Ireland’s aquaculture industry – reasons for optimism

he aquaculture industry in Ireland continues to make significant progress: BIM’s Aquaculture Report 2019 indicates that the overall production value of Irish aquaculture has seen a net gain from under €100 million in 2009 to €180 million in 2018. This value growth was made possible by steady increases in the unit value of product driven by a growing recognition of Irish product quality and provenance through the achievement of international certifications such as MSC, and Organic Labels. In 2018 the industry produced approximately 37,000 tonnes of high value seafood.

Independent Aquaculture Licensing Review Group

a complex licensing system in a transparent, environmentally appropriate and legally robust manner. Since receiving the Review Group’s report, DAFM has engaged in detailed consideration of its recommendations with a view to their implementation, having regard to the legislative, environmental, technical and public interest issues that arise. DAFM has also engaged closely with industry representatives and relevant State Agencies. The core reason for the Licensing Review Group was the need to address in a focused manner the aquaculture licensing backlog. In response, DAFM put in place a two-year programme to eliminate the backlog of shellfish licence applications. This programme envisaged the achievement of 300 licence

determinations in both 2018 and 2019. In fact, 305 licence determinations were achieved in 2018, and 324 licence determinations were achieved in 2019 (see graph).The Appropriate Assessments started to become available from 2011 which resulted in an increase in licence determinations under the new Appropriate Assessment-based system from 2012. Approximately 1,200 licence determinations have been made since 2012.

Aquaculture Industry ‘Game Changer’

The elimination of the shellfish licensing backlog is a game changer for the aquaculture industry, and provides the solid footing long demanded by its representatives. It also means that the shellfish

industry is now operating in full compliance with the EU Birds and Habitats Directives. In addition, DAFM has already commenced measures to reduce the finfish backlog, and these will intensify significantly during 2020. The seafood sector provides employment for over 14,000 around the Irish coast. In addition to the financial, economic and employment returns that the seafood sector provides for these communities, it also returns an important social dividend, and is, in many cases at the heart of the community. There are many reasons to be optimistic for the future of Ireland’s aquaculture industry, and DAFM wish all operators continued success as they continue to produce high quality Irish seafood.

An important development in recent years was the publication in May 2017 of the report of the Independent Aquaculture Licensing Review Group. The Review, which the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) commissioned, was a detailed examination of the existing aquaculture licensing process. The Review Group undertook comprehensive stakeholder consultation and looked at comparative national and international consent systems to determine best practice for managing 4

The best of times and the worst of times Donal Maguire, Director of Seafood Technical Services, BIM

s I sat down to write this piece for Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland 2020, I was looking out over DĂşn Laoghaire Harbour and I had a number of things on my mind. Firstly, I wanted to tell the many people I know who work in the sector in Ireland that I will retire from BIM in mid-July, after nearly twenty-four challenging and exciting years in the aquaculture hot seat. The second thing I was thinking about, rather

whimsically I must admit, was how much the face of the industry had changed since I started fish farming thirty-eight years ago, back in the mists of time in far distant 1982. I was lucky enough to be taken on by Curraun Fisheries Ltd, in beautiful Co Mayo as a green young biologist eager to change the world for the better by farming fish in the ocean â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a mad and unheard-of concept in those days. There have been many, many twists in the road since then!

These rather selfindulgent reflections were blown right out of the water by what happened next. Covid-19 and the Global Pandemic burst upon us, and like a surging tsunami it drove all before it. So now I am sitting at my dining room table in Wicklow with a heavier heart than when I started, trying to finish this piece, because more than just the view has changed for aquaculture in Ireland.

Market Lockdown I feel desperately sorry for those hardy and resourceful folks who have broken their backs for decades, building up their mussel and oyster farming enterprises, only to see the markets for their excellent products just disappear overnight. There was something of a nightmarish quality to the way things unfolded. The sheer speed at which events occurred was bewildering and nobody,

Naturellement…

Environmental sustainable Safe The choice to establish production sites of best quality waters, away from major production areas as well as the geographic distribution of its 9 sites between the Channel, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea, allows Satmar to modulate and secure its production. The complementarity of Gatteville and Leucate hatcheries, located at more than 1000 km from each other, guarantees the safety of the product in case of any incident.

Satmar activity consists in the hatch and raise mainly of oysters, but also of clams. Satmar produces diploids and triploids oysters (GTS or by crossbreed), Japanese clams, in spats, pregrowing, and half-grown. The entreprise has 9 sites on the French coastline, selected for the quality of their waters: Gatteville-Phare, Lestre, Chausey on the Channel; Landéda, Ile-Tudy, Bouin, Saint-Philibert, Saint-Just-Luzac on the Atlantic Ocean; Leucate on the Mediterranean Sea.

Satmar is willing to preserve the essence of its products and to protect the biological balance of its production sites; therefore Satmar developed a production method without any antibiotics. This process is based on a sustainable production, less intensive than most hatcheries and on the geographic distribution of production sites. Satmar sites on Gatteville-Phare and Saint-Just-Luzac are certified AB Biological Agriculture.

no matter how forward thinking they were, could have anticipated the scale of this unprecedented crisis. Now, I know this dreadful virus kills people, and I fully accept that public health must be given its proper priority, but to see Asia, followed by the whole of Europe, plunged into lockdown and with that, virtually all of the markets for Irish oysters and mussels turned off like a light switch, was truly awful. To see years and years of hard work and dogged perseverance, the hallmark of the fish farmer, placed in jeopardy by an unknown and unknowing microbe must be very hard to deal with indeed. On behalf of my colleagues in BIM, I would like to extend our best wishes to all those so badly affected by this rogue virus. It is a desperately worrying time as there is no previous experience to fall back on, something, which makes the current situation even scarier. However, as the wise man said, ‘this too shall pass’ and there will come an end to this horrible episode. And if there is one thing I have come to learn after my years in BIM, it is that Ireland’s fish farmers are amongst the most resilient people in the world. Each part of the industry has faced its own existential threats in the past: diseases; plankton blooms; biotoxins; trade wars and many other scourges have whipped the sector, but it has always come through. 8

Weathering The Storm I have no doubt that Ireland’s oyster and mussel farmers will weather this storm and, bloodied but unbowed, they will carry on. After all, people will always have to eat, and the growing global demand for seafood will reassert

and hotels, even with social distancing, Irish shellfish will be needed in large volumes. I just hope that the financial and psychological trauma endured in the meantime is not too great, and that Irish shellfish farmers will be able to look back at 2020 in a little while and think of it as a bad year, but not a fatal one for

the happier and more humorous piece, I had in mind before this all kicked off, perhaps in next year’s edition. There are so many unlikely events, extraordinary people to remember and hilarious events to recall that I wanted to share and call to mind, but now was not the time for that I am sorry to say.

‘I feel desperately sorry for those hardy and resourceful folks who have broken their backs for decades, building up their mussel and oyster farming enterprises, only to see the markets for their excellent products just disappear overnight’. itself with renewed vigor as economies around the world reopen and trade starts to flow again. The basic proposition upon which our industry is based remains sound, if only we can see our way through the current crisis. From where I sit, an admittedly privileged position, tracking and reporting on the progress of this situation, I can see the beginnings of a recovery starting to take shape. Tiny green shoots of fresh demand are showing themselves in the Far East once again. As France, Spain and Italy begin to reopen their cafés, restaurants

their businesses. In fact, I hope that Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland will give me the opportunity to write

So, let us plan for the worst, hope for the best and remember the old saying, ‘we never died a winter yet!’

Donal Maguire will retire this Summer as Director of Seafood Services at BIM. He has agreed to join the editorial board of Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland which will benefit greatly from his knowledge and experience of the seafood sector. Throughout the many years he supported Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland Donal provided an enormous amount of help and expert advice. And on a personal note, he was always deeply committed to the growth and development of the Irish aquaculture and seafood sector. We look forward to working with Donal in the years ahead.

Navigating Change – Bord Bia’s Response Plan to Covid-19 and services for the Irish seafood sector Karen Devereux, Seafood sector manager, Bord Bia

n response to the unprecedented challenges posed by Covid-19 to the Irish food and drinks industry, Bord Bia’s teams have been helping the Irish seafood sector to mitigate the impact and navigate change in the immediate term and in the months ahead. In March, Bord Bia introduced its Navigating Change response plan to COVID-19, designed to bring the most relevant and useful insights and services to its client companies. Navigating Change seeks to ensure that the insights and the services available to the Irish food and drinks industry are useful in the here and now where business continuity is top of everyone’s mind - and in the future, as businesses respond to the evolving environment, and recover and reset, ready to compete in a new and different post Covid-19 world. A key pillar of the Navigating Change strategic response is understanding the impact and implications of the Covid-19 pandemic for the Irish food and drinks industry. Bord Bia is drawing on the organisation’s research capabilities through its Thinking House and on the global perspective its international footprint gives it to gather the market 10

Covid-19 Coronavirus and sectoral intelligence that informs its evolving response, and that of its client companies who are navigating change on an unprecedented scale. This work allows Bord Bia to provide clients with exclusive access to a range of insights including biweekly research reports and a daily podcast to keep them abreast of the latest industry-specific news, issues and trends.

The Thinking House

This research and insights gathering work will be particularly important as the industry emerges from the Covid-19 crisis. Bord Bia’s overseas offices are located in countries that are at different points along the pandemic ‘curve’. These international perspectives help Bord Bia understand what recovering and

resetting may look like, and allows the organisation to plan ahead for a changed landscape. These reports are available and updated every Tuesday and Friday on Bord Bia’s Covid-19 Navigating Change Hub on www.bordbia.ie/ covid Bord Bia continues to provide a series of Food Alerts with insight from around the world and from its teams. It also runs a daily podcast series which has been positively received by the Irish seafood sector. Some podcasts have looked at the recovery of the Chinese market; the lifting of restrictions in the French market; and the impact Covid-19 has had on the Middle Eastern market. The video podcasts leverage insights from Bord Bia’s network of 15 international

offices to look closer at what’s happening in each market and how it is coping with market disruption and supply chain demands during the pandemic. It also draws on the wealth of consumer insights and data Bord Bia has from experts within its Insights Centre, Bord Bia’s Thinking House. To address the specific challenges facing Irish food and drinks companies and assist businesses during this difficult economic period, Bord Bia is also offering a suite of bespoke supports informed by its extensive industry knowledge and global insight. As countries move through the Covid-19 crisis, each at different point on the pandemic curve, new obstacles will emerge, as will new opportunities and ambitions. Bord Bia

Diver Training Bord Iascaigh Mhara now provide commercial diver training courses based on international best practice at the National Fisheries & Diving College, Castletownbere Co. Cork. Divers working in Ireland are required to have appropriate training. Depending on the work they do, they must have either a Commercial Scuba or a Surface Supplied Diving qualification. For most commercial diving, the preferred method is Surface Supplied Diving (SSD), which provides greater protection for the diver, unlimited air supply, and a fully independent back-up supply. Divers with this qualification can work on all aquaculture sites as well as inshore civil engineering projects. To work in the offshore oil, gas and renewables sectors, a further top-up programme is required. The SSD course duration is four weeks full time and on successful completion candidates will receive a QQI Level 6 Certificate: Surface Supplied Diving (Inshore). The Commercial Scuba course is a prerequisite for SSD. Students learn how to use scuba equipment and simple communication systems in a commercial setting. Divers learn how to work underwater in a range of environments and how to use core tools underwater. The Commercial Scuba course is five weeks long and on completion candidates receive a QQI Level 6 Certificate: Commercial Scuba Diver. Both qualifications are recognised by the HSE UK ensuring international validity and employability.

Fish Labelling – what information must be on fish labels and what does it all mean? Clodagh Crehan, Senior Technical Executive Regulatory Affairs, Food Safety Authority of Ireland any way. It is interesting to look at a range of food labels to see how consumers could be misled through pictures, graphics or even the way the information is presented.

repacked fish sold to consumers must be labelled with specific information. With so much to choose from in terms of fish varieties and the presentation provided by the retailer, food labels serve to provide consumers with information to help them make an informed choice.

The mandatory information on pre-packed fish under these rules, includes: the name of the food; a list of the ingredients that went into making the final product; allergens highlighted in the list of ingredients in such a way that they can be easily identified by the consumer; a weight declaration; a date up to when the food may be consumed, and this may be either a ‘use-by’ date or a ‘best before’ date.

The ‘use-by’ date would be declared on chilled fish products which are intended to be eaten within a short period of time. On the other hand, frozen fish would have a ‘best before’ declaration. The label will also provide instructions on storing the fish after purchasing it; how to cook it and the name and address of the food business responsible for the food manufacturer, distributor or a retailer. This allows consumers to make contact with the business should they have any questions or issues about the fish they bought.

Nutrition Table

Another piece of information that is required on the label is the nutrition table which provides consumers with the nutritional make-up of the fish product. This information provides the amount of calories, fat, carbohydrate, protein and salt in the food. And while this information must be given per 100g, it is also usually provided based on portion size. The likes of a breaded fish fillet would obviously have a totally different nutrition makeup to fish sold in a creamy sauce. Many fish labels may also provide additional voluntary

General Food Labelling Information

Food labelling or as it’s more recently known, food information to consumers is controlled by a European regulation (EC) 1169/2011 which sets down the mandatory information that must appear on food labels. This information must be clear, concise, and must not mislead the consumer in 14

information by way of a ‘claim’. It may be either a nutrition claim highlighting the nutritional properties of a food such as ‘rich in omega-3 fatty acids’(EPA or DHA) or a health claim highlighting a relationship between the food and health e.g. ‘EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart’. To be able to use such claims on a food label, food businesses must comply with another specific EU regulation (EC) 1924/2006. The European Commission maintains a register of all of the health claims permitted for use on food labels and their conditions of use. If the health claim is not authorised, it may not be used on any food label. Nutrition claims are a little simpler, the specific legislation lists the only

permitted nutrition claims and again, their definitions and conditions of use. Typical nutrition claims include ’high protein’ and ‘low fat’.

Specific Fish Labelling Information

In addition to the general labelling information and possible claims, fish labels must also comply with what’s known as the CMO rules (Common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products). This applies to fresh, chilled, frozen fish, brined or smoked fish, crustaceans and molluscs amongst others. These rules require the following additional information to be made

available to consumers on pre-packed fish labels: • Commercial and scientific name of the species: The commercial designation for salmon, for example, is ‘Atlantic Salmon’ and the scientific name is Salmo salar. Both names must be declared on the fish label. • Production method: This refers to whether the fish was caught or farmed and must be declared using the terms “…caught…” or “…caught in freshwater…” or “… farmed…”. Where mixed batches of the same species with different production methods are sold in the one unit, the production method for each batch must be declared on the label.

• The category of fishing gear used: There are many different types of fishing gear permitted for use, and this must be declared on the label as consumer information. Examples include hook and lines, trawls, gillnets and other similar nets. • Whether the product has been defrosted: Consumers must be made aware of this information.

• The area where the product was caught or farmed: The specific area in which the fish was either caught or farmed must also be provided:

What About Fish Sold Loose in Shops?

The only mandatory information under the general labelling rules that must be provided for fish sold loose is the allergen information. Consumers must be able to identify the allergens contained. However, the specific fish labelling rules apply in full to fish sold loose, and so this information as per the CMO rules described above should be made available to consumers using billboards, posters or whiteboards or other means.

SAFE SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD The Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA) is the independent statutory body, legally charged with the Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sea-fisheries law enforcement functions. The Authority enforces the EU Common Fisheries Policy and seafisheries law generally and food safety law relating to fish and fishery products.

The SFPA is strongly committed to playing its part in ensuring a strong future for the Irish fishing industry, working in consultation with all stakeholders. Ireland has a safe, innovative fishing industry that is recognised and respected worldwide, while its fish products are acknowledged globally as healthy and nutritious foods. Robust confidence in an effective regulatory service plays a key role in maintaining that reputation and in ensuring fair and sustainable usage of a shared marine resource for which many compete. Good regulation is required to protect it and ensure fish for future generations as well as ensuring consumers worldwide can enjoy Irish seafood safely.

MAJOR NEW FOOD LEGISLATION INTRODUCED

Official Controls Regulation 625/2017 Aileen O’Sullivan, Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority

he publication in December of Regulation 625/2017 (OCR 625) was the most significant development in EU food legislation since the “Hygiene Package” in 2000, which saw a major overhaul of EU food law. This new piece of food legislation applies to official controls and other official activities performed to ensure the application of food and feed law, rules on animal health and welfare, plant health and plant protection products. It comprises a comprehensive framework setting down new rules on official controls and other official control activities, replacing Regulations 854/2004 and 882/2004. Further detailed rules on official controls in specific areas are set down in Tertiary legislation in the

Risk-based

form of Implementing and Delegated Acts (five in total).

including processing and distribution.

The new OCR has implications for the Competent Authorities in Ireland charged with enforcing the Regulations as well as for Food Business Operators across the whole food chain. The Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA) is responsible for the implementation and enforcement of national and EU legislation that deals with health conditions for the production and placing on the market of fish, shellfish and fisheries products through a service contract with the Food Safety Authority of Ireland.

While OCR 625 has a number of key features, the most important change is a considerable expansion of the scope of the Official Controls Regulation. Previously, only food and feed law were covered. Now, almost the entire agrifood sector is included as the new Regulation covers official controls to verify compliance with food and feed law, animal health and welfare, plant health and animal by-products rules.

In the aquaculture sector, the SFPA carries out official controls in classified production areas and along the chain

The extension of the scope to also cover plant health and animal by-products introduces a more harmonised and coherent approach to official controls and relevant enforcement actions along the entire agri-food chain.

controls The risk-based approach to official controls by Competent Authorities is maintained. A new provision clarifies that they must be performed in a manner that minimises the administrative burden on businesses. When planning official controls, Competent Authorities must take account of the location of the food establishment, the Food Business Operator’s past record of compliance and the reliability of operator’s own checks.

The need to eliminate food fraud, which has become more prevalent in recent years, is also recognised in OCR 625. When planning risk-based official controls, Competent Authorities must now take into account the likelihood of fraudulent and deceptive behaviours when

There are two new key requirements in the aquaculture sector: (1) Sanitary Surveys

Competent Authorities must carry out a sanitary survey in all classified production areas, unless previously carried out. The SFPA has a comprehensive programme in place for conducting such sanitary surveys.

(2) Decisions After Monitoring Classified Production Areas

deciding the appropriate frequency of controls. To deter fraudulent behaviours and foster fair competition among food business, the Regulation also introduces more stringent rules for financial penalties imposed by Member States.

Operators must also ensure that Competent Authorities are provided with updated details with regards to their business and their activities including those undertaken by means of distance communication (i.e. through the internet).

In addition, new provisions enhance the transparency of official controls and increase Competent Authoritiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; accountability to consumers and Food Business Operators. Under the new Regulation, there is an increased focus on unannounced inspections by the Inspectorate on Food Business Operators. Competent Authorities will have to charge Food Business Operators mandatory fees for certain official control activities. These fees have not yet been introduced in Ireland.

There are new provisions too around official controls of animals and goods offered for sale by means of distance communication. These include increased powers when taking samples of such goods by Competent Authorities.

OCR 625 reiterates the obligations of Food Business Operators during official controls to assist and co-operate with staff of the Competent Authority. More specifically, it states that Food Business Operators must give access to equipment, means of transport, premises, computers, documents and animals and goods under their control. Food Business

The new Regulation also introduces a set of general rules in order to create a uniform and harmonised framework for official certification across Member States. Furthermore, Commission Implementing Regulation 627/2019 lays down uniform practical arrangements for the performance of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption. This Implementing Act is of relevance to the aquaculture sector as it sets down specific requirements concerning Live Bivalve Molluscs from Classified Production and Relaying Areas.

Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland

When the results of microbiological monitoring (E. coli) show that the standards for Live Bivalve Molluscs are not met, Competent Authorities (i.e. the SFPA in the case of Ireland) may, on the basis of risk assessment and only on a temporary and non-recurring basis, permit continued harvesting without closure or reclassification subject to certain conditions. The classified production area concerned and all approved establishments receiving live bivalve molluscs must be under the same Competent Authority. The live bivalves concerned must be subjected to appropriate restrictive measures such as purification, relaying and/or processing. In addition, the accompanying registration document must include additional information to reflect these applicable conditions. The Statutory Instrument in Ireland transposing the new OCR Regulation is European Union (Food and Feed Hygiene) Regulations 2020, S.I. No. 22 of 2020.

he installation of a new state-ofthe-art freshwater Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) at the Marine Institute Catchment Research Facility, Newport, Co Mayo, has improved existing fish rearing facilities and also supports a range of funded research projects that address the needs of Ireland’s aquaculture sector. By linking up with the Lehanagh Pool Marine Research site at Beirtreach Buí Bay near Cárna, Co Galway, the Marine Institute now has the capacity to perform multidisciplinary research on both the freshwater and marine phases of Atlantic salmon production. The RAS consists of eight 5.5m3

tanks with a capacity of 44,000 litres and capable of producing up to 12,000 Atlantic salmon presmolts. RAS is a proven technology increasingly employed in the freshwater

phase of Atlantic salmon production. The system enables the fish farmer to completely control parameters such as water temperature, oxygen levels, light, providing

more stable and optimal conditions for the fish. Potential advantages include reduced stress and thus better welfare and more optimal growth. The new RAS at the Newport

Research Facility was designed in conjunction with the Danish Centre for Wild Salmon (Danmarks Center for Vildlaks), who have been working with wild Atlantic salmon restocking and recirculation systems since 2000.

Two Projects

The RAS is utilised currently in two major research projects: SALMSON smolt is a fouryear project investigating the potential of RAS technology to produce larger Atlantic salmon presmolts than conventional flow-through systems. The aim is to produce smolts that are more robust and also reduce the grow-out time at sea to one year. The SALMSON Project is funded under the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund Knowledge Gateway Programme, and is administered by Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM). HYDRO-fish investigates the production of highquality bioactive products from fisheries bycatch as a feed additive to boost the salmon immune system. The RAS will be utilised to grow the salmon smolts, fed protein hydrolysates, and monitored for improved performance.

As well as adding to the range of freshwater salmon fish rearing facilities already in operation at the Newport Research Facility, the installation of the RAS will contribute to achieving the goals set out in Ireland’s National Marine Research & Innovation Strategy 2017 - 2021 and Food Harvest 2020. The Marine Institute’s Newport Research Facility

and the Lehanagh Pool Marine Research Site will provide an opportunity for collaboration on a variety of potential research projects and form an integral component of a marine research cluster involving third-level institutes, BIM, Údarás na Gaeltachta and the aquaculture industry. Building on existing EU-funded projects, these facilities will be used to leverage funding and further develop collaborations with BIM through the new European Maritime Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF).

The Aquaculture Toolbox provides information and guidance to support the planning and licensing of aquaculture in Europe. It can be used by planners to guide the sustainable development of the aquaculture industry in European nations. License applicants in the industry will benefit from modelling tools and guidance that will support their licensing application and guide them in developing their activities to operate within environmental boundaries.

Loughs Agency uses evidence-based fishery management techniques to sustain oyster beds

ough Foyle has one of the last remaining native oyster fisheries in Europe and sustains a commercial fishery on a seasonal basis. It is nationally and internationally important. The earliest documented reference to oyster fishing in Lough Foyle is in 1832 government papers when a closed season, minimum landing size and coastguard were introduced. The oyster beds in Lough Foyle likely suffered from the same overfishing in the late 19th century that was widespread throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland. The huge demand for oysters as a plentiful and cheap foodstuff helped fuel the working classes during the Industrial Revolution. There is little evidence of any significant fishery taking place in Lough Foyle for much of the 20th century, and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until the 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that fishing effort increased to current levels with over 100 vessels.

Oyster Boats Fishing

the almost 100% removal of market-sized oysters each season. There was a general consensus amongst stakeholders at this time that regulation and control of the fishery was imperative for its survival. Loughs Agency introduced regulations to the fishery in 2008 following significant public consultation. This included prescribing a

defined season; a licence fee; restrictive vessel licensing; limits on daily fishing effort to a maximum of 12 hours per day; a minimum landing size; and limits on the number and size of dredges that can be used. The regulations also provided Loughs Agency with the ability to suspend fishing activity for a set period in the interests of stocks conservation.

Fishery protection efforts were significant in the fishery during the period immediately after the introduction of regulations which were rigidly enforced. An annual scientific monitoring programme was developed in tandem with the implementation of regulations on the fishery to help develop the evidence base needed to ensure sustainable management of the fishery.

Baseline Survey

Landings from the fishery, exhibit a boomand-bust cycle common in sedentary marine bivalve fisheries in inshore waters. In 2006, Loughs Agency commissioned an independent baseline survey conducted by an internationally-respected fisheries research body. The survey concluded that native oyster beds showed signs of overfishing, with recruitment into the fishery low due to 22

Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland

There has been a continuous improvement in the population structure since regulation of the fishery in 2008. Prior to regulation it was uncommon for larger older oysters to be recorded during the post-fishery surveys within Lough Foyle. However, this has now become commonplace and resulted in an improvement in the proportion of spawning stock remaining within the population for the Summer breeding season.

Future Sustainability

Loughs Agency has been managing the fishery since 2014 based on Total Allowable Catch. This has resulted in a gradual increase in the proportion of the stock at spawning size and above (60mm). Spawnng stock biomass has been protected year-on-year based on the landings from the fishery

and the spawning activity observed each Summer. Poor spawning returns were recorded between 2015-2017 and this led to a continued restriction of the fishing effort and a larger carry over of spawning stock than had been the case.. By 2018, there was almost 500 tonnes of oysters in the spawning stock and a widespread and very intense spat settlement was observed, the largest on record. Loughs Agency is working with partners throughout Europe to identify the best methods to sustain, and where possible, restore native oyster beds. The Agency has identified several different pathways such as habitat enhancement projects and broodstock management

that are being investigated to build on the success that the introduction of regulations has had on the population. Sustaining small scale inshore shellfisheries such as the Lough Foyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has been demonstrated to be a difficult task.

Loughs Agency is committed to ensuring that through the use of real-time evidencebased management, informed by empirical scientific surveys and with effective fishery protection efforts, the Foyle oyster fishery will be sustained for generations to come.

Boosting the Blue Economy through european research in Gaeltacht Communities Údarás na Gaeltachta through its Research and Sectoral Development Department is involved in several European projects relating to the ‘Blue’ Economy. Strategically, Údarás na Gaeltachta has a specific focus on the sustainable development of our natural and coastal resources to promote further economic growth through new enterprise formation and enterprise development, and an increase in employment and investment. Research and development and innovation in the sector is central to achieving these aims. SAFER, EMPORIA4KT, SW-GROW and ACCESS2SEA aim to develop new products and processes, encourage transnational learning, collaboration and synergies in order to boost the Blue Economy in our coastal Gaeltacht communities.

SAFER, or Smart Atlantic Seafood Clusters, is a transnational innovation project co-funded by the Interreg Atlantic Area Programme running from September 2017 to September 2020. The 26

project aims to improve the innovation performance of the seafood industry by increasing technology adoption and transnational cooperation. Údarás na Gaeltachta is progressing two pilot projects through SAFER partners: Foodintech; and Wireless Sensor and Applied Research Lab (WiSAR) to bring new technologies to companies in the North West of Ireland.

The first pilot involves Irish Fish Canners – Próiseáil (An Clochán Liath) Teoranta, the largest and only fish canning facility in Ireland. Irish Fish Canners currently stocktake manually with spreadsheets. This is an arduous task which can lead to errors in recording data with no access to live information. This pilot takes as a basis the software technology of Portuguese partner Foodintech tailored to the requirements of Irish Fish Canners.. Foodintech, Irish Fish Canners and Údarás na Gaeltachta have been working on this for several months remotely but also through face-toface meetings and visiting companies in Portugal running similar solutions.

Údarás na Gaeltachta invited the project consortium partners to attend an event hosted in Galway in early 2020, where the day-to-day of the organisation and current stance in relation to the Marine Sector and the supports available to the sector and companies based within the Gaeltacht areas of Ireland were outlined to the consortium. They were also introduced to and briefed by representatives and researchers on the overall strategic goals of organisations such as, the Marine Institute and Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM). Údarás na Gaeltachta also organised a Boot Camp in its Head Office in Galway, where they invited stakeholders from the Triple Helix to discuss, evaluate and assess investment in Research and Development and Innovation (R&D&I); industry needs in the Blue Economy and national R&D&I capacity to support development of the Blue Economy.

SW-GROW is an EU project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the Northern Periphery & Arctic (NPA) Programme 2014-2020. The project runs from August 2019 to July 2021. The aim of the project is to improve and add value to seaweed products by creating a quality brand through undertaking DNA and other tests to ensure that the seaweed product is of high quality. Branding will also include cultural and historical information. This in turn will enable SMEs in the NPA region to compete with competitors in the Far East. Údarás na Gaeltachta recently hosted an extremely successful and well attended seaweed seminar. The event gathered key players in the seaweed industry to discuss developments, improvements and routes to market in the industry. The conference also examined the potential for growth for the seaweed sector along the west coast. During the project, techniques in cultivation, waste reduction and renewable energy in the industry will also be examined. The project will identify common issues throughout the NPA Region and provide access to high-level R&D links within academic partners across regional and national borders to pilot solutions that can

be adopted throughout the industry - thus developing solutions that enable technology transfer across the Programme area - in particular benefiting SMEs. This will result in higher levels of innovation and competitiveness in remote and sparsely populated areas by transfer and development of models and solutions that facilitate technology transfer to, and across, the Programme area.

Access2Sea was created to identify new opportunities for a more competitive and sustainable blue growth in the Atlantic area, through the development of sustainable aquaculture.

Údarás na Gaeltachta’s seaweed seminar attracts widespread interest Údarás Na Gaeltachta hosted a “Seimineár Feamainn” (Seaweed Seminar) in the Connemara Coast Hotel in January. An tÚdarás has always recognised the importance of the marine resource to the creation of sustainable local and regional economic development opportunities. This event was a key initiative under the SWGrow EU project funded by The Northern Periphery and Arctic 2014-2020 Programme of which Údarás is a project partner. SW-Grow’s objective is to increase economic

opportunities in the seaweed industry by developing innovative working practices that can be widely adopted by the related SMEs in the NPA region. The event was opened by Cliodhna Ní Ghríofa, project officer for SW-Grow, who, alongside her project partner Dr Ronan Sulpice of NUI Galway, described the work involved and the expected outcomes. Other expert speakers included Dr Mark White, Údarás na Gaeltachta; Freddie O’ Mahony, Carton Point Shellfish; Dr Maria Hayes, Teagasc; Dr Julie

Maguire, BMRS; James Burke and Jim Keogh, Arramara Teo; Wayne Murphy, Hatch; John Quinlan, Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine; and Teresa Morrissey, IFA Aquaculture. It is evident that there is a strong interest in the seaweed industry - 120 people were in attendance from start-ups to welldeveloped companies such as Ross Campbell from CyberCollids Ltd, and state agencies such as Bord Bia. Detailed information was shared on past developments within the industry such as Teagasc’s

developments in bioactive peptides from seaweed to promote heart health, the efficient use of the proteins found in seaweed and their functional applications in the food industry, to current projects in BMRS that are examining the best native Irish seaweeds demonstrating antimethanogenic properties.

WHY VACCINATE? Chris Mitchell, PHARMAQ Ltd Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland readers will have seen this question raised within the context of human healthcare, particularly in relation to children. Over the past two decades, there has been an alarming fall in the number of children, in Ireland and the UK, being vaccinated against serious illnesses such as measles and mumps. Whilst this article does not seek to address the pseudoscience that has led to this state of affairs, the outcomes of it are nevertheless both interesting and relevant to the health of animals as well as humans, particularly from a group perspective. The spread of infection in any population of individuals is influenced by a number of factors including the transmissibility of the pathogen, and the density of the host population. Of additional importance is the immunity of individuals within the population, to the infection. Where natural immunity in the population is low and vaccination absent, as is currently the case with the Corona virus, the infective agent is free to replicate in, and move between, hosts with ease. 30

Herd

immunity

In a naïve and susceptible population the measure used to describe the movement or spread of infection is referred to as R0, the ‘basic reproductive number’. If R0 is > 1 then each primary case will produce, on average, more than one secondary case. Generally speaking, the higher the R0 value the harder it is to control an epidemic. Examples of R0 values in human health range from Ebola (R0 2); SARS (R0 4); through to measles (R0 18). The impact of R0 for any infectious agent can be modified through vaccination programmes which is why this intervention is so important as a mechanism of disease control both in human and animal populations. This modification is mediated through the concept of herd immunity which refers to the number of individuals in a population that must be immune or resistant to the disease in order to prevent it spreading. There are mathematical models that describe this which combine R0 with vaccine efficacy. Thus, based upon an estimated R0 between 1.3 and 2.5 for Infectious Salmon Anaemia

(ISA), for herd immunity to be achieved, at least 75% of a population must be vaccinated (Mardones et al 2011) There are actually relatively few R0 values known in fish disease. In the case of Furunculosis (albeit in Chinook salmon) an R0 of 3.25 has been estimated, higher it seems than the R0 estimated for ISA (Ogut et al. 2004) Of course, furunculosis is a disease which can be treated successfully with the use of antibiotic under prescription from a vet. Nowadays though, this should be necessary only in affected fish that are too small to vaccinate.

Vaccine

success

Gone are the days of the late 1980s where Oxytetracycline and Oxolinic acid were routinely used in great quantities to treat harvestsized salmon in the sea. This practice has been rendered entirely unnecessary following the introduction of efficacious vaccines in the early 90s. Indeed, it has been one of the major success stories in modern salmonid aquaculture in the Northern Hemisphere where escalating production

has been matched by plummeting use of antimicrobial compounds. Today, producers of animal protein are under intense pressure to keep the use of antibiotic to an absolute minimum, and rightly so. Fortunately, the vaccination of Atlantic salmon against furunculosis has been shown to be a highly effective alternative, one which everyone should deploy in order to keep fish healthy and to help prevent the transmission of this disease and others such as Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis (IPN) and Salmon Pancreas Disease (SPD) which cannot be treated.

Ideal for inshore and offshore locations, they are proven in the most exposed conditions of the Atlantic Ocean. In order to help grow your mussel crop, our floats offer several distinct advantages. The float has been specifically designed to withstand the pressures of high waves and sit steadily on the water, even when loaded with a full crop of mussels. A unique

Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland

patented fin design reduces the movement of the float in the water making the line more stable even in rough sea conditions. The oval shape design reduces the impact on the float from the ocean during rough seas, which in turn reduces the loss of crop from the lines. Float handles are offset from the centre so that the head line will be submerged using only 25% of the float’s floatation compared to others amounting up to 50% of the float’s floatation. For ease of handling, the mooring eyes are strong

and durable with both a long and wide opening. This increases the lashing area for the head line and reduces the risk of wear and tear on head line ropes. Manufactured in a marine grey colour reduces the visual impact on the surrounding environment, and the polyethylene is fortified with UV stabilisers designed especially for marine applications. All of these factors culminate in significantly increased yields over a shorter time period for the mussel farmer. For further information see www.jfcmarine.com 31

Irish Aquaculture and Covid-19

Irish aquaculture is experiencing severe and unexpected impacts due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with market closures and disturbances causing unprecedented levels of disruption. Such negative impacts are potentially devastating for the industry and were already visible just a few weeks after the crisis began, with impediments to normal production activity; a drastic reduction in market demand; and difficulties receiving supplies and distributing product due to rising transport costs, particularly airfreight. IFA Aquaculture lobbied successfully at EU level for amendments to the rules of the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) that would allow the introduction of support measures for the aquaculture sector. This enabled the EMFF to grant financial compensation to producers and processors for a temporary suspension of production and a reduction in sales, as well as the additional storage costs they will incur between February 1st and December 31st 2020 as a consequence of COVID-19. 32

IFA Aquaculture continues to work with the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine (DAFM) regarding the adoption of these urgent, powerful and extraordinary measures in order to prevent the COVID-19 emergency having irreversible negative impacts on the normal operation of Irish aquaculture. Implementation of the recommendations of the Independent Aquaculture Licensing Review Group continues to be a key policy objective for IFA Aquaculture. We are seeking a commitment from the Minister for an implementation plan that prioritises and sets out clear timelines for each of the Review’s recommendations. As part of moving the process forward, IFA Aquaculture has established quarterly meetings with DAFM officials to enable discussion on aquaculture licensing. In addition, the ‘Strategic Guidelines for the sustainable development of EU aquaculture’ are currently being drafted by DG MARE. The updated guidelines aim to inform Member States as they update National Strategic

Plans for Sustainable Aquaculture. IFA Aquaculture has also been working with the EU Aquaculture Advisory Council (AAC) over the past few months preparing recommendations for the EU Commission on these guidelines, which will shortly be followed by a public consultation process in Summer 2020. Despite the current challenges, there are great opportunities ahead for the aquaculture industry. Aquaculture has proven itself multiple times over the years to be a very resilient industry. The Covid-19 crisis is forcing us all to find new ways to adapt to the implications of a changing world, and the Irish Aquaculture sector is once again adapting to the continued challenges it faces.

European Green Deal

Despite the lack of state financial support, licensing issues, disease outbreaks, stock losses and the public perception of aquaculture as one of the main challenges currently facing the industry, aquaculture has still managed to make some progress - against all the odds. Food production has never been more important, and the

Covid-19 crisis has shown the value of sustainable food production systems. There is now a significant opportunity for aquaculture in light of the increasing global demand for seafood, more sustainable food sources, and carbon-efficient food production. These growing demands along with the recently announced ‘European Green Deal’, provide a real opportunity for the aquaculture sector to position itself as part of the solution to these growing demands and acknowledging the role aquaculture has to play in sustainable food production and the Covid-19 recovery plan. EU Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen announcing the European Green Deal, confirmed that “the Commission will work with Member States to develop the potential of seafood as a source of low-carbon food”. Aquaculture is already well positioned in this regard. However, a functioning aquaculture licensing system continues to be a key priority to unlocking any future potential of the Irish aquaculture industry. Development opportunities for Irish aquaculture must be facilitated through appropriate legislative

reform. It is widely acknowledged that the Irish aquaculture sector needs the support of policy to allow for sustainable development of the industry. NOW is the time to ensure that Irish aquaculture doesn’t miss the biggest opportunity, during a time of the greatest need for sustainable food production, for the development of sustainable Irish aquaculture.

Aquaculture and the National Marine Planning Framework Teresa Morrissey, IFA Aquaculture IFA Aquaculture is represented on the National Marine Spatial Planning Stakeholder Advisory Group and is actively engaged with the ongoing process of marine spatial planning – having already prepared a submission to the Marine Planning Policy Statement, and participated in the public consultation process on the Draft National Marine Planning Framework. In broad terms the policies and principles of Ireland’s Marine planning system address some of the recommendations outlined in the ‘Independent Aquaculture Licensing Review Group’, which concluded that the aquaculture licensing system is in ‘urgent need of reform’. The Aquaculture objectives outlined in the draft National Marine Planning Framework (currently undergoing public consultation) address some key aspects that could aid reform of the current aquaculture licensing system. These include: • Support for a diverse, compliant and growing aquaculture sector through a modern licensing and enforcement system • Maintain a ‘best practice’ aquaculture licensing system that supports the future potential of aquaculture • E nhance the aquaculture licensing system with 34

the aid of legislative, administrative and scientific expertise that will promote trust in the regulatory system • Develop enforcement strategies that support a compliant aquaculture industry

Social

dividend The realisation of such objectives would provide clarity for decision makers (e.g. those issuing licences); clarity for local businesses wanting to invest in new or existing ventures; and probably most importantly, clarity for local communities regarding the aquaculture developments planned for their area. As aquaculture provides an important social dividend to rural, coastal and island communities through employment from the sustainable production of high-quality food, the sector’s contribution to sustaining vitality and

viability cannot be ignored. IFA Aquaculture notes however that the functions of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, are excluded from the scope of the Marine Planning and Development Bill. It would appear that as a function of this department, aquaculture is not included in the very legislative framework that underpins the marine planning system. In other words, the policies, principles and objectives of the National Marine Planning Framework means little with regard to the aquaculture sector if they are not underpinned by appropriate legislation.

Opportunity

lost Any legislative framework related to the marine planning system must include the aquaculture sector – in order to succeed in enabling a better

integrated marine management. Ireland’s marine planning system and legislative framework must apply to all sectors, including aquaculture; Ireland’s aquaculture sector needs the support of policy that will allow it to develop sustainably.IFA Aquaculture supports the development of an integrated marine planning system which is aligned with the landplanning system, with a clear timeframe for every step of the decisionmaking process from the outset, through screening, consultation, decision making and appeals. Such measures would meet the implementation requirement of a number of the recommendations outlined in the ‘Review of the Aquaculture Licensing Process’. These would also address the priorities for the development of sustainable aquaculture as identified in Government policy documents such as the ‘National Strategic Plan for Sustainable Aquaculture’ and the current ‘Programme for Partnership Government’. Given the number of policy documents calling for reform of the aquaculture regulatory system, serious questions must be asked about the wisdom of deciding to exempt the aquaculture sector from the legislative process for reformative policy for the marine space. Surely, it’s an opportunity to embrace change?

he MOREFISH group was established in 2015 to support the research needs of the Irish freshwater aquaculture sector under the 2014 research call from the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine (DAFM). Since then the team has been involved in a variety of different projects most, recently ECOAQUA . During this project, the team carried out and analysed over 100 river spot samples; collected over 140 24hour composite samples assessing water-in and - out of sites which on average produce 57% of Irelands freshwater aquaculture sector. The final report of the ECOAQUA project is

currently out for review and consultation.

Improve Production

ECOAQUA was funded by the European Maritime Fisheries Fund (EMFF), and administered by Bord Iascaigh Mhara through the Knowledge Gateway Scheme. The project aimed to improve production efficiencies at several freshwater sites across the country by researching new methods, trialling new technologies and generating new datasets which could inform policy.Biological and environmental monitoring was carried out at all partner sites. For the FT sites parameters such as flow, hydromorphology,

Q-values and plant indices were monitored. Monitoring of water-in and water-out of the farms over a year showed there was a high level of compliance with discharge licenses at all partner sites. Interestingly, many parameters (nutrient concentrations and suspended sediments) increased the further from the farm the samples were taken, indicating that there were other contributors to changes in water quality. The monitoring captured approximately 8 - 9% of annual water use and nutrient emissions. One of the more interesting results was that the trout site was acting as a sedimentation

basin for the river, with sediment concentrations lower in the discharged waters. Water use per tonne of fish produced was also investigated. On average, one tonne of salmon smolts used half the water required to produce a tonne of trout. This difference was likely due to differences in site design and target weights (hatchery vs grow-out).

Energy Recovery Sludge from two sites was analysed to determine the likely yield of methane which could be used to generate biogas using anaerobic digestion. The results indicate that the energy potential of this waste product could

be enough to produce 18 – 25% of the energy demand of the sites and could offset approximately 8 - 19% of the sites CO2 emissions. The results demonstrate the opportunity for the valorisation of aquaculture waste streams. Energy

recovery from discharged waters was modelled, and indicated that using a technology in development at NUI Galway, which has a hydraulic efficiency of 0.75 (i.e. able to recover 75% of energy); 4 – 31% of annual energy could be recovered while reducing CO2

emissions by 3 - 25%. This wide range in potential savings is dependent on the energy requirements of the site and the available flow. Installation of such devices on low energy demand FT sites with high velocities could contribute to

further reducing carbon footprints and allow further promotion of aquaculture products as a low carbon alternative to other protein sources. For more information on MOREFISH, please visit www.morefish.ie

Promoting local seafood consumption in Northern Ireland Dr Annika Clements, Seafish Northern Ireland

he seafood industry has faced huge challenges in the wake of Covid-19, so encouraging people to eat more locallycaught fish and shellfish has never been timelier. In the UK, market data has shown a positive rise in seafood sales. This reached a peak with a 60% increase in multiple retail sales volume for the week ending March 21st, mostly made up of increased sales of frozen and canned produce. Retail sales have remained buoyant during the lockdown period – well above the usual sales levels. However, the closure of dining out options during lockdown has had an enormous impact on foodservice seafood sales. Furthermore, lockdown in many key export destination countries has had an enormous impact on Northern Ireland seafood producers. During this period, a number of initiatives have supported the industry by encouraging increased domestic consumption:

‘Sea For Yourself’

Seafish and the Department of Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) launched a new consumer marketing campaign in March 2020, just as the Covid-19 situation began to bite. The campaign aims to get more consumers to eat more of the delicious seafood caught in UK waters. 38

It focuses on families and the over 55s, reaching them via print publications, social media and radio. The campaign focuses on promoting fish and shellfish found in UK waters including: • Shellfish: mussels; oysters; crabs; lobsters • Oily Fish: mackerel; herring; rainbow trout • White Fish: hake; coley; monkfish; and lemon sole The campaign is supported by the Seafish consumer website Fish is the Dish, with tips and recipes to show consumers how they can cook these species, as well as information on where to buy local fish and shellfish. Northern Ireland’s fishmongers have shown great entrepreneurship in diversifying to ‘home delivery’ and ‘drive through’ options to enable ongoing service during the Covid-19 pandemic. Furthermore, many fishermen have begun ‘direct selling’ to the public; delivering freshly landed fish and shellfish across much of Northern Ireland. These businesses are listed and updated on the Fish is the Dish website; https://www. fishisthedish.co.uk/ To enable businesses to engage with the campaign and amplify its key messages about local sourcing, Seafish has made a range of campaign assets available for business to download for free from its online asset

bank. In Northern Ireland, recipe booklets and cards have been distributed to seafood businesses to include with their fish boxes or home deliveries, with input from local chefs who have been great supporters of increasing local seafood consumption.

Digital Workshops

Free digital workshops for the seafood industry – with additional ‘clinic’ time for personalised advice – were started to support diversifying seafood businesses during Covid-19, especially those fishermen starting to sell directly to the public. The workshops offer fishermen, merchants, fishmongers, fishing family members, and processors the chance to establish a strong social media presence in order to boost sales.

‘Fish on Friday’ Rapid Response Grants

The Fishmongers’ Company and Seafarers UK ran a

Covid-19 Rapid Response grant programme to offer financial support for projects or initiatives by seafood businesses that aimed to: • deliver diversification opportunities for seafood and fisheries businesses • promote and/or facilitate consumption or sale of local seafood • provide community meals using seafood Within Northern Ireland, Mourne Seafood Bar were successful in their application to set up a ‘drive through’ fish shop in Belfast, and to provide a ‘Mourne@ Home’ cookery experience where customers purchase ready-to-cook ingredients for one of their classic dishes, with online videos provided to guide cooking. The fish shop initiative has been an enormous success, with sales of £5- 7,000 per weekend, and with the business buying £4- 5,000 of locally-landed and farmed seafood each week.

CASE STUDY

Industry-led Northern Ireland scallop enhancement By Dr Annika Clements, Seafish Northern Ireland

Lisa McBride with a Mourne Fishbox at Kilkeel Harbour.

Mourne Fishbox in Kilkeel, who already ran a successful web-based home delivery business with free delivery across the UK and Ireland, has seen a huge growth in demand for home deliveries in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The business, a subsidiary of Mourne Seafoods, which had a significant restaurant trade that was immediately impacted by the pandemic, has seen the demand for home-delivered, high quality seafood increase seven-fold within a month of lockdown. Mourne Fishbox focus on providing as much locallylanded and farmed seafood as possible, which is then filleted and prepared before being vacuum packed to make it as accessible and easy to cook as possible.

There has been a King scallop (Pecten maximus) fishery in Northern Ireland since the 1930s, and in the last five years UK-registered vessels have landed between a 1,000 and 2,300 tonnes of scallop annually worth between £2.3 and £3.5 million into Northern Ireland. Today, with 40 to 75 vessels reporting annual landings, scallop is the joint second most valuable sea fishery in Northern Ireland. The Northern Ireland Scallop Fishermen’s Association recognised the need to be proactive in securing the longterm sustainability of local scallop stocks, and following a re-seeding trial in 1999, they were keen to explore the viability of some type of scallop enhancement.

Seafish was asked to fund a study to identify potential sites around the Northern Ireland coast for scallop enhancement or reseeding, which was completed by the AgriFood and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) in 2017. The study identified suitable habitat for juvenile scallops to grow on by analysing sea temperature, salinity, food availability, predator distribution, seabed currents and sediment data, with scallop enhancement sites selected from the area of suitable habitat by discussing options with the NI Scallop Fishermen’s Association and using their local knowledge. This process resulted in four potential sites along the

“We have seen a surge in orders with many new customers, many from further afield such as London, and many repeat orders from the new customers, which is fantastic for business” says Lisa McBride, Marketing Manager. The Mourne Fishbox team are working with their courier and packaging suppliers to meet demand and adapt a delivery schedule that is realistic in the Covid-19 situation. Recipes and cooking guidance leaflets are sent out in the fish boxes, and customers can access them on the website and via social media. Lisa’s passionate commitment to providing the best available products has paid off with excellent feedback from customers. She also encourages customers to try less commonly eaten seafood, such as oysters (locally grown in Carlingford Lough) and crab claws, as well as supplying her favourites to customers.

retention on the site, once laid. Ongoing research uses hydrodynamic modelling to identify larval dispersal from the scallop enhancement sites to the commercial scallop fishing grounds. The results will be reported in the Summer and used to further inform how the sites are best utilised. DAERA expects to consult on the closure of the scallop enhancement sites by Autumn 2020. A fisheriesscience partnership will be developed also to monitor and manage the sites and keep the NI Scallop Fishermen’s Association at the heart of the entire process.

County Antrim and County Down coast being put forward (see map). The Northern Ireland Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) agreed via the Inshore Fisheries Partnership Group to progress closure of the identified sites to mobile fishing gear and to hand collection (diving) of scallops - effectively treating them as Marine Protected Areas. In order to bring this to public consultation, further information was required on how the sites would be managed and monitored. Seafish funded a follow-on study in 2019 by the AFBI to undertake a global review of scallop enhancement initiatives, and to see how these might be appropriate 40

After that, it was recommended first to monitor natural scallop recruitment at each of the sites with the potential for natural spat collection and/ or reseeding at some sites then trialled. Natural spat collection is preferred, as sourcing seed elsewhere - from a hatchery, spat collection at a nearby site, or from further afield – can be problematic from a genetics perspective, and due to survival of seed during transport and

BESNARD – delivering innovative design and reliability to the shellfish industry Besnard, producers of a wide range of specialist made-tomeasure equipment for the shellfish sector has reported another successful year in 2019. Established in 1965 as a metal works in the Pays-deLoire region of north-western France, Besnard Père et Fils expanded quickly and began working with the shellfish farming industry in 1976. Almost a half-a-century later, the Besnard name is a byword for innovative design and reliability. The company reputation is founded on its ability to design, manufacture and install customised equipment of quality and durability for the highly specialised sectors of shellfish and asparagus farming. 2019 proved to be another very successful year for Besnard’s product range – with mussel producers in particular. Myti Roll, a new mussel washing machine with its cylinder and weight sensors which regulate input has been particularly well received as a welcome addition for producers who have been experiencing unusually high barnacle loadings over the past two years.

Besnard also unveiled a new generation oyster grader. As well as being programmable to suit location, this grader incorporates 3-d vision technology, and is equipped with a very user-friendly panel interface that leads to reliable and even grading of shellfish.

Worldwide Reputation

Besnard has also redesigned its original packaging turntable first developed by Germain Besnard in 1979. The new design of this highly reliable equipment simplifies the entire process of packing oysters and provides a safe and comfortable workstation. With four operatives: one at the washing machine; two at the table; and one on sealer, the turntable is capable of processing up to 650kg/hour!

he Covid-19 Pandemic that hit Ireland this year has understandably consumed public attention and has had massive implications for how people work and live. Emergency measures have wrought economic havoc which will have long-lasting impacts on practically every sector. If Covid-19 could be compared to a societal volcano, it has led to a de-focusing on the earthquake that has been rumbling in the background since 2016 – Brexit. Almost unnoticed, Britain left the EU in January this year; the divorce has happened. A year-long transition period is now underway during which Britain remains subject to EU trade rules and regulations, and was meant to be utilized to arrive at a settlement as to how the EU and Britain will interact in future. This is an extraordinarily complex set of issues entailing a re-examination of 40 years of regulation and agreements painstakingly negotiated and covering a vast swathe of complex areas from citizen’s rights; product standards; trade arrangements; labour markets; and notably, fisheries and seafood.

Frustration

Most informed commentators agree that concluding such mindboggling negotiations properly would take years, but the UK Government is insistent that no extension 42

Brexit ‘Crunch Point’

will be allowed to let this happen. The best that can be done, if even that is achievable, is some sort of framework in which the pieces would be coloured in subsequently. But even that is looking unlikely right now. Michel Barnier, Head of Task Force for Relations with the United Kingdom, has recently expressed deep frustration at the lack of progress, and many now suspect that Britain is intent on ‘crashing out’ and taking its chances at the end of the transition period. A huge emotional and psychological plank in the Brexiteers case to leave the EU was that it would “reclaim its waters” and manage its fisheries resources more to the benefit of its fishing industry. On the other hand, the EU is sticking to its insistence that there must be a continuation of some sort of Common Fisheries Policy type sharing of access and resources on a reciprocal basis.

Mackerel Fishery

The EU has gone so far as to

insist that if no satisfactory agreement is reached on fisheries, there will be no free-trade deal at all with the UK. In fairness, this position has held despite enormous pressures, and it is a testament to the determination of the Irish government – and of Michel Barnier - to adhere to the commitments given to the Irish fishing industry that this remains the case. If the UK crashes out, access to UK waters for Irish and other EU fishermen will be by grace-and-favour of the UK. This could hugely limit access for Irish fishers to the enormously important mackerel fishery northwest of Scotland from which Irish vessels and processors secure 60% of their supplies of raw material. It would have similar effects on access to prawn stocks, now vital to Ireland’s demersal fisheries. While mackerel is a migratory species and the location of the fish west of Scotland is a question of optimum fat content (and market value) at particular times, prawns are very geographically specific

The effects of a wider failure to secure existing trade arrangements will have disproportionate effects on Ireland as Britain’s nearest neighbour and our largest trading partner. The uncertainty and complexity of trade with and through Britain for perishable Irish seafood exports - and indeed substantial imports - will not be as seamless as some in the British establishment blithely predict. Ireland is fortunate although many are not very appreciative– to have a very experienced, able team of officials and capable politicians who play a totally disproportionate role in shaping and maintaining the EU line in dealing with Brexit. To date, the government has kept faith with the assurances given to the sector some years ago, and the EU has likewise done so. The question is: can this hold and can we prevail? All this against a Covid-19 backdrop which will cause massive economic fallout for the next few years. We have now arrived at the real Brexit crunch-point which will have enormous and lasting implications for the Irish seafood sector: for vessels; for aquaculture; and for processors and traders. The economic earthquake may well outlast the public health volcano.
