Deep Water Fishing Voyage, MT 'Luneda', Feb 74

The wet fish stern trawler LUNEDA (J. Marr and Sons, Fleetwood) was chartered by the White fish authority on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food for a 14 day voyage in February 1974. The purpose of the voyage was to make a start upon the assessment of the commercial viability of the stocks of deep water fish, especially grenadiers, which had been found in depths between 400 and 700 fathoms in surveys in 1973. During the voyage only 8 days fishing were possible because of bad weather conditions but the vessel nevertheless landed 680, ten stone kits of various species. The proportion of grenadiers landed (27% of the catch) was lower than anticipated from the earlier surveys but this was more than compensated for by a high catch (329 kits) of blue ling, which was not expected at these depths in these quantities.

Evaluation of by-catch reduction devices in UK Nephrops fisheries - The use of separator trawls in the Irish Sea

The work described in this report is part of an ongoing programme aimed at optimising whitefish selectivity through the more effective use of technical conservation measures, by-catch reduction devices (BRDs).

Instrumentation Trials of a Hard Ground Rockhopper Trawl

CLG. Notes on in person meeting. 18 July 2024.

Seafood is the most traded food commodity globally. This Common Language Group meeting looked at the impact of recent geopolitical events on seafood trade generally, and what this has meant for the seafood supply chain in the UK.

Improved Selectivity in Demersal Trawl Gear

This report describes work undertaken by Seafish under MAFF Commission MF0601. The work investigated how best to position mesh panels in Nephrops trawls to reduce the by-catch levels of white fish. The work was very much practically biased: sea trials were carried out under commercial conditions and took into account problems associated with fishermen’s acceptance of gear innovations. Principal among these was any loss of marketable catch. The trials vessel MFV Heather Sprig operated a twin trawl system. One trawl was rigged with a conventionally sited square mesh panel and three variants were fished against that trawl. Ten days of sea trials were undertaken. In evaluating the variants a number of factors were taken into account: This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies.
