FS6-11.08 Nov 2008 Fuel additives

As part of an integrated research programme looking at improving fuel efficiency for fishing vessels Seafish has tested eight diesel fuel additives for red diesel to assess manufacturer’s claims that their use leads to a reduction in fuel consumption. The results of the work indicate that there were no discernible improvements in fuel economy when using diesel fuel additives under test cell conditions. Only one additive showed a saving of around 1%. The other seven additives showed no significant effect on the fuel consumption of the test engine through the test cycle used. If the results from the tests are typical of real duty cycles, then the use of additives would increase operating costs for fisherman as they would have to pay for the additive as well as for the fuel.

Ussing Socio-Economic information in European Marine Site management: UK Shellfisheries

There is a general governmental commitment in the UK to prioritising social and economic aspects of fisheries within policy-making relating to the marine environment. This is embodied by various recent strategy documents, such as Net Benefits, Safeguarding Our Seas and A Sea Change: the Marine Bill. The UK government has variously proposed the ecosystem approach, integrated coastal zone management, regional and social policy, the development of social and economic objectives, data provision, impact assessments, stakeholder involvement, and ‘marine conservation zones’ as means of addressing the socio-economic deficit in inshore fisheries management.

Effects of electrofishing for Ensis spp. on benthic macrofauna, epifauna and fish species. SR652

This report summarises the results of experimental work carried out as part of “Design and Trials of Electrofishing System for Razorclams – FIFG 57437 and Seafish IPF funding project C85”. The aim of the project was to design and trial methods of harvesting Ensis spp. using electrical stimulus with the intention of providing a more environmentally benign alternative to existing hydraulic and toothed dredges. The results of this study demonstrate that the effects of electrofishing gear employing relatively low DC voltage and amperage can be effectively used in the harvest of Ensis spp. without serious negative effects on the epifaunal and macrofaunal benthic community.
