The Promotion of Pole-and-Line Tuna Fishing in the Pacific Islands - Emerging Issues and Lessons Learned

This study examines the various issues associated with promoting pole-and-line fishing and attempts to derive lessons from experience that may guide future development efforts.

Utilisation of 2015 EU Faroe Bi-lateral Agreement

The Seafish Pelagic Industry Issues Group (SPIIG) asked Seafish to undertake an independent analysis of the utilisation by the UK and rest of EU of the 2015 EU-Faroe bilateral agreement and the utilisation of the agreement by Faroe. An estimate of the sales value of landings made under the agreement was also requested. The analysis of the 2015 agreement repeats a project undertaken by Seafish for SPIIG in 2015, which analysed utilisation of the 2014 bilateral agreement

The UK shellfish industry’s role in supporting shellfish ecosystem services and public goods and benefits

This report considers the role that fishing and aquaculture play in maintaining and enhancing shellfish ecosystem services and delivering public goods and benefits. The relevance of this to future marine policy development is also considered.

Consumer Perceptions of Frozen and Chilled Seafood

This research study set out to try to explain the differing consumer perceptions of frozen seafood relative to chilled seafood and what is influencing attitudes towards frozen food and seafood.

Seafish Standard Sampling Operating Procedure_Basic Video Mapping Seabed Habitats

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delays in environmental impact assessments and at worst led to applications to develop shellfish farms being refused or withdrawn as regulators are unable to decide whether the farm site and/or access arrangements will or will not have a potential impact on a protected wildlife site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).

A Preliminary Study of the Costs of Operating a Lobster Hatchery in Orkney and the Development of an Economic Model for Future Hatchery Programmes

As part of the UK Lobster Stock Enhancement programme, the Sea Fish Industry Authority (Seafish) conducted a series of juvenile lobster (Homarus gammarus) releases in Scapa Flow, Orkney. Hatchery operations and the results of the different trials have been summarised in several reports and articles (Burton 1992, Beard & Wickins 1992, Bannister et al 1994, Burton 1994, Anon 1995, Cook 1995, Burton 1999, Burton in press).

Further Investigations into the Use of Low Diameter Twines for the Construction of Square Mesh Panels

The report is one of a series describing the potential to reduce discarding by the use of technical conservation measures. It covers the second phase of work undertaken to improve the performance of the square mesh panels that are now mandatory in a number of towed gear fisheries.

Environmental Management Systems - A Fisheries Perspective

This report discusses environmental management systems in the context of fisheries to evaluate their utility to achieve the same aims. The findings indicate that the fishing industry contain the requisite elements (suitable management structures and the ability to collect relevant information) that would enable them to operate such systems.
