Seafish response to Consultation on a Northern Ireland Marine Bill - Policy Proposals

The Northern Ireland Marine Bill will contain provisions for marine planning and marine nature conservation within Northern Ireland's territorial waters (within the 12 nautical mile limit). The consultation contains proposals a framework for Northern Ireland’s seas based on: a new system of marine planning that will balance conservation, energy and other resource needs; a further streamlining of marine licensing above that already provided for in the UK Act; and improved processes for marine nature conservation. Original consultation documents are available here: http://www.doeni.gov.uk/index/protect_the_environment/water/marine_bill_.htm

Fuel Flow Metering for Fishing Vessels Phase-1 Preliminary Report

The objective of the Phase 1 work was to assess the available technology in terms of quoted specification, cost, transducer type and installation requirements, with a view to selecting devices to test. Work on Phase 1 formally started on 21 July 2008 and the agreed duration for the complete project was 2-3 months. From early discussions with suppliers of fuel flow meters, it became apparent that lead times for the supply of certain meters could be as much as one month. Given the proposed project duration and these supply times, it was vital to expedite decisions on which fuel meters would be tested within the programme. This report summarises findings thus far during Phase 1 of the work, to allow devices with long supply lead times to be ordered in time to ensure the project will complete to schedule. Decisions made on the devices to be tested are reported herein. These devices were selected in consultation with a representative SeaFISH during a meeting held on 24th July. As it is presented at a very preliminary stage of the work, it should be appreciated that the materials presented herein may be revised by the time of presentation of the final project report. The research team have already encountered one result that will significantly effect the direction of the work.

Bulletin FT3_The use of artificial seawater in mollusc purification

Seafish trials with mollusc purification have made extensive use of Artificial Seawater (ASW) in both laboratory and commercial tanks. This bulletin is aimed specifically at the use of ASW for bivalve molluscs and combines technical data from MAFF Laboratory Leaflet No. 39, published in 1977 and entitled 'Artificial Seawater for Shellfish Tanks' and experience gained by Seafish. For more detailed information the MAFF Leaflet or Seafish should be consulted.

B9_Setting welfare standards of cod during transportation to improve safety and efficiency

The investigation of the relationship between fish size, stocking density, and water quality changes during live fish transportation is expected to give information that could form the basis of an industry code of practice for marine finfish transport which would improve the safety and welfare of fish under such conditions. This report covers a second series of trials testing the effects of a range of variables on water quality during simulated transport conditions, using the cod, Gadus morhua, as the test species.

Haddock and Cod Immunology and Vaccine Development

This progress report presents the work carried out in the first two years of a three-year project on Haddock and Cod Immune System and Vaccine Development. The aim of this project is sto study the ontogeny of the immune system in Haddock and the use of this knowledge to develop a vaccine technology.

Guidance Note - Protected Wildlife Sites

There are more than 7000 protected wildlife sites in the UK, and many of these extend to the coast and inshore waters. • Some fishing activities may not have a significant impact on wildlife, some might need to be restricted in certain areas, but if so, it may be possible to find wildlife-friendly ways to keep working. • Breaking wildlife laws can result in a criminal prosecution and a fine of up to £20,000. • This Guidance Note will tell you about the protected wildlife sites in the UK, and how to work with the authorities to stay the right side of the law.
