Use of shell in aggregates_B54
Shell waste is a major financial and operational burden on the shellfish industry. Although there are, in theory, many uses for shell, there is no singular solution to treat or utilise these materials as by-products and little infrastructure to take shell across the UK. Where infrastructure exists, it is often disjointed or only works on a localised level. Seafood processors are often unaware of potential opportunities. Most processors rely on disposal outlets which can cost up to £150 per tonne of waste making it a very costly problem. This study has undertaken an assessment of the availability of suitable shellfish waste for aggregate applications. In summary, ~43,000t of shell aggregates could be available from the current production of cockle, crab, mussel, oyster, whelk, queen and king scallops. An assessment has been made regarding the availability of these different shell types, market opportunities, technologies to treat the shell and costs. -

Overview of the evolution of the assessment and management of the Northern European skate and ray fishery. December 2014.
The management of skate and ray fisheries has changed radically in the past 6 years with the implementation of Total Allowable Catches (TAC) in the Celtic Sea and West of Scotland as well as the North Sea and stock assessments using the ICES Data Limited Assessment methods. The purpose of this document is to outline and discuss the main trends in the assessment and management of stocks of skates and rays and the fisheries of them in the North Sea, Celtic Sea and West of Scotland over recent years. The assessment and management of these fisheries is discussed in the context of how science, government, fishers and the supply chain could contribute to the management of skate and ray fisheries thereby reducing the necessity for cuts across all stocks of these species. This report summarises some of these advances and it discusses possible further work in these fisheries. -
Environmental Data Gathering for Environmental Assessments_Basic Seabed Habitat Mapping using Acoustic Ground Discrimination Sonar and Underwater Video
A lack of information on the precise location of a protected marine habitat or refuge for a protected marine species has caused considerable delays in environmental impact assessments and at worst led to applications to develop shellfish farms being refused or withdrawn as regulators are unable to decide whether the farm site and/or access arrangements will or will not have a potential impact on a protected wildlife site (Seafish 2006 & 2007). -
Fishing spatial-temporal pressures and sensitivities analysis for MPA Fish-ing Industry Collaboration Pilot FES 252: Report on Seafish workshop on the physical effects of fishing activities on the Dogger Bank
This workshop, which is part of a larger project; Fishing Spatial-Temporal pressures and sen-sitivities analysis for MPAs (FES 252) carried out by NFFO and funded by EFF, is designed to review knowledge of physical actions on the seabed of fishing gear components and their envi-ronmental effects in order to contribute to this process of risk assessment. -

B18_Cod egg fatty acids project - Final report
Production of good quality juveniles from cod hatcheries relies heavily on the quality of eggs produced. However, egg quality can be highly variable and identifying, at an early stage, which eggs are likely to generate good hatch rates and larval survival can save time and money that could be wasted incubating poor quality eggs. Evidence suggests that the egg fatty acid composition, especially arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) concentrations, as well as the ARA/eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) ratio are vital for good egg quality. Similarly the egg carotenoid, principally astaxanthin, (Ax) content is also correlated with improved egg and larval quality in other fish species. -

Seafish economic impact report on cockle mortality
A social and economic impact assessment of cockle mortality in the Burry Inlet cockle fishery, south Wales UK. -
A social and economic impact assessment of cockle mortality in the Burry Inlet and Three Rivers cockle fisheries, South Wales UK
Mortalities of larger, more valuable cockle 2 and 3 year-classes have recurred on the Burry Inlet (Loughour) Estuary (BI) since 2002 and on the nearby Three Rivers Estuary (TR) since 2005. The aim of this report is to estimate the economic impact of the mortality on the south Wales cockle industry, related businesses and wider Welsh economy. Stakeholder interviews, direct observation, secondary literature, production and price data supplied by industry and government agencies is used to characterise value-chains, historic livelihood, regulatory and production trends. -

Live Handling & Transport of Crustacean Shellfish: An Investigation of Mortalities
The export of live crab to the Continental European markets represents a growing opportunity for catchers and exporters. Previous studies of mortality of velvet crab are also appropriate to brown crab and this study concentrates on the latter species analysing those factors during transport which are likely to cause mortality.

In cases where this affects the technical content, a paper copy of the original report can still be obtained from Seafish. -
SIPF0093 Innovative Shellfish System for High Energy Conditions (B080).l
A collaborative project was set up to monitor the performance of a new oyster growing system in a high energy environment, the Solway coastline, to investigate the performance of the system and to monitor any environmental changes that might be associated with its placement. The project suffered from serious losses of experimental trials and available growth data that is limited. Solway Marine Oysters have learnt a great deal about how to manage the system and there are indicationsfrom the data that regular sorting and redistribution of the oysters to optimize their size. The oysters produced are of good shape and free of any epibionts. A measurable change in the sediment and fauna associated with the location of the line was detected but whether this was due to the presence of the fixing posts, the growing bags themselves or other changes is not certain. Changes in the fauna were most likely related to the slight changes in the sediment present. The value of thetraining opportunity to one of the Solway Marine Oysters staff is acknowledged and there is an ongoing cooperation between the company and BST Ltd to further improve the operation of the system. -

Time-Temperature Studies in the Distribution of Fresh Fish in Summer
This report describes a temperature survey of fresh fish between the coastal market and the retailer. Over 5,000 temperature measurements were made during the summer months which was an unusually hot summer. These measurements highlight the problem areas in temperature control throughout the distribution chain and shows that fresh fish however good it may be at the points of landing much of it is progressively downgraded or even ruined in quality by the time it reaches the consumer. 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 -
