A Report on the Packaging of Gigas Oysters
During the present century, consumption of oysters has declined acutely. They have been known in Britain since pre-Roman times, and whereas in Victorian times they were the food of the poor, they are now a scarce, expensive luxury. Yet they breed prolifically. Now the White Fish Authority plan to promote the cultivation of the gigas oyster in a number of oyster farms around the coast, and, side by side with growing, they are setting up a marketing operation to encourage the wider use of oysters by caterers and domestically. One prerequisite is effective, inexpensive packaging. We have, therefore, consulted growers and caterers (see appendix) about their views. Our conclusions on the packaging of both shucked and processed oyster meats will, we believe, be found acceptable to growers and caterers.

In cases where this affects the technical content, a paper copy of the original report can still be obtained from Seafish. -

Distribution, Abundance and Availability of Blue Whiting in the North East Atlantic
Results of surveys carried out over the last few years indicate that there is a stock of at least several million tonnes of blue whiting in the North-East Atlantic. The only known spawning area of blue whiting is to the West of the British Isles. In this area, the adult fish are concentrated during the late winter and spring months but they then disperse, a major part of the population moving Northwards into the Norwegian Sea. They return to the spawning grounds probably via the Faroe-Shetland channel, around February. This report is a summary of material from various sources, including work published by the Marine laboratory and Torry Research Station Aberdeen. It has been produced in order to collate the earlier published work with recently acquired reports from sources in Norway. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies.

Guidelines for the handling of chilled fish by retailers
The Guidelines cover the technical aspects of fish purchase, handling and selling, and of premises, vehicles and equipment, and apply to the trades of the traditional fishmonger, the supermarket, the mobile van operator and the market stall operator. Necessary background information is given and detailed recommendations are made. The Guidelines cover chilled fish which has not been pre-packed for retail sale, including wet fish, smoked fish, cooked fish and shellfish. Guidelines for handling CAP fish, which differs in its handling requirements, are given separately in the Seafish Guidelines for the handling of fish packed in a controlled atmosphere. It is recommended that retailers handling other pre-packed fish, including vacuum packed and overwrapped fish, follow the CAP Guidelines. These guidelines have been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies. In cases where this affects the technical content, a paper copy of the original report can still be obtained from Seafish.

Selectivity Trials of Seine Net Codends - MFV 'KESTREL' (INS 253) - April 1990
This report describes the comparison between three different mesh sizes of cod end in order to assess selectivity criteria. The cod ends were 90 mm x 120 meshes, 90 mm x 100 meshes, 110 mm x 100 meshes. All were diamond mesh configurations. The results showed small increases in the L.50 characteristics but overall the discard rates for each cod end were comparable. The trials were carried out with and without a small mesh cod end cover.

Turbot Hatchery Production 1982
During 1982 the Ardtoe Hatchery of the Sea Fish Industry Authority transferred over 59,000 young fish to the weaning unit, the greatest number of turbot produced at Ardtoe in a single year. However, the season was marked by consistently low larval survivals, the high production being achieved by greatly increasing the number of batches handled (73 batches in 1982, 39 in 1981, 27 in 1980). A total of 1,472,000 larvae were stocked producing a survival of 78,600 (5.3%) at day twenty (d20) and 59,000 (4.0%) on transfer to weaning tanks. The survival to weaning compares with 5.3% in 1981 and 13% in 1980. There was a reduced dependence on eggs from other units in 1982, 54% of day one (d1) originating at Ardtoe compared with 18% in 1981 and 38% in 1980. There were also indications, for the first time, that larvae from Ardtoe produced eggs exhibited better eventual survival than those from other sources.

Summary Report into Oyster and Clam Purification Criteria
During the period December 1991 to April 1992 Seafish carried out a series of trials to investigate the purification of native oysters (Ostrea edulis) and three commercial species of clam, hard shell (Mercenaria mercenaria), manila (Tapes philippinarum) and native (Tapes decussatus). Experimental purification tanks were used and relative activity levels at different seawater temperatures and mollusc densities assessed by visual observation, dissolved oxygen depletion, uptake of red dye and bacteriological analysis. The trials indicated that the current minimum seawater temperatures specified for the purification of native oysters and hard shell clams were too low whereas manila clams were active at much lower temperatures. Stacking native oysters four deep and manila and native clams in 130mm layers did not appear to cause any reduction in activity. The scope of the trials was limited as a result of difficulties in obtaining sufficiently polluted shellfish resulting in no positive bacteriological result. However, some recommendations are made. To assist in the approval of purification systems MAFF and Seafish have developed a technique for the artificial dosing of bivalve molluscs with the bacteria Esheria coil, so far used with mussels and pacific oysters. The opportunity was taken to use this technique during some of the trials. Native oysters were dosed satisfactorily but some difficulty was experienced with manila clams and a larger dose and longer immersion time were required.

Improved Selectivity in Demersal Trawl Gear
This report describes work undertaken by Seafish under MAFF Commission MF0601. The work investigated how best to position mesh panels in Nephrops trawls to reduce the by-catch levels of white fish. The work was very much practically biased: sea trials were carried out under commercial conditions and took into account problems associated with fishermen’s acceptance of gear innovations. Principal among these was any loss of marketable catch. The trials vessel MFV Heather Sprig operated a twin trawl system. One trawl was rigged with a conventionally sited square mesh panel and three variants were fished against that trawl. Ten days of sea trials were undertaken. In evaluating the variants a number of factors were taken into account: This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies.

Deep Water Fishing Voyage, MT 'Luneda', Feb 74
The wet fish stern trawler LUNEDA (J. Marr and Sons, Fleetwood) was chartered by the White fish authority on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food for a 14 day voyage in February 1974. The purpose of the voyage was to make a start upon the assessment of the commercial viability of the stocks of deep water fish, especially grenadiers, which had been found in depths between 400 and 700 fathoms in surveys in 1973. During the voyage only 8 days fishing were possible because of bad weather conditions but the vessel nevertheless landed 680, ten stone kits of various species. The proportion of grenadiers landed (27% of the catch) was lower than anticipated from the earlier surveys but this was more than compensated for by a high catch (329 kits) of blue ling, which was not expected at these depths in these quantities.

The Mechanical Discharge of Wet Fish Trawlers at Tidal Ports
This report describes trials held between 1973 and 1975 of a new method of discharging wet fish trawlers at a tidal port, in this case Aberdeen. The principle was that of a vertical lift from a high speed winch discharging on a boom conveyor cantilevered from the quay with the whole unit being independent of the vessel. This technique was unaffected by tidal variations during the landing period. The prototype equipment functioned well and was easily operated by the fish porters and could increase productivity by around 20%. Because of the recession in landings at Aberdeen the system was not subsequently adopted. However, as the equipment is versatile in its ability to discharge wet fish vessels from 20m upwards at all quaysides with sufficient headroom whether tidal or gated and with vessels moored bow in or alongside, recommendations for future commercial development was given. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies.

Fish Frier Trials with Blue Whiting
This report, prepared by David Elliott and Associates on behalf of the Authority, is reproduced in full as it contains very valuable information on the sale of blue whiting through frier outlets. There is no doubt that blue whiting is acceptable when sold in this manner, and a trade can be developed. The future level of such trade will depend upon the provision of graded fillets, preferably at the larger end of the range tested, and the price at which they can be made available.

Effluent Sampling at Croan Seafoods
Water use and effluent strength are major problems for the seafood processing industry. In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, changes in the charging scheme for trade effluent discharge resulted in a significant rise in costs across the whole of the seafood processing industry. This particularly affected the pelagic industry which uses a large volume of water and produces very high strength effluent. -
Halibut Hatchery Report 1990
The 1990 halibut hatchery season was the most successful so far at Seafish Ardtoe with 128 metamorphosed fish being produced. The reasons for this success after the failure to produce fish in the two previous years were thought to relate to better water quality and a general improvement in the reliability of the systems.

Experimental Fishing Using Fish Traps
The report describes fishing trials undertaken by Seafish under MAFF Commission MF0614. Six Neptune traps were fished over a 10 day period around Flamborough Head. They were set on wrecks and rough ground unsuitable for trawling. Fish catches were generally low, probably because of tidal and similar influences. Lessons learned will be useful in the design of a further scheduled study. -

Summary Costs Study of Dover Sole and Turbot Farming
This study has been carried out to provide guidance in the formulation of future marine farming Research and Development programmes. The requirement was to produce forecasts of the likely costs of farming marine whitefish commercially, using the best data available at the end of 1975 season. The information presented in this report must be read in this light and not, until certain further results have been established and the trials scale expanded, be taken as an investment guide. Two species, Dover sole and turbot are considered. Only outline technical data, sufficient for understanding the basis of the study, are given with the full background material being presented in separate reports. (Refs 1 & 2).

Factors Affecting E. Coli Levels in Shellfish with Reference to EEC Directive 91/492
The contamination of bivalve molluscs by viral pathogens is of concern to Public Health Authorities and the shellfish industry because of the potential health risks and loss of markets for bivalve molluscs. As part of the Single European Market (SEM) the European Commission has introduced a Directive (91/492/EEC) which requires shellfish harvesting waters to be classified according to their levels of bacterial contamination; faecal coliforms or Escherichia coli as assessed by a 5 tube 3 dilution Most Probable Numbers test found in the shellfish collected from those waters. The intention is that bivalve molluscs which originate from areas of bacterial contamination shall undergo depuration or, if contamination is found to be severe, prolonged relaying, in order to ensure viral safety. Before the EEC Directive can be implemented it is necessary to design sampling protocols which would result in consistent classification of shellfish growing waters. This project is intended to examine the variables which could affect E. Coli levels in shellfish surveys and to design means by which bias resulting from these variables could be overcome. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies.

Improvement of Selectivity of Trawl Codends
This report describes trials by Seafish Technology into the selective characteristics of codends of three different mesh sizes; these were, nominally, 100, 110 and 120mm. The work was undertaken for MAFF’s Chief Scientist’s Group under their project reference MF0601. The fishing trials were conducted on a chartered vessel MFV Heather Sprig, mainly in the Moray Firth, and targeting haddock, whiting and cod. The experiments used the covered codend technique and also measured essential gear performance parameters by use of a Scanmar package. Selection curves were calculated from the ratio of total fish caught against those only in the codend. Problems were encountered in two respects. First the numbers of cod caught were very low and little significance can be attributed to that data set. Secondly, very large numbers of small haddock and whiting were encountered and there is a need for some caution in interpreting the date because of this. The data have only been treated to a limited amount of analysis because the customer is expected to incorporate them into a general codend selectivity model This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies.

Evaluation and improvement of shellfish dredge design and fishing effort in relation to technical conservation measures and environmental impact: ECODREDGE FAIR CT98-4465;
This file provides access to the reports produced during the ECODREDGE project. This project systematically examines the bivalve dredging process and its physiological and ecological consequences. The literature on ecology and population dynamics of the target species, dredge design and fisheries and the environmental effects of dredging and selectivity of dredging is reviewed. A programme of experimental work, both laboratory and field studies is described in scallop and clam dredge fisheries in European waters; scallop species (UK, France) Pecten maximus, Aequipecten opercularis, clam species (Italy; N. Adriatic) Chamelea gallina, clam species (Portugal) Spisula solida, Donax trunculus, Callista chione. Selectivity measures and dredge design are examined for their consequences in terms of environmental effects. Studies included physical, chemical and biological effects both at individual and community level, and selectivity of dredging. These studies include the use of instrumentation and modelling to describe physical effects and behavioural observations, stress and damage indices, both acute and chronic, to describe environmental effects.In the discussion measurement of environmental effects and selectivity are discussed along with the environmental effects of selectivity parameters, dredge designs and responses to fishing effort. The results are discussed in the context of dredge fishery management. - “(Keywords: scallop, clam, environmental impact, selectivity)”. -

Otterboard Performance and Behaviour
Purpose of this Manual The Sea Fish Industry Authority (U.K.), IFREMER (France) and DIFTA (Denmark) have collaborated on an EC funded project to assess the performance of a wide range of otterboards which are currently available to fishermen. This manual is based on the results of this project. It is intended for those actively involved in fishing, although much of it will interest persons active in the gear technology field. This manual has the following objectives:- To define terminology and explain the technical operation of otterboards. To provide information on the methods used and the results obtained during the otterboard tests. To provide information for calculating the equivalent sizes of different types of otterboard to give a trawl the same spread. To assist in solving common rigging faults and otterboard problems. To provide guidance on the possibilities of saving fuel. -

Exploratory Voyage for Blue Whiting, 'St. Benedict' April 1974
This report describes a charter voyage of the freezer trawler St. Benedict (Thomas Hamling, Hull) carried out by the White fish authority in March/April 1974 on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. The objectives of the voyage were to bring back a sufficient quantity of blue whiting, preserved to optimum standards, to facilitate development of processing machinery and methods for this species and to obtain trade reactions to it. To obtain a working knowledge of methods of detection and capture of this particular species and to carry out work programmes devised by the Marine Laboratories and Torry Research Station, related to fish population analysis and methods of preservation.

Work Measurement on Fish Processing Operations in Aberdeen
This project has been carried out at the request of the Aberdeen Fishcurers and Merchants’ Association in order to provide realistic labour costs of processing the principal species handled in the port of Aberdeen. The task has consisted of establishing the time taken for the most common production operations, or to use Work Study terminology, of “measuring the work content” of these operations. This Work measurement has thus provided a basis, independent of fluctuations in rate of pay, which can be used to calculate labour costs of such operations as hand and machine filleting. The data gathered can also be of value to firms for production planning as well as costs and it is proposed to make this information available to interested firms in the form of ready reference tables. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies. In cases where this affects the technical content, a paper copy of the original report can still be obtained from Seafish. -

Fish In Cook-Freeze System of Catering
This report is concerned with the development of fish dishes for the cook/freeze system of catering. The development work was carried out by the White fish Authority, in conjunction with the University of Leeds Catering Research Unit who were principally responsible for much of the original development of the cook/freeze system for institutional caterers. Twelve fish recipes, suitable for institutional catering, were modified or adapted to the system and some of them were subjected to acceptability tests in schools and hospitals. The results show that fish dishes, including fish which is coated in batter and fried, can be successfully incorporated in a cook/freeze catering system, with no impairment in quality or acceptability. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies. In cases where this affects the technical content, a paper copy of the original report can still be obtained from Seafish. -

Appraisal of Alfa-Lavel Centriflow Fish Liver Oil Plant
The objects of the projects were to assess the performance of the Alfa-Laval Centriflow fish liver oil plant in the production of fish oil from the discharge effluent of the vessel’s Shetland Type 28 gutting machine; and the production of a high quality liver oil from whole livers taken from hand gutted fish. During the time the plant was in operation aboard the stern trawler ‘MARBELLA’ it proved itself captable of producing a yield of fish oil from the gutting machine effluent of comparable proportion to the yield of fish liver oil from the same weight of whole fish processed traditionally.

'Plate Sized' Farmed Turbot in Five Restaurants at the 1976 Argyle Seafood Festival
Farmed turbot weighing approximately 500-550g each were served at five restaurants, during the Argyll Seafood Festival in early July 1976, and were also displayed wet at the gala at Crinan. The trial confirmed that this is the optimum size for serving farmed turbot as a plat-size single portion, as they were well received by the management of the restaurants, the chefs and customers alike. Larger fish, about 900g in weight and suitable for serving two portions, were not so well received, as they were not so easy to handle in the kitchen. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies. In cases where this affects the technical content, a paper copy of the original report can still be obtained from Seafish. -
