The aim of the study was to establish baseline conditions for the abundance and mean size of four species of interest (Pink seafans Eunicella verrucosa, dead men’s fingers Alcyonium digitatum, ross coral Pentapora fascialis and king scallop Pecten maximus) across Lyme Bay shortly after the implementation of four voluntary Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) inside which scallop dredging stopped in September 2006. The research undertaken was the initial stage of a proposed longer-term project to quantify the effectiveness of the reserves in the protection of the reef communities, to examine potential recovery rates in areas that had been exposed to scallop dredging, and to determine if there were fishery spill-over effects arising from increases in scallops within the areas protected from fishing. IPR for this report belongs to the University of Wales, Bangor.

Originally published in 1989 as an open learning module, this technical guide to the identification of fish and shellfish is now only available as a pdf file online. In 2008 Seafish developed and released a DVD guide to seafood identification. Both the pdf and the DVD complement the information on seafood species available on the Seafood Training Academy website (www.seafoodacademy.org) in the guide to seafood species gallery of the website. For a copy of the Seafood Identification DVD see the Seafish training materials pricelist.

This document provides a non-technical summary of fuel consumption tests on red diesel fuel additives, and comparison of these results with those from identical tests using red diesel alone. The test cycle used simulated a trawler operating a 20 hour 40 minute excursion from Newlyn and within this involved 3, 4 hour long trawl stages. This test cycle was established after discussion with local skippers from the Newlyn fleet and SeaFISH representatives. The tests were conducted at the Camborne School of Mines engine dynamometer test facility installed in the Holman’s Test Mine in Cornwall.
