Storage Trials of Vacuum Packed White Fish

When kept under chill conditions vacuum packed cod fillets could be stored for up to 8 days before sour flavours were detected. Whole plaice could be similarly stored for up to 10 days. A novel vacuum packing technique using very simple equipment and a valved pouch looks promising.

Frozen Seafood in Multiple Retail 2016

British shoppers have fallen out of love with frozen seafood. Over the past 8 years none of the frozen segments have experienced volume growth. But, over the past 12 months frozen natural and frozen dusted seafood are leading the recovery.

Overview of data-limited stock assessment

This document gives an overview of how fish stocks are assessed when there are not sufficient data available to use conventional models. ICES’s methods for assessing data-limited stocks are outlined, also worldwide trends in data-limited stock assessments

Nutritional Profile - Turbot

The turbot nutritional profile provides the macronutrient, vitamin and mineral value of the fish caught in English waters.

An Investigation into the Use of Flume Tank Tests for Codend Models - Scale Range 1:2.0 to 1:2.7

This is a description of the Flume Tank tests on three variants of a model codend to see how the tank could be used to carry out preliminary assessments of different codends. This would be beneficial to the selectivity programme and could reduce expensive time consuming sea trials.

In cases where this affects the technical content, a paper copy of the original report can still be obtained from Seafish.

Trials to determine the nitrogen factor of both UK and Imported fillet and minced cod blocks

A code of Practice on the declaration and labelling of fish content in fishery products was recently drawn up by participants from Industry and Enforcement Agencies. Enforcement officers will use this Code of Practice wherever there is a need to consider the correct declaration of fish content. The Code currently contains interim nitrogen factors for fish ingredient (used to determine fish content) which have been obtained by reducing the available data on nitrogen content of fish straight from the sea by amounts thought to accord with the effect of good manufacturing practice (GMP). There is a need to carry out trials to determine the actual nitrogen content of GMP products to replace these interim values. This report is concerned with trials carried out between December 2001 and September 2003 to determine the nitrogen factor of fish ingredient of double frozen fillet and mince blocks produced under GMP in the UK. Sampling took into account both seasionality and raw-material capture area. In addition, samples were taken at key stages to determine the effect of processing. Trials were also carried out to determine the nitrogen factor of the equivalent single and double frozen blocks imported into the UK from five different countries.

A Further Study of Amendment to the UK Fishing Vessel Licensing System: A Capacity Exchange System

Following the technical assessment of three proposed amendments to the UK fishing vessel licensing system, undertaken by Seafish at the request of MAFF and reported in TR 344, a further scheme for control of fleet capacity through restrictive licensing has been studied. The three amendments originally proposed by the Fisheries departments did not reduce capacity to the MAGP targets. The purpose of the further scheme was to see if a measure could be introduced to reduce capacity still more at the time an owner changes from one vessel to another. This scheme is based on the premise that, in order to introduce a new vessel into the fleet, licences of greater vessel capacity must be surrendered. Capacity is measured in terms of a Vessel Capacity Unit (VCU) formulation (VCU = L*B+0.45Kw), and derogation would be given for the direct replacement of a lost vessel.

An Evaluation of the Re-measurement of the Community Fishing Fleet in Units of Gross Tonnes

EC/3259/94, 95/84/EC, 97/S161-103655 The SFIA is currently undertaking a contract, awarded by the Commission of the EU, to evaluate the procedures adopted, the progress made, by each maritime member state to comply with the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) 3259/94 (amending Regulation 2930/86) and Commission Decision 95/84/EC. This Regulation (and the associated Decision) introduced a unified system for the tonnage measurement of fishing vessels throughout the European Union based on the technical provisions of the London Convention (ITC'69. This confidential report is intended to describe the progress made to date in the performance of the contract, to outline the external expenditure incurred (which the contract specifies is to be reimbursed at cost), and to spport the Authority's invoice for the intermediate payment.
