North West Regional Study

This report provides an overview of the fishing industry from the Scottish border in the Solway firth to the Dee Estuary and the border with Wales. The fleet comprises trawlers of up to 18m. and inshore vessels down to 6m. but other harvesting methods include tractor drawn shrimp trawls and the collection of molluscs by hand. The trawl fishery is suffering from the international overfishing of the North Irish Sea. Inshore fishermen and others attempt to meet EC inspired fish hygiene directives. Fleetwood is in serious decline as a fishing port but local fish merchants still handle considerable quantities of fish, most of which is trucked in.

Mussel Stocking Density Trials

During 1987 spatted mussel collector ropes were used as a basis for a suspended cultivation trial to determine the effects of reduced stocking density on the production of marketable size mussels. Excess spat were retubed for ongrowing in Pergolari mesh and marketable yields were compared with those for rope cultivation. Results clearly indicated that reducing stock density and retubing the excess gave a considerable increase in yields of marketable size mussels.

South West Regional Study

An overview of the fishing industry in early 1993 although official statistics, the most up to date, refer to 1991. Relatively low volume, high value species mainly transported without processing out of the Region much of it to the rest of the EC. The mackerel box is commented upon and the requirement for harbour investment of Newlyn and North Cornwall. The establishment of the Cornwall Fishery Management Group is highlighted.

UK Seafood Trade Report: April to June 2023

This report takes a high-level view of the whole of the UK seafood supply chain to explore factors impacting UK seafood markets, seafood business operations and consumer behaviour during April to April 2023.

Free of flesh shell - further trials

The findings of previous work to define free of flesh shell showed that whilst many shellfish types could be effectively cleaned some species were both hard to clean and difficult to assess their 'free of flesh' status due to high residual test levels of flesh test parameters within shells. This follow on project builds on the previous work, to help find a way forward in developing an alternative testing protocol based upon the use of a leach methodology and to explore options for a combination cleaning process which can produce FOF shell for difficult to clean shell types such as crab.
