Further Trials to Investigate the Effect on White Fish Quality of Storage in Pallet Bins and Initial Investigations of the Use of Binary Ice
Increasingly 660 litres pallet bins (or tubs or skips) are being used for the iced storage of fish on the larger and more modem vessels in the UK whitefish fleet, for reasons of handling efficiency. Although quality advantages have been claimed, initial Seafish trials showed that there can be a loss of freshness caused by depth of storage in these bins. This report covers further trials to investigate the possible influences on fish weight, fillet yield, and chilled storage life. 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. -

FS51-08.10 October 2011 Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning
Bivalve molluscs are one of the only foods normally delivered to the consumer alive. This, and the fact that bivalve molluscs can selectively retain contaminants that are harmful to human health, means controls are in place to mitigate against potential contamination. A good understanding of the controls and how the animals respond to various handling regimes can lead to safer seafood being delivered to market. To ensure best practice guidelines are followed Seafish has produced a series of industry guidance notes for fishers and shellfish farmers. This fact sheet on Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP) covers: what is ASP, the symptoms, algal toxins, the legislative framework, controls in place, how the samples are tested, what harvesters should be doing and sources of further information. Revised October 2011. -

Squid Jigging From Small Boats
There is a good potential for creating new fisheries around the British Isles based on squid, several commercial species of which occur and are either unexploited or under utilised. The main market for squid and other cephalopods landed in the UK is for whole frozen animals, which are exported to markets in the Mediterranean counties, particularly Italy. The potential of this market and also of the Asian market is said to be considerable. Japan continues to lead in both production and consumption of squid and imports about 10% of the remaining world catch. -

Experimental Fishing Using Large Entrance Spider Pots
This report describes fishing trials undertaken by commercial Shell fishermen based in the SW of England overseen by a Seafish employee based in Newlyn, Cornwall. This project arose from another Seafish trial, based in the West of Scotland looking at investigation the potential for targeting Deep Sea Red Crab (Chaceon affinis). The pots used in this project were originally used as part of the Red Crab project though had subsequently become surplus to requirements. The pots were thought to have potential in the SW spider Crab fishery as a possible alternative to the use of tangle nets. 90 pots were allocated during April/May 2006 to 10 fishermen working from 6 different ports around the SW coast, both on the North and South coasts. All the pots were rigged with a 14” cone entrance and a netted bottom as originally supplied by the manufacturer. The fishermen were also supplied with a logsheet to record catches in order to assess the effectiveness of these pots compared with a standard Inkwell or parlour pot. . On first inspection, fishermen were generally happy with the overall design of the pots, though the pots produced mixed results. The tendency being that they did not fish as well as standard inkwell pots fitted with 10” buckets. There were a number of reasons why the fishermen thought that these pots were not catching effectively, in the main it was thought that the Spider Crabs could too easily escape from the pots especially when the pots were not lying flat on the bottom due to insufficient weight in the base of the pot. The fishermen were invited to retain the pots and make any alterations they saw fit during the winter months to improve the pots performance. -

The Seafish Guide to improving Fuel Efficiency
The high cost of fuel is having a dramatic effect on the profitability of many sectors of the UK fishing fleet. Since 2004, the fuel price for fishing vessels has risen from 15p* per litre to more than 56p* a litre in mid 2008 – an increase of almost four times the price (Figure 1). This has left some sectors of the fishing industry struggling to maintain profitability. Seafish is working with Government organisations throughout the UK to provide expert advice - both economic and technical - to mitigate high fuel costs. It is also offering bespoke advice to catchers and vessel owners on fuel efficiency, covering all aspects of their gear and vessel performance. This guide gives a brief overview of eight key areas where significant cost reductions or improvements to efficiency can be made, in conjunction with assistance from Seafish. -
