this development have been to produce a practical fishing gear having the same or preferably a higher catching power than the traditional trawls but with greater mechanical efficiency and ease of handling.

Further Acceptability Trials with Farmed Turbot

Following on from the acceptability work carried out in London during the summer of 1974, further trials with farmed turbot from the Authority’s Marine Fish Cultivation Unit at Hunterston in Ayrshire, were conducted in different sections of the fish retail trade including wet fish wholesalers, a frozen fish processor and distributor, fishmongers, restaurants and hotels.

Interviews with Fish Friers Selling Blue Whiting & Customers

This report, prepared on behalf of the White Fish Authority (WFA) by David Elliott & Associates, describes the reactions of five fish friers in Wigan, Peterborough and Chatteris (Cambridgeshire), and their customers to block filleted blue whiting. It is the third report covering interviews held with fish friers selling blue whiting, and their customers. The first two reports, issued as TR 137 and TR 146 in 1976, dealt with a situation where frozen block filleted blue whiting was supplied to members of the Executive Council of the National Federation of Fish Friers who had volunteered to sell the fish on the WFA’s behalf. Since these reports were issued, the WFA have continued to sell blue whiting on a low key, but regular and fully commercial basis to a number of outlets – some 30 friers have now tried the fish.

Summary of Market Research Carried out to Determine the Market Potential & Market Opportunities for Fresh Mackerel in the UK

Rapid increases in mackerel landings during the last 3 years – to a point approaching 10% of the total UK catch – have not been matched by corresponding growth in the home market, with the result that this protein rich species is seriously under-utilised in terms of human consumption in the UK. As part of an on-going programme to discover the market potential and market opportunities for mackerel the Market Development Unit of the White Fish Authority (WFA) contracted the services of marketing and advertising consultants, David Elliott & Associates, to conduct research into housewives’ attitudes towards mackerel and ways in which it was used.
