Improvement of Selectivity of Trawl Codends
This report describes trials by Seafish Technology into the selective characteristics of codends of three different mesh sizes; these were, nominally, 100, 110 and 120mm. The work was undertaken for MAFF’s Chief Scientist’s Group under their project reference MF0601. The fishing trials were conducted on a chartered vessel MFV Heather Sprig, mainly in the Moray Firth, and targeting haddock, whiting and cod. The experiments used the covered codend technique and also measured essential gear performance parameters by use of a Scanmar package. Selection curves were calculated from the ratio of total fish caught against those only in the codend. Problems were encountered in two respects. First the numbers of cod caught were very low and little significance can be attributed to that data set. Secondly, very large numbers of small haddock and whiting were encountered and there is a need for some caution in interpreting the date because of this. The data have only been treated to a limited amount of analysis because the customer is expected to incorporate them into a general codend selectivity model 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. -

Regulatory Affairs
The Regulation team maintains an overview of current and emerging legislation issues relating to seafood and the marine environment. The team anticipates challenges and responds to legislative developments in the UK and Europe and communicates the views, interests and concerns of the seafood industry to policymakers. Regulation, in most cases from the European Union, is now the driving force behind many of the issues faced by the seafood industry. The Regulation team also keeps abreast of UK and EU legislation issues that are important to the seafood industry, providing seafood-specific advice and commentary. -
Evaluation and improvement of shellfish dredge design and fishing effort in relation to technical conservation measures and environmental impact: ECODREDGE FAIR CT98-4465;
This file provides access to the reports produced during the ECODREDGE project. This project systematically examines the bivalve dredging process and its physiological and ecological consequences. The literature on ecology and population dynamics of the target species, dredge design and fisheries and the environmental effects of dredging and selectivity of dredging is reviewed. A programme of experimental work, both laboratory and field studies is described in scallop and clam dredge fisheries in European waters; scallop species (UK, France) Pecten maximus, Aequipecten opercularis, clam species (Italy; N. Adriatic) Chamelea gallina, clam species (Portugal) Spisula solida, Donax trunculus, Callista chione. Selectivity measures and dredge design are examined for their consequences in terms of environmental effects. Studies included physical, chemical and biological effects both at individual and community level, and selectivity of dredging. These studies include the use of instrumentation and modelling to describe physical effects and behavioural observations, stress and damage indices, both acute and chronic, to describe environmental effects.In the discussion measurement of environmental effects and selectivity are discussed along with the environmental effects of selectivity parameters, dredge designs and responses to fishing effort. The results are discussed in the context of dredge fishery management. - “(Keywords: scallop, clam, environmental impact, selectivity)”. -

Otterboard Performance and Behaviour
Purpose of this Manual The Sea Fish Industry Authority (U.K.), IFREMER (France) and DIFTA (Denmark) have collaborated on an EC funded project to assess the performance of a wide range of otterboards which are currently available to fishermen. This manual is based on the results of this project. It is intended for those actively involved in fishing, although much of it will interest persons active in the gear technology field. This manual has the following objectives:- To define terminology and explain the technical operation of otterboards. To provide information on the methods used and the results obtained during the otterboard tests. To provide information for calculating the equivalent sizes of different types of otterboard to give a trawl the same spread. To assist in solving common rigging faults and otterboard problems. To provide guidance on the possibilities of saving fuel. -
The Mechanical Discharge of Wet Fish Trawlers at Tidal Ports
This report describes trials held between 1973 and 1975 of a new method of discharging wet fish trawlers at a tidal port, in this case Aberdeen. The principle was that of a vertical lift from a high speed winch discharging on a boom conveyor cantilevered from the quay with the whole unit being independent of the vessel. This technique was unaffected by tidal variations during the landing period. The prototype equipment functioned well and was easily operated by the fish porters and could increase productivity by around 20%. Because of the recession in landings at Aberdeen the system was not subsequently adopted. However, as the equipment is versatile in its ability to discharge wet fish vessels from 20m upwards at all quaysides with sufficient headroom whether tidal or gated and with vessels moored bow in or alongside, recommendations for future commercial development was given.
