A Report on the UK Herring Fisheries in the 1980s
The British herring fishery has declined dramatically since the early part of the century. The ban in 1977 was a result of indiscriminate overfishing by all fishing nations in the post war period. Now that the ban has been eased, the Common Fisheries Policy sets out the UK quota clearly and in this there are opportunities for development of a more stable UK herring fishery.

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. 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. -
A Study to Forecast the Commercial Costs of Farming Turbot and Dover Sole
The 1975 equivalent report (Technical Report 130) was based on research results obtained from the White Fish Authority’s (WFA) and the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food fish cultivation programmes. At that time, because, of course, industry’s involvement was not at the commercial stage, several of the important costing parameters had to be taken from fresh water trout farming. Predictions, however, were that such schemes were viable. Since 1975 the WFA’s Research and Development Programme has largely been directed to confirming the predictions and to establishing commercially appropriate costs. During the period, commercial participation has become more active, particularly with turbot. 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. -
The Continued Development of a Larval Rearing Technique for Turbot
Eggs of turbot, Scophthalmus maximus, were transported from the White Fish Authority’s Marine Farming Unit, Hunterston and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries & Food Unit, Lowestoft at the eyed ova stage and hatched in tanks at the Authority’s Marine Farming Unit, Ardtoe. The tanks, with constant illumination and temperature control, were stocked with rotifers, Brachionus plicatilis and algae (mainly Phaeodactylum sp) before the eggs were installed. The larvae were fed successively on rotifers, various stages of the brine shrimp, Artomia salina, and mysid shrimps, Leptomysis gracilis. A total of 1,764 metamorphosed fish were produced, the survival of the best batch of eggs being 1.1%. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies.

Squid - A review of their biology and fisheries
LABORATORY LEAFLET NO. 48 - LOWESTOFT Worldwide interest in squid fisheries remained at a low level until shortly after the second world war when the Japanese developed their fishery for Todarodes pacificus into a major industry. In 1960 this produced a peak catch in excess of 690,000 tonnes. Subsequently the Japanese have exploited squid in several other parts of the world and over the last two decades a major fishery has developed in the North-west Atlantic involving distant-water fleets from most of the major fishing nations.

Fact Sheet: Seafish activities in relation to the Landing Obligation. December 2017
Under the revised Common Fisheries Policy a Landing Obligation (LO) is being introduced gradually, between 2015 and 2019 for all commercial fisheries (species under TACs, or under minimum sizes) in European waters. Seafish’s work on the LO is diverse and cuts across a number of work streams. We are providing valuable services to industry and government and our coordination role in communicating about ongoing projects is limiting duplication of work. This paper summarises our recent, current and future activities. These activities have been agreed by Seafish’s three Sector Panels and demonstrate a commitment to help industry meet the challenges of the LO. Key work areas for Seafish are: economic implications; gear selectivity; the Seafish Discard Action Group; briefings and guidance; outreach; a project to assess the impact of the LO on the UK supply chain; sectoral support; and marketing and communications. -

Line Ripping Trials with Automated Equipment (Jigging)
Ripping (or Jigging) is the fishing method in which a weighted line with a number of hooks is lowered into a shoal of feeding fish. The hooks are disguised with colouired lures to attract the fish and the line is moved rapidly up and down. This has traditionally been a handline fishery, but new equipment from Scandinavia has now fully automated the process at very reasonable cost.

Glazed Seafood Weight Indication Guidance
Frozen seafood or fishery products which are presented for sale to the final consumer or to mass caterers with a protective ice-glaze should only have their ‘net’ weight indicated. This should be the weight of the product itself i.e. product without the glaze. Indications of the size of the individual food products, for example the size of prawns within the package, should also be given net of glaze, referring to only the drained product. Products traded between businesses (other than caterers) are subject to different rules. Businesses should be aware that the products, once they are placed on the market to caterers or the final consumer, will require this information. There are also requirements for the price marking of goods offered for sale to consumers. Price marking must also be based on the net drained weight of the product. -

Understand the EU’s decision-making process. Part 2
The concepts of public participation in decision-making, and consultation with interested and affected stakeholders, have an important place in EU governance. Consultation is a process through which the Commission collects opinions and views from citizens and stakeholders about its policies in line with Treaty obligations. Advisory Councils consist of representatives from fishing and aquaculture organisations, plus interest groups such as environmental and consumer NGOs, covering a number of geographical areas and fields of competence.

Further investigations into selectivity and separator trawls
This report describes the most recent in a series of trials investigating the selectivity performance of separator trawls. The twin warp nets were deployed simultaneously on a twin rig trawler in the Moray Firth over a two week period. Four different cod end mesh sizes were used in a number of combinations. The catch from each of the four cod ends were identified and measured. The catch data were analysed to determine the extent of vertical separation for each species and the size selectivity of each codend. Good separation was found and some useful observations made as to the influence of fish size on separation and cod end position on selectivity. 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. -

Separating fish from prawns in bottom trawls
The Norway lobster, Nephrops norvegicus, commonly called the “prawn”, is widely distributed around the UK and is the main species for a number of important trawl fisheries. The animals are caught by specially designed light bottom trawls with a small mesh, on grounds where the seabed usually consists of fine cohesive mud in which they excavate burrows. But in many Nephrops fisheries because of the small mesh, there can be a significant by-catch of white fish, often of undersized commercial species. This is particularly true in the Irish Sea with whiting and the Bay of Biscay with hake. It would, therefore, make a lot of sense from the point of view of conservation if, when trawling for Nephrops, this catch could be separated from the undersized fish and moreover only those fish of marketable size retained. -

Towing Power Efficiency
This project has been undertaken with a view to establishing relationships between the different factors which might improve or impair the effectiveness of a fishing vessel in the trawling mode. The intention is to provide a set of factors which can be applied to the basic specifications of a fishing vessel to give an accurate indication of its towing performance. A possible application is seen in the transfer or aggregation of fishing vessel licences and in which the current indicator of towing performance (or vessel capacity) is expressed solely in terms of physical dimensions of the vessel and the installed power of its propulsion engine. No account is taken of the utilisation of power on the vessel. Similarly indices of total fleet ‘capacity’ are maintained on a basis of reference to total displacement or installed propulsion power and thus fail to take account of any factors which might alter the relationship between these parameters and actual performance of the fleet. In either case, a means of accurately modifying the traditional methods of assessing performance of individual vessels should provide an option of more accurately controlling the changes in structure of the fleet. 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. -
Mollusc Purification Plant
Viviers (UK) Limited have installed a new purification tank at their premises in Portsmouth to give more flexibility to their existing operation. They contracted Seafish, under their mollusc purification advisory service, to comment on the tanks ability to meet MAFF design criteria, a site visit being made on 5th March. Of G.R.P. construction the tank was found to meet most of the design criteria, the exceptions being a much higher water exchange rate than that normally required and the absence of a water heater. These were not considered to be problems with this particular design of tank. This report describes the purification tank design and operation and concludes that it meets the basic technical requirements and will cleanse bivalve molluscs to the required standard. -

Norovirus and Bivalve Molluscs
Noroviruses are a group of viruses that are the most common cause of gastroenteritis or stomach bugs, often referred to as the ‘winter vomiting virus’. Food borne transmission via bivalve shellfish (mainly contaminated raw oysters) is one (but the least likely) way of contracting norovirus. The number of people in the UK who contract norovirus from eating live bivalve molluscs is very small and numbers are not increasing. This fact sheet looks specifically at the harvesting of live bivalve molluscs, routes of norovirus contamination and treatment options available to reduce contamination levels. -
