Composting Seafood Waste

This report focuses on high temperature composting and follows a range of mixes of sea-food waste with household ‘green waste’ (i.e. grass clippings, hedge trimmings and garden vegetable residues), through the composting process as replicated treatments and concludes with bioassay and plant growing trials on the resultant composted material.

Cornish Beam Trawl Diversification Project_IPF C071

With continued rising cost for fuel and no indications of prices falling back again the South West Beam trawl are looking for alternative fishing methods to target monkfish and megrims on their traditional fishing grounds. In Scottish waters many vessels target the same species using twin rig otter trawls. This project was set up to charter one of the Scottish vessels to fish the SW ground using twin rig to see if this would be a viable alternative for the SW fleet. The landings of the twin rig vessel were much less than local beam trawlers but much time was lost in exploring the beam trawl grounds for their suitability for towing with twin rig otter trawls. Despite this the catch rate for the time spent actually fishing indicates that twin rig could be a viable option in the SW. The catch profile of the twin rig is different to that of a beam trawler. Twin rig trawlers catch more higher swimming fish than beam trawlers. More knowledge of the stocks of these fish in the SW is needed to allow for otter trawling being financially viable. The discard rates recorded during the trials are not representative of discard rates for otter trawls in the area. The standard twin rig setup may need altering to better suit the SW fishing grounds and the fish species on them.

Project Inshore - Stage 3 Strategic Sustainability Review Aguide to stock assessment and setting harvest control rules

In this document we make a series of recommendations on how English inshore fisheries might meet the MSC standard without unrealistic demands on resources at the disposal of IFCAs. Both the MSC standard (e.g. MSC Certification Requirements v1.3 CB4.0.3) and FAO Code of Conduct (FAO 1995) indicate that the management system should be appropriate to the scale and intensity of the fishery.
