Recipe Development of Six Cockle and Mussel dishes

As part of its overall programme for expanding the market for under-utilised shellfish species, the White Fish Authority contracted a well-known shellfish processing company to undertake development work on new products based on cockles and mussels. This report outlines initial work carried out on seven products that, because they did not fit into the company’s marketing plan, were not taken beyond the recipe development stage.

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.

Over Wintering of Crassostrea gigas Seed at 8 Locations in the UK

Pacific oyster seed of three size ranges were held in the sea over the winter of 1973/74 at eight locations around the UK. Survival and growth rates at each site were monitored at near monthly intervals. Survival of the smallest size (1.5 to 2.5mm) exceeded 75% at only two locations, both warmer than the other six, and fell below 30% at three locations. Surprisingly the two warmer locations produced poorer results with the medium sized seed (5 to 6mm), with survivals of 25 and 45%, compared to 30 to 50% at the cooler sites. Survivals with the large seed (10 to 12mm) at one warm and one cooler site were 86 and 80% respectively. Significant growth was recorded at only the two warmer locations, being about a 50 fold increase in weight in the heated water at Hinkley Generating Station and 5 to 7 fold at Guernsey. At the other sites growth did not exceed 85% and was zero for several. Until the reasons for the variability in survival of the smaller sizes of seed have been determined, commercial growers are advised to exercise great care if they attempt to overwinter in the sea seed of less than 10mm in size.

Investigation into Methods of Providing Accurate Box Weights when Boxing at Sea

As part of the 1982-83 MAFF commissioned research and development programme the SFIA is studying fish handling methods at sea and on shore. Boxing at sea has advantages of fish quality and yield, and efficient handling, but currently boxes are being detrimentally overfilled with varying weights of fish.

Fish Portion Sizes - Blue Whiting & Chip Shop Interviews

In the absence of any up to date statistics regarding portion sizes of fish fillets sold in fish and chip shops, the White Fish Authority commissioned a national survey to interview fish friers. 734 fish friers were contacted by telephone during August, 1977, to determine the average portion size of their main selling species. In addition, they were asked questions about skin-on and skin-off fillets, purchases of wet and/or frozen fish, whether they had heard of Blue Whiting and whether they would consider selling it. The specific use of the research was to locate shops selling small portions of frozen, skin-on fish. Following are the results of the research expressed in terms of national finding with various regional distinctions highlighted when significant.
