Cooling of Cooked and Smoked Fish in Retail Displays - Report of Laboratory Trials

From April 1993 Retailers will find it difficult to comply with the Food Hygiene (Amendment) Regs which will require mongers to keep cooked and smoked fish products at or below 5 degrees centigrade. These products cannot be directly iced because of the adverse effect of appearance and texture. This work was carrid out with the aim of developing a simple, inexpensive storage and display system for these products in a retail environment, applicable to both shops and retail vans.

Discard and Effort Survey - Channel ICES Areas Viid and e 1995

Fishery resources in the English Channel are subject to a high level of exploitation by an increasingly mobile and flexible fishing fleet. Resource availability has become dependent upon recruitment variability. Effort is directed onto both quota and non quota species according to availability of resources and quota under the EC Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). Fishery resources are targeted by a variety of metiers and landed to ports in a number of nations. Management regimes and market conditions may vary nationally, regionally and seasonlly.

North Norfolk Coast Fishery - Evaluation of dredges for whelk fishing

The whelk fishery of the North Norfolk Coast is in severe decline with almost all the traditional inshore grounds now devoid of whelks. The nearest productive grounds to Wells-next-the Sea are 30 miles away at Cromer Knoll. This is beyond the range of some vessels and is difficult for others to work. One of the objectives of the exercise was to survey for new grounds.

Scallop Working Group Briefing Paper PSP and DSP in Bivalve Molluscs

Extensive closures of scallop fisheries were experienced in the summer of 1995 due to toxic algal outbreaks of PSP. This lead to an increase in the need for sample monitoring and a heightened awareness of the problems associated with the toxic algal contamination of bivalve shellfish. This briefing paper was produced for the Scallop Working Group meeting on the 23rd February 1996. It provides some background information about the different types of toxic algae and their effects and outlines the current legal position regarding product standards and monitoring. The Scallop Working Group is a cross sectoral industry group of fishermen's associations, buyers and processors which meets regularly to discuss issues of concern to the scallop industry.
