A Report on the UK Herring Fisheries in the 1980s
The British herring fishery has declined dramatically since the early part of the century. The ban in 1977 was a result of indiscriminate overfishing by all fishing nations in the post war period. Now that the ban has been eased, the Common Fisheries Policy sets out the UK quota clearly and in this there are opportunities for development of a more stable UK herring fishery.

Investigation into Potential Fuel Savings by Using Auxiliary Sail on Existing Fishing Vessels
The rising cost of fuel which has amounted to almost 700% in the last decade has resulted in a revival of interest in sail power as a means of fishing boat propulsion. This study examines the theory of sail power and its relevance to the modern fishing vessel especially the trawler or trawler/seiner of under 24m in length. The high standards of stability now required for fishing vessels coupled with the hull form developments which have taken place since the advent of the diesel engine preclude the application of sail power to existing vessels. The study develops the formulae for the sail area which can be carried by the modern vessel whilst still remaining within the IMCO criteria and this is so negligible to be not worth the structural changes and expense.

Hall Test Research of Blue Whiting (1976 Catch)
A second series of Hall Tests were held in a further 3 locations (Bristol, Glasgow, Manchester) in July 1976 using Blue Whiting from the Hebridean and Shemara catches of spring 1976. Because the fish were landed chilled, the resulting fillets were considered to be of sufficient quality to allow them to be displayed raw. For each Hall Test approximately 200 housewives were shown raw fillets and then tasted two samples – one crumbed and pan fried, the other grilled. The order of presentation was rotated, and responses to the appearance (cooked and raw), flavour, texture, and colour were recorded.

Mackerel Research - Omnibus Survey of Housewives in March 1980
For the past four years, as part of its on-going programme of research into consumer and trade attitudes towards mackerel, the White Fish Authority has been commissioning quantitative research in the form of omnibus surveys in order to determine current usage of the species. The surveys were conducted in July 1976, September 1977, September 1978 and March 1980. This report deals with the fourth of these surveys, and its findings are compared with the findings obtained in 1977 and 1978. The survey differs from previous ones in that an additional question was asked to determine meal occasion and type of meal use.

Blue Whiting Processing Trials at Stornaway, Spring 1976 (draft only)
This report describes blue whiting processing trials carried out at Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides in the Spring of 1976. The exercise was a joint project between the Highland and Islands Development Board, Torry Research Station, and the White Fish Authority. The main objective was to test the feasibility of landing blue whiting in fresh condition at a port close to the fishing grounds, processing it for human consumption and supply processors and friers with frozen fillets for trial work and marketing.

Interviews with Fish Friers Selling Blue Whiting & Customers
This report, prepared on behalf of the White Fish Authority (WFA) by David Elliott & Associates, describes the reactions of five fish friers in Wigan, Peterborough and Chatteris (Cambridgeshire), and their customers to block filleted blue whiting. It is the third report covering interviews held with fish friers selling blue whiting, and their customers. The first two reports, issued as TR 137 and TR 146 in 1976, dealt with a situation where frozen block filleted blue whiting was supplied to members of the Executive Council of the National Federation of Fish Friers who had volunteered to sell the fish on the WFA’s behalf. Since these reports were issued, the WFA have continued to sell blue whiting on a low key, but regular and fully commercial basis to a number of outlets – some 30 friers have now tried the fish.

Over Winter Growth Pecten maximus in a Nursery Scallop
The concept of an overwinter nursery process for Pecten Maximus spat arose on sampling spat settlement in artificial collectors in 1975 (Ref 1). It was noticed that the major proportion of the collected stock was still small and fragile (mean size 8 – 9mm) about four months after the peak settlement in July. By this time (November/ December) the sea temperature had fallen from 12/13ºC at the end of October to 8/9ºC at the end of December, and eventually the temperature fell to 6ºC by the end of January. There was some evidence of cessation of growth and significant mortalities of the smaller scallop spat over this winter (see Ref 2). There was, therefore, the possibility of promoting growth and survival of these small spat, indoors, over the winter and perhaps thereby shortening the overall culture period for Pecten maximus.

Review of the Work Carried Out by WFA into Dover Sole Cultivation 1965-77
In January 1977, the Fisheries R & D Board (FRDB) received the report, from its Fish Farming Committee (FFC), reviewing the past and current programmes of the separate UK R & D organisations. In accepting the findings of this report, the FRDB noted that progress with Dover sole was the least advanced of these species under serious investigation. The White Fish Authority’s (WFA) plea for greater application of effort into overcoming nutritional problems with sole was also discussed.

An Analysis of the Hull Fish Industry in 1983
The report defines the state of the Hull Fish Industry in early 1983 showing little prospects exist for the catching sector but that the processing sector remains buoyant by its dependence on fish from all over the UK as well as imports. A geographical analysis shows that Hull and Humberside have all the locational advantages of retaining their position as the most important processing centre in Europe. -
A Survey of Current Research on the Selectivity of Fishing Gear
The selectivity of fishing gears has become an important issue in recent years as a consequence of greater awareness of the necessity to conserve fish stocks, and to take only those species and sizes of commercial value. This report summarises current research work in this field and the ‘state of the art’ of different selectivity investigations. Research is being carried out by several international research organisations and among the leading authorities are the DAFS Aberdeen Laboratory and MAFF’s Lowestoft Laboratory.

Development of a Breaded Seafood Product - Seafood Platter
This is the second in a series of reports covering product development and marketing work carried out by the White Fish Authority as part of its overall programme for expanding the market for under-utilised shellfish species. The work was carried out under a joint contract by a well known shellfish processing company in order to develop a range of sophisticated and up-market products based on cockles and mussels. A wide range of products was developed, a small number of which were extensively researched and consumer tested, and this report is concerned with the first of these products, a frozen breaded mixture of various shellfish and pieces of white fish called “Seafood Platter”. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies.

Market Test of a Range of Pacific Oyster Products
Six frozen Pacific oyster products, the most promising of those developed in earlier White Fish Authority trials, were test marketed in two stages in 1974 and 1975 under the brand name, Oyster Bay. It was unfortunate that the timing of the campaign, although logical in the progression of the project, coincided with the onset and early stages of the economic depression, as one of the main reasons put forward for lack of interest by the caterers was that of price. Perhaps the major reason for the disappointing level of acceptability, however, was the overall lack of familiarity with cooked oyster products although it was encouraging to note the response to the products when this was overcome. It was also encouraging to record that fresh oysters in the shell are regarded favourably and until the quantity of UK-grown Pacific oysters increase substantially to bring production costs down in order that the processed products become economically viable, the White Fish Authority recommend that growers concentrate their efforts into stimulating demand for Pacific oysters sold in the shell in local restaurants and hotel, particularly during the holiday season.

Conversion of Side Trawlers to Double Beam Trawlers
British United Trawlers (BUT) Grimsby have requested the Industrial Development Unit, White fish Authority, to conduct a preliminary study into the feasibility of converting a number of their existing middle water side trawlers, which are laid up at present, to double beam trawl operation for high value flat fish. It was suggested the ‘ROSS JUNO’ should be used as the basis ship for the purpose of this study. The results, however, are applicable in general to other similar vessels in the BUT fleet. The most important consideration in the conversion of a side trawler to beam trawling is the effect of the external loads on stability of the vessel. These loads which in themselves may be small are applied at a large distance from the vessels centre of gravity and can result in large applied moments of force.

Commercial Development of Marine Fish Farming - Dover Sole
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 and 2).

Over Wintering of Crassostrea gigas Seed at 8 Locations in the UK
Pacific oyster seed of three size ranges were held in the sea over the winter of 1973/74 at eight locations around the UK. Survival and growth rates at each site were monitored at near monthly intervals. Survival of the smallest size (1.5 to 2.5mm) exceeded 75% at only two locations, both warmer than the other six, and fell below 30% at three locations. Surprisingly the two warmer locations produced poorer results with the medium sized seed (5 to 6mm), with survivals of 25 and 45%, compared to 30 to 50% at the cooler sites. Survivals with the large seed (10 to 12mm) at one warm and one cooler site were 86 and 80% respectively. Significant growth was recorded at only the two warmer locations, being about a 50 fold increase in weight in the heated water at Hinkley Generating Station and 5 to 7 fold at Guernsey. At the other sites growth did not exceed 85% and was zero for several. Until the reasons for the variability in survival of the smaller sizes of seed have been determined, commercial growers are advised to exercise great care if they attempt to overwinter in the sea seed of less than 10mm in size.

A Study to Forecast the Commercial Costs of Farming Turbot and Dover Sole
The 1975 equivalent report (Technical Report 130) was based on research results obtained from the White Fish Authority’s (WFA) and the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food fish cultivation programmes. At that time, because, of course, industry’s involvement was not at the commercial stage, several of the important costing parameters had to be taken from fresh water trout farming. Predictions, however, were that such schemes were viable. Since 1975 the WFA’s Research and Development Programme has largely been directed to confirming the predictions and to establishing commercially appropriate costs. During the period, commercial participation has become more active, particularly with turbot.

Fish Portion Sizes - Blue Whiting & Chip Shop Interviews
In the absence of any up to date statistics regarding portion sizes of fish fillets sold in fish and chip shops, the White Fish Authority commissioned a national survey to interview fish friers. 734 fish friers were contacted by telephone during August, 1977, to determine the average portion size of their main selling species. In addition, they were asked questions about skin-on and skin-off fillets, purchases of wet and/or frozen fish, whether they had heard of Blue Whiting and whether they would consider selling it. The specific use of the research was to locate shops selling small portions of frozen, skin-on fish. Following are the results of the research expressed in terms of national finding with various regional distinctions highlighted when significant.

Scallop Overgrowing Depth Trial 1979/1982
The scallops. Pecten maximus (L) and Chlamys opercularis (L) were on grown at four levels in the water column to establish the optimum depth for growth and meat yield. This report gives final data for trials set up using spat collected in 1978. There appeared to be no depth related mortality pattern after the initial stages of cultivation. For optimum growth and meat yield, it is suggested that Pecten should be maintained below 4.5m initially, and then brought nearer the surface as they increase in size. Chlamys can be grown at shallower depths throughout the culture process, but the increase in growth and meat yield was not as great.

Hall Test Research on Blue Whiting
A series of Hall Tests were held in 3 locations (Greater London, Leeds and Walsall) in February/March 1976 using Blue Whiting caught by the MAFF freezer trawler Artic Privateer in 1975. Although it was an exploratory voyage, the fish were caught under commercial conditions and did not represent the pride of an outstanding catch. The fish reflected simply the best quality obtainable from an average catch at that time of the year. For each Hall Test approximately 200 housewives were served samples of hand filleted Blue Whiting crumbed and pan fried and grilled the order of presentation was rotated, and responses to the appearance, flavour and texture of the fish were recorded. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies.

Blue Whiting Processing Trials Stornaway 1977
The almost universal adoption of 200 mile fishing limits has resulted, to a large extent, in the exclusion of our distant water fishing fleet from their usual fishing grounds, and consequently in a shortage of traditionally acceptable fish such as cod and haddock. This shortage has caused a predictable series of price increases, and shown a need to exploit non-traditional species such as blue whiting, which can be caught in large quantities around our own coast and within the EEC controlled fishing areas. Blue Whiting (Micromesistius poutassau) is a small white fish, a member of the cod family, which congregates in large quantities to the north west of the UK during its springtime spawning season. Throughout the remainder of the year the blue whiting stock disperses throughout the north Atlantic. Estimates of the stock vary between 8 and 12 million tonnes, of which 2 million tonnes could be harvested annually without damaging the stock. Despite increasing fishing activity by foreign vessels, fishing mainly for fishmeal, the stock still remains virtually unexploited.

Scallop Spat Collection Trials 1981/1982.
The objectives of the 1981 and 1982 spat collection trials were to obtain further information on the type and deployment of collectors in order to maximise their efficiency. Peak settlement in 1981 occurred in early July for Pecten and Chlamys, with a maximum average yield of 605 and 649 spat per collector respectively. In 1982, the peak of settlement occurred in late June, possibly before the bulk of the collectors were placed in the sea and the maximum yield for Pecten and Chlamys per collector was 451 and 185 respectively. Initial trials using different collector materials were carried out to establish the most cost effective type of bag and filler. These trials will continue.

Degritting of King Scallops
Dredged scallops are known to contain ‘grit’ in the form of sand, silt, mud or broken shell. Although washed out in processing, this contamination limits the marketability of these scallops as a ‘live’ product and detracts from their value in comparison with scallops landed by divers. The initial part of this work has confirmed the considerable extent of grit contamination of commercially harvested scallops and that it is effectively removed in the production of a processed product by shucking and washing the meat, but it has also shown that the eating quality of ‘gritty’ scallops deteriorates rapidly if held unprocessed in the shell.

Seafish briefing - Organisations addressing labour issues in the fishing and aquaculture sector. April 2016.
Since approximately 2006, various concerns regarding abuses of workers engaged in the seafood industry have steadily attracted more attention, from the media and civil society advocacy groups. The main concern has been reports of coercive treatment of certain categories of both sea and land-based workers, through abusive labour and recruitment practices variously referred to as slavery or slavery-like practices, forced and bonded labour, human trafficking, as well as serious forms of child labour. This has led to more monitoring, and a wide range of governmental, inter-governmental and NGO initiatives to address the concerns. There have been a number of studies into the scale of the issue but further study is required in order to determine the international scale of human rights and labour abuses in the seafood industry. This briefing note: details some of the key reviews that have looked at the scale of labour issues in the fishing and seafood sectors; and lists the organisations addressing labour rights in the fishing sector. This document was originally produced in March 2015 and was updated in April 2016. -

Working towards better water quality in partnership with aquaculture
Shellfish harvesting areas are classified as ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ depending on the level of E.coli found in the shellfish. Category ‘A’ production areas can go straight to market without any treatment. Shellfish from category ‘B’ harvesting areas need to be Depurated or relayed. Category ‘C’ shellfish have to be heat treated. This paper shows the elevation of E.coli associated with cattle having access to water courses. Remedial action by restricting assess by adequate fencing and control of these animals reduces the microbial burden on shellfish production areas.

Further investigations into selectivity and separator trawls
This report describes the most recent in a series of trials investigating the selectivity performance of separator trawls. The twin warp nets were deployed simultaneously on a twin rig trawler in the Moray Firth over a two week period. Four different cod end mesh sizes were used in a number of combinations. The catch from each of the four cod ends were identified and measured. The catch data were analysed to determine the extent of vertical separation for each species and the size selectivity of each codend. Good separation was found and some useful observations made as to the influence of fish size on separation and cod end position on selectivity. 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. -
Line Ripping Trials with Automated Equipment (Jigging)
Ripping (or Jigging) is the fishing method in which a weighted line with a number of hooks is lowered into a shoal of feeding fish. The hooks are disguised with colouired lures to attract the fish and the line is moved rapidly up and down. This has traditionally been a handline fishery, but new equipment from Scandinavia has now fully automated the process at very reasonable cost. 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. -
