Rearing of the Harpacticoid Copepod Tisbe holothuriae and its Application for the Hatchery Production of Atlantic Halibut Hippoglossus hippoglossus

At the Marine Farming Unit, Ardtoe, a system was developed for the intensive culture of Tisbe holothuriae, based on the tray batch culture system described by Støttrup & Norsker (1997). Culture was carried out in 20l plastic trays stored in racks, lit by fluorescent lights and maintained at a temperature of approximately 20ºC.

Seafish Bioeconomic Modelling: Analysis of Choke Points and Problem Stocks for UK Fleet under the Landing Obligation, 2017-2019

A bioeconomic model has been developed by Seafish to support high quality analysis of the UK fishing industry. The model provides Seafish with an impact assessment tool to analyse the potential impact of policy measures on the UK fishing fleet, with a particular focus on the potential effect of the landing obligation. The purpose of this report is to present findings from the model developed by Seafish. Several simulations are presented in the report to evaluate the impacts of new policy on UK demersal fleets.

The Sea Fish Industry Authority - Annual Report and Accounts 2011/2012

The Annual Report provides a detailed Management Commentary and financial review of the activities undertaken by Seafish during 2011/2012 and information on future developments.

Fuel Flow Metering for Fishing Vessels - Phase III Report: Fuel meter testing on a diesel engine

The ‘target analogy’ introduced in the Phase II report is revisited to graphically indicate the relative performance of the fuel flow measurement systems incorporating the flow meters under investigation. On the targets, the distance of the centre of the circle for a given meter representsthe accuracy of the device, the size of the circle represents the repeatability of observations. The LHS target shows the relative situation before calibration of the devices, the RHS target shows the same, after calibration. The upper targets reflect the Phase II investigations, the lower targets reflect the Phase III investigations.

2006 Economic Survey of the UK Fishing Fleet

The 2006 economic survey of the UK fishing fleet is the most recent nationwide costs and earnings survey of the sector and continues to build upon the work carried out by the Seafish Economics team in 2005. This study presents the latest economic information on up to 35 segments of the commercially active UK fishing fleet. Survey results suggest that despite increases in vessel earnings across a number of segments, rising operating costs and reduced fishing opportunities meant that achieving profitability was still a major challenge for most of the UK fishing fleet in 2006.

An investigation into the information requirements of businesses sourcing sustainable seafood

The results of a survey of personnel responsible for sourcing seafood in the processing, retailing and restaurant sectors will be used in the development of the Seafish responsible sourcing guides.

Summary of the potential impacts of the network of English marine conservation zones on the UK fishing industry

This report combines three sources of information to help inform industry and Seafish about the potential impacts of the Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) network on fishing through using; 1) the information provided by the four MCZ projects, 2) JNCC and NE advice to the government and 3) the four regional MCZ socio-economic impact assessments (SEIAs). The SEIAs show the potential annual value of fish landings that might be affected if potential MCZs are managed in a way that restrict fishing.

Fish Waste Production in the UK - The quantities Produced and Opportunities for Better Utilisation

The options for fish waste utilisation and disposal are becoming increasingly restricted, creating a significant problem for the UK fish industry. From capture through to processing, the industry generates a significant quantity of fish waste. This report estimates the types and quantities of fish waste generated in the different sectors, from catching to processing. It then describes many of the potentially higher value utilisation opportunities for fish waste and identifies some of those that may be most suitable for the UK industry.

Understanding and responding to climate change in UK seafood (wild capture) - full report

The report concerns UK seafood wild capture supply chains reliant on domestic and international production. It covers major impacts from key climate change drivers, from production to processing, and sets out major areas of adaptation action.
