Aquaculture Hyperbooks Halibut Cage on-growing economic model

These pages are a Microsoft Excel based economic modelling tool that will enable you to explore how the cage-based on-growing aspects of a halibut cultivation business may function. There are other models covering the hatchery, nursery, and onshore on-growing aspects. Technical pages containing a wealth of information and advice on cultivating halibut can also be downloaded.

2014 UK Seafood Processing Industry Report - Data Tables

The present workbook contains data tables and additional analysis supplementing the 2014 UK Seafood Processing Industry Report (PDF).

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.

Scallop Portion Size Study Report

In 2003 the Sea Fish Industry Authority (Seafish) in partnership with the scallop industry commissioned a study to investigate the weight of a scallop portion, in and out of home, in key European markets. The main purpose of the study was to establish some pertinent features of the distribution of the weight of a scallop portion in regions of heavy scallop consumption.

the Market Potential for Marine Finfish Species from British and Irish Aquaculture

Aquaculture is already playing a major part in supplying seafood into the European market - some 420,000 tonnes per annum out of a fleet landing total of c.6,700,000 tonnes, or 6-7% of the total by weight. If all the member states of the Federation of European Aquaculture Producers are included, the tonnage rises to some 1,000,000 tonnes per annum, with a total value of £1,984 million in 1999 - compared, for example, with a combined total first sale value of fisheries landings of some $452 million in the UK and Ireland.
