Fish & Chips in Foodservice (2017 Update)

Total seafood has continued to perform well in foodservice since 2015, despite the recent challenging economic and political climate. Servings of fish & chips as a meal have grown faster than both total foodservice and total seafood servings over both the long and short term.

Frozen Seafood in Multiple Retail 2017

Frozen seafood has been in decline since 2007, with frozen sauce and frozen seafood meals being the hardest hit, losing over -50% volume. Over the short term (52 wks. to 25th March 2017) many frozen segments remained in decline, but frozen batter, natural, fingers, dusted and sushi segments are back in growth.

There are other models covering the hatchery and nursery aspects. Technical pages containing a wealth of information and advice on cultivating cod can also be downloaded.

Complementary Benefits of Alternative Energy: Suitability of Offshore Wind Farms as Aquaculture Sites

The large scale growth in salmon production in the UK has resulted in most available near shore finfish sites being used up for finfish farming. The development of offshore sites or technology improvements alone hold the key for the sustained growth of the UK aquaculture industry. The offshore wind industry has been rapidly expanding in the UK and will occupy major amount of coastal offshore space when zoning plans are developed. The prospects for using the offshore wind farm areas for aquaculture production (finfish and other species) has the potential to open up new sites for finfish farming in the UK. This work examined the suitability of aquaculture in offshore wind farms from the point of view of all the stakeholders involved.

SIPF D123_Future Management of Brown Crab in UK and Ireland

This study (SIPF Project D123) looks at the merits of the various tools and systems used elsewhere to manage sectors involved with Brown Crab fisheries, such as; access restrictions, pot limitations, shellfish licences and permits, quotas and TACs, Minimum Landing Sizes and gear technology, and considers their utility in managing Brown Crab stocks in UK and Ireland.

A case study review of the potential impact of proposed CFP discard reform. Poseidon report to Seafish UK, 2013

The reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) introduces a landing obligation to eliminate discarding. The objective of this research, was to determine the potential economic implications of this discards ban on selected case study UK fleets through establishing a) how would the landing obligation affect fleet economic performance, b) at fleet level, and given current discards, what would the quota requirements amount to, and c) identify any ‘choke’ species that could limit operations of the fleet. The report highlights two key aspects of the landings obligation: the restricting effect of so-called “choke” species, and a lack of clarity surrounding the permitted flexibilities contained within the legislation. The results confirm what we already thought: much work remains to be done in order to ensure that we have a fishing fleet which operates sustainably, profitably and in line with the recently agreed landings obligation.
