Using a horizontal separator panel to separate by-catch from the catch in the beam trawl fishery

Information on using a horizontal separator panel to separate by-catch; target species sole and plaice, from the catch in the beam trawl fishery.

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.

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.

Kilkeel Fishmarket Extension

The Northern Ireland Fishing Harbour Authority (NIFHA) is currently committed to a programme of harbour works at Kilkeel that involve the extension of quay walls and the market building to improve the operations of unloading, sale and lay-by berthing of boats. Seafish were requested by the NIFHA to advise upon the structure and configuration of the proposed extension to the existing market in light of the proposed EC Hygiene Regulations. Kilkeel is the largest port on the Co Down Coast and supports a fleet of some 114 vessels in excess of 10m registered length. The value of landings is about £7 million (1988) with nephrops, cod and whiting being the predominant species. This report provides a little background of the intended regulations and of local operational practice, and makes detailed recommendations relating to the hygienic design and construction of the building. It makes specific recommendation for a secure, chilled section of the market for prawn (nephrops) sales. 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.
