Development of an intensive post larval rearing system (pilot scale) for an existing successful lobster hatchery (Orkney Lobster Hatchery

A void is a 'Hole' or 'Pit', containing air or ice, within a fish block, generally seen in the surface of the block . Voids are undesirable because they affect the final weight and appearance of a portion produced from the block. This document, based on information provided by Beck Pack Systems A/S summarises the common causes of voids in frozen fish blocks and makes recommendations to minimise their occurrence.

Guidance sheet – New Labelling Rules for food sold loose and food service

From 12 December 2014 the EU Food Information to Consumers Regulation will require allergen information to be given with food sold loose or pre-packed on the premises. This will include fish mongers and catering establishments. There is a legal requirement to inform the consumer as to the presence of 14 allergens: Milk Eggs Fish Crustaceans (e.g. crab, lobster, crayfish, shrimp, prawn) Molluscs (e.g. mussels, oysters, squid) Peanuts Tree nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, cashews, pecans, Brazils, pistachios) Sesame seeds Cereals containing gluten (i.e. wheat (such as spelt and Khorasan wheat), rye, barley, oats, or their hybridised strains) Soybeans Celery and celeriac Mustard Lupin Sulphites at concentration of ten parts per million and above

Crustacea processing waste management

With changes in waste legislation, shellfish waste management has become increasingly difficult and expensive. This has significantly affected the shellfish processing sector, particularly the crustacea sector as there is a lack of cost-effective outlets for their waste. Disposal costs of £60 to 300 per tonne are common, which is not economically viable for many businesses. To establish whether it is possible for UK processors to generate an income or reduce the costs of crustacea waste disposal, Seafish initiated a project to look at the range of options available for crustacea waste management and identify which have potential for success. The project looked at all the crustacea species processed in the UK and the range of products or extracts that can be produced. This document summarises the findings of this work.

Seafish response to the Commission Proposal on the Review of the Fisheries Control Regulation consultation

Defra's Marine and Fisheries Agency carried out a consultation on the Commission Proposal on the Review of the Fisheries Control Regulation, including a preliminary Impact Assessment. The basic idea of the Commission proposal was to improve the efficiency of fisheries control by encouraging Europe-wide standardisation and coordination, and to reduce the administrative burden by introducing new technologies. In the response, it is stressed that the administrative requirements constitute an unwelcome increase in the burden to operators in the supply chain.

FS55-6.10_Utilisation and disposal of mollusc shell waste

The utilisation and disposal of waste is highly regulated and processors need to ensure their waste is responsibly dealt with. Changes in legal requirements have resulted in outlets for the disposal of waste becoming increasingly restricted and expensive. And it is not necessarily straightforward to utilise shell for other products. This factsheet summarises the key facts about mollusc shell use and disposal.
