A Profile of the South Coast Fisheries - Lyme Regis to Selsey Bill

The fishing sector of the Southern Sea Fisheries District, of Lyme Regis to Selsey BIll, is typified by small-boat (below 12m) operators who collectively lack organisation and representation. It is estimated from anecdotal evidence (see p.2) that in the order of 350 fishing boats operate full time from numerous bases seriously lacking in infrastructure support. Most boats are owner operated, with the only fleet operation being that of Johnson’s Sea Enterprises of Portsmouth who operate four large beam trawlers. In excess of 300 other craft, all less than 12m operate on a part time or casual basis.

An Investigation into the Conditions Required for the successful Shucking of Wash Mussels

Wash mussels taken from intertidal beds have exhibited problems during the shucking process to obtain good quality meats. The problem is identified as relting to rapid heat transfer to loosen the meats and the thinner shelled mussels from sub-littoral zones are likely to be more suitable for processing.

A study of the lobster population of Poole Bay, Dorset

As a part of the ongoing development of the Wytch Farm oilfield, British Petroleum are proposing to recover the offshore reserves by use of an artificial island which would house the drilling and extraction equipment. This would be sited in Poole Bay on seabed of low productivity. To enhance the fishery in the area BP are investigating the possibility of a lobster stock enhancement scheme centred on the island.

Stress Measurement during launch of the M.V. Bromley Pearl - H991

In 1990, SFIA were invited by Richard Dunston (Hessle) Limited to submit a quotaion for the measurement of stresses induced at the launch of the above vessel. The stresses were to be measured by means of resistive strain gauges at nine locations (six on the main deck and three on the tank top) and records of strain levels maintained for subsequent analysis.
