Irish Sea Finfish and Nephrops Discard Study 1993_94

This report describes the results of a study to assess the feasibility of longer term monitoring of discarding practices in the towed gear fisheries of the Irish Sea (ICES Area VIIa) carried out during the period June 1993-August 1994. The report describes the development of methods considered suitable for assessming discard rates in these fisheries and discusses factors affecting the variation in discard rates.

Facts and Figures about the South West Fishery

Two MAFF fishery 'districts' encompass Devon and Cornwall fisheries. These extend from Lyme Regis to Fowey and Fowey to Bude respectively.

Efficient Use of Energy in Fish Harvesting_Interim Meeting

The principal rationale to hold a meeting related to the premise that fish harvesting utilises more energy to produce a kilgramme of product than any other in the food producing industry. The fishing industry should, therefore find ways of optimising its energy consumption. Responsible approaches to harvesting operations must be found that yield the desired quantity and composition of fish while at the same time being fuel efficient. This concept coincides with the need to optimise energy consumption in the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible fishing which is also a concept being developed by the Canadian Government. The objective of the meeting was to bring together those in the inernational community who are working on research, development and commercial projects in responsible fishing operations to avoid duplication of effort.

Comparative Sea Trials on Peter Ross 'Hydrodynamic' Trawl Floats

This report describes sea trials which were carried out by Seafish Technology for Peter Ross Fishing Services Ltd to compare the performance of Peter Ross 'hydrodynamic'floats with conventional spherical floats.

PESCA Funded Fisheries Trials - Deep Water Netting Trials

Trials with deep water specification monk tangle nets were carried out on board the MFV Siarach II over a 15 day period.

Trials with Monofilament Longline gear on MFV Gannet in Whitby

A 39ft Whitby vessel, MFV Gannet was chartered for 15 fishing days between 14 January and 12 February 1985. The vessel was fitted with equipment for the purpose of monofilament longlining. The vessel worked the system for 3 weeks of trials. Catch rates were at times well up to those of traditional longliners working alongside, but on average they were lower reflecting a number of factors. The murkiness of the water, characteristic of the winter months, appeared to obscure the advantages of monofilament lines. The time taken to bait the monolines and the crew learning time are problems still to be resolved.

Quality Audit of the Port of Troon - July 1997

This report presents the findings of a Quality Audit of the fishing port of Troon that examined the quality of raw material supplies to the port, standards of physical infrastrcture, operating practices and management controls.

Analysis of the impact of proposed hygiene legislation on Billingsgate Fish Market

Although Billingsgate Fish Market was established on its current site in 1982 its physical design, layout and operation reflect traditional practices and standards that may no longer be appropriate in the modern food industry. This report provides an analysis of the impact of proposed EU Food Safety Regulations upon the market and makes recommendations with regard to compliance.

Findings of a Basic Water & Effluent Survey Carried Out at Andrew Leiper Ltd

As part of the North East Scotland Strategic Study, Seafish has been involved in briefly visiting representative companies in the region to survey water use and effluent production. The purpose of these visits is to estimate the general reductions in both water use and effluent strength which could be made by introducing waste minimisation. This report summarises the findings of the brief visit to Andrew Leiper Limited carried out on 29 April 1999.
