Economic analysis of UK vessels dredging for king scallops in ICES Area 7

Since 2012 there is a cap on the annual number of days at sea that 15m and over scallop vessels can dredge in ICES Area 7, as part of the Western Waters Management Regime (WWMR). In response to requests by industry and government, Seafish analysed the economic performance of UK vessels that dredge for king scallops in Area 7. The analysis uses fishing activity and economic data of UK vessels that landed any amount of king scallops from Area 7 during a calendar year from 2008 to 2015.

2012 Economic Survey of the UK Fishing Fleet - Key Features

The 2012 Economic Survey of the UK Fishing Fleet provides a detailed insight into the financial and operational performance of the fleet during 2012 and 2013. This is the eighth edition of this annual report this year adding sections on employment, GVA and debt repayment. It is also the first of these reports to incorporate infographics. The information presented in this publication is a comprehensive and accurate reflection of the financial performance of the UK fishing fleet and is used by a wide range of people across industry, government and academia. We hope that availability of accurate economic data and expert analysis of fleet performance will be used to enhance fisheries management and benefit the UK fleet in the long-run especially now as we move toward the Landings Obligation.

Aquaculture Hyperbooks Turbot On-growing Economic Model

These pages are a Microsoft Excel based economic modelling tool that will enable you to explore how the on-growing aspects of a turbot cultivation business may function. There is another model covering the hatchery aspects. Technical pages containing a wealth of information and advice on cultivating turbot can also be downloaded

Fuel Systems Testing - Determinations of the effect of (electro-) magnetic installations, a fuel additive and a lubricant additive on diesel fuel consumption

On 6th March 2008 representatives from SeaFISH and the University of Exeter met to discuss testing of fuel economy enhancement technologies at the CSM dynamometer test cell facility. These discussions resulted in an order for testing of various technologies to determine their effectiveness. The proposed technologies were varied in nature, ranging from the use of permanent and electromagnets installed on fuel lines to performance exhaust systems and engine lubricant conditioners. For each of these technologies, engine performance and fuel consumption tests were undertaken once without the technology deployed, then once with the technology installed. The results from the two tests were compared.

Final Report - The socio-economic impacts of increased seafood consumption in England

2016 Seafood Processing Industry Report

The 2016 Seafood Processing Industry Report presents accurate up-to-date economic data and commentary to serve, where appropriate, as an evidence base for business decisions, policy discussions, and further research. This report provides details on the structure and size of the industry such as regional distribution, size of firms, type of broad fish species processed, type of processing activity undertaken and financial performance.

Biodiesel test engine cell facility non technical report

This report details work carried out on the design and installation of an engine performance test facility located at the Holman’s Test Mine, operated by the Camborne School of Mines (CSM), an academic department of the University of Exeter. The work was commissioned by the Sea Fish Industry Authority (SeaFISH) with the aim of developing a facility to permit the testing of biofuels such as biodiesel and biofuel blends in marine diesel engines. Engine performance test cells of this nature are generally configured to test various engines, whereas for this project, the engine needed to be a constant with the fuel being the variable.

Scallop Dredge Selectivity_Contribution of tooth spacing, mesh and ring size; Part I West of Scotland sea trials

Currently most of the dredge fisheries for scallops (both the great or king scallop Pecten maximus and the queen scallop Aequipecten opercularis) are unregulated by technical measures prescribing design features of the dredge. Concern about the capture of undersized scallops resulted in the Seafish Scallop Working Group recommending that technical measures be introduced in dredges targeting Pecten in order to increase size selectivity. The purpose of this study was to assess the extent to which tooth spacing, mesh size and ring size could be used to effect size selection in dredges targeting Pecten.
