B40_UK Legislative Status for Abalone Culture
South West Abalone Growers Association (SWAGA) aims to promote the sustainable development of abalone culture in the South West of the UK. In 2003 SWAGA undertook a FIFG Networking Project (FitzGerald 2003) to establish the limitations to the development of the industry of which legislative barriers were a significant feature.This legislative review has been produced as a guidance document for potential operators. Although it signposts the major legislative issues it is not exhaustive and prospective operators will need to establish site specific issues and requirements. It is also notable that there is considerable movement at present in a number of legislative areas and that any opinions provided in this report will be subject to change as interpretations evolve and regulations are updated. -

The Ecology of Seed Mussel Beds
• Mussel (Mytilus edulis) cultivation is the main form of molluscan shellfish production in the UK, worth ~£4.7 million in 2001, about two thirds of which came from Wales. • The commercial mussel industry is dependent on harvesting wild seed mussel beds. Important areas for seed mussel harvest are Caernarfon Bay, Morecambe Bay, South Wales and the Wash. -

2012 Economic Survey of the UK Fishing Fleet - Key Features
The 2012 Economic Survey of the UK Fishing Fleet provides a detailed insight into the financial and operational performance of the fleet during 2012 and 2013. This is the eighth edition of this annual report this year adding sections on employment, GVA and debt repayment. It is also the first of these reports to incorporate infographics. The information presented in this publication is a comprehensive and accurate reflection of the financial performance of the UK fishing fleet and is used by a wide range of people across industry, government and academia. We hope that availability of accurate economic data and expert analysis of fleet performance will be used to enhance fisheries management and benefit the UK fleet in the long-run especially now as we move toward the Landings Obligation. -

The introduction of Quad rig in the NPF – seeking an effort neutral transition and implications for TED/BRD performance
Since 1987 the Northern Prawn Fishery (NPF) fleet has towed double rigs (two nets). Prior to this most trawlers towed quad rig (four nets). To improve economic efficiency in the fishery there is great interest to again allow the use of quad rig. -
B40_Abalone Feed Requirements
Abalone naturally eat seaweed of which some less abundant species are preferred. In culture situations where seaweed sources are considered it will be necessary to demonstrate that operations are sustainable to ensure no significant impact on the marine ecosystem. Furthermore, when abalone culture is proposed in Special Areas of Conservation (SAC’s) a higher level of ‘Appropriate Assessment’ will be required. This report is a guidance document to help address some of these issues and present options for individual scheme consideration. -

Project Inshore - Stage 3 Strategic Sustainability Review Aguide to stock assessment and setting harvest control rules
In this document we make a series of recommendations on how English inshore fisheries might meet the MSC standard without unrealistic demands on resources at the disposal of IFCAs. Both the MSC standard (e.g. MSC Certification Requirements v1.3 CB4.0.3) and FAO Code of Conduct (FAO 1995) indicate that the management system should be appropriate to the scale and intensity of the fishery. -

Fuel Systems Testing - Determinations of the effect of (electro-) magnetic installations, a fuel additive and a lubricant additive on diesel fuel consumption
On 6th March 2008 representatives from SeaFISH and the University of Exeter met to discuss testing of fuel economy enhancement technologies at the CSM dynamometer test cell facility. These discussions resulted in an order for testing of various technologies to determine their effectiveness. The proposed technologies were varied in nature, ranging from the use of permanent and electromagnets installed on fuel lines to performance exhaust systems and engine lubricant conditioners. For each of these technologies, engine performance and fuel consumption tests were undertaken once without the technology deployed, then once with the technology installed. The results from the two tests were compared. -
