A Survey of Current Research on the Selectivity of Fishing Gear

The selectivity of fishing gears has become an important issue in recent years as a consequence of greater awareness of the necessity to conserve fish stocks, and to take only those species and sizes of commercial value. This report summarises current research work in this field and the ‘state of the art’ of different selectivity investigations. Research is being carried out by several international research organisations and among the leading authorities are the DAFS Aberdeen Laboratory and MAFF’s Lowestoft Laboratory. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies.

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%.
