    FS28-0609 Minimising Voids in 7.5kg Fish Block Productionl

    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.

    The development of larval cod head morphology and aggression and boldness in cod

    The report details experiments in 2004 and 2005 that were funded by NERC and Seafish towards a Phd project carried out at the SAMS marine laboratory in Ardtoe. The morphological development of the head in cod larvae and the effect of prey size on the development were studied as well as aggression in cod juveniles and the effects of prey density on aggression. Some of the key results from these experiments are summarized in this report. Each section of the report eventually formed a chapter of the final thesis (through the University of Glasgow).

    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.
