The Possibilities of Labelling Fish by its Region of Origin

This report is a response to speculation shown in the industry regarding consumer reaction to the ability to identify fish by its area of origin within Britain, and whether, and to what degree, consumers would favour fish landed locally as opposed to non-local fish. SEAFISH commissioned a survey among a structured sample of principal shoppers, and this report presents statistics and resultant conclusions from this survey.

Time-Temperature Studies in the Distribution of Fresh Fish in Summer

This report describes a temperature survey of fresh fish between the coastal market and the retailer. Over 5,000 temperature measurements were made during the summer months which was an unusually hot summer. These measurements highlight the problem areas in temperature control throughout the distribution chain and shows that fresh fish however good it may be at the points of landing much of it is progressively downgraded or even ruined in quality by the time it reaches the consumer. 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

Utilising discards not destined for human consumption in bulk uses

Further to the Defra ‘Fishing for the Markets’ initiative, this study explores whether discards not destined for human consumption can be utilised by commercial outlets in the UK. The availability of commercial outlets for discards not used in the human food chain is a key factor in the development and success of a potential utilisation programme in the event of a total discard ban. The report provides an overview of the potential quantities of discards potentially available under a discard ban, options available for the bulk use of discards, their availability to the catching sector and associated issues. The project was funded by Defra, commissioned by Seafish and undertaken by Cefas.
