Taiwan Seafood Ethics Profile

Seafish commissioned a study to assess the ethical issues impacting on seafood species landed into, and imported to the UK from a wide range of countries. This Taiwan profile looks at the main seafood products; seafood exports to UK; employment in seafood; human trafficking and forced labour indicators and rankings and research reports; ratification of international human rights and labour instruments; fisheries policy and management structure/administration; control of IUU fishing and related labour abuse; measures to protect migrant fishers; partnerships and improvement projects; and an overall assessment or criteria for overall risk assessment for Taiwan.

FS47-04.10 April 2010 Anisakis in salmon

Anisakis is a marine parasitic worm (nematode) which is most commonly found in fresh water and anadromous fish, like wild salmon, which are born in fresh water, migrate to the ocean, then return to fresh water to reproduce. It is also common in certain small salt water fish, such as herrings and sardines. However, anisakis is rare in other salt water fish, such as tuna, swordfish and farm-raised salmon. This fact sheet details what anisakis is, symptoms of infection and incidences of anisakiasis.

Shellfish flesh waste in bait

Shell waste is a major problem with UK production of waste from calcareous shellfish (excluding Nephrops and shrimp) of around 75,000t/yr of which potentially ~20,000t is flesh. Although there are many theoretical options for the use of waste shell few are commercially viable, often due to the costs of separation and cleaning. Previous work has shown it is possible to separate the flesh from the shell and supply the ‘free of flesh shell’ for use in aggregates; however this leaves the problem of what to do with the fleshy material. The current “Proof of Concept” project has focused on the use of shellfish waste derived flesh waste in commercial bait. A comprehensive set of trials with bait sticks prepared from scallop (King & Queen), whelk, and crab waste demonstrated that the fleshy waste from shell is a suitable material for baits. Whelk and crab waste formed very good baits for lobster attraction and were comparable to standard baits for whelk attraction

FS42-12.09_Multi rig trawling - How it has developed

In the last 25 years multi rig trawling has been taken up by much of the UK fishing fleet. The development of multi-rig trawling has probably had as big an influence on the present day trawling industry as the change from sail power to steam and diesel power did many years ago. This fact sheet is the first in a series on multi rig trawling and looks at its history, and the methods being used today.
