PULSE FISHING TO GO BY 2021

India’s traditional fishermen given priority page 8

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

With the exception of a handful of experimental licences that will be allowed to continue, pulse fishing will come to an end in 2021.

In a trilogue meeting in Strasbourg, the European Parliament, European Council and European Commission stopped short of an immediate outright ban on pulse fishing, instead stipulating that 42 licences are to be withdrawn this year and a further 42 in 2021, while six experimental licences can remain.

POWER & FUEL

The decision has been taken more than a year after the European Parliament voted overwhelmingly in favour of an end to pulse fishing, following a publicity campaign by NGOs that Dutch fishermen’s federations have condemned as having propagated falsehoods about this fishing method.

An investigation by NGOs including the Environmental Justice Foundation has concluded that the South Korean government failed to place sanctions on two vessels found to have been fishing illegally in Antarctic waters, allowing the vessel owner to export production to world markets.

According to international and Korean NGOs, fishing vessels Southern Ocean and Hong-Jin 701 violated CCAMLR conservation measures designed to protect Antarctic waters. In spite of promises that the two vessels would be sanctioned, prosecutions were not pursued, leaving the owners free to sell the two vessels’ illegal catch.

Southern Ocean and Hong-Jin 701 are believed to have caught 70 tonnes of toothfish, despite being served with a closure notification from the CCAMLR secretariat. The Korean government promised to ensure the operator did not receive any financial benefit, and issued a 60-day business suspension, although according to the NGOs concerned, this

sanction is meaningless as it coincided with a CCAMLR non-fishing period.

The owners of Southern Ocean and Hong-Jin 701 are believed to have sold the catch. Korean prosecutors have not continued with the case, while CCAMLR has officially classified the two vessels as Non-compliance Level 3, meaning “Seriously, Frequently or Persistently non-compliant,” a move which is a step away from a ban on the vessels fishing in the CCAMLR area.

Pulse fishing: winners and losers

The enthusiasm for pulse fishing came as no surprise once the economics of it became clear, and without it, there’s little doubt there would have been bankruptcies

Having watched the parallel sagas of the development of pulse trawling and the growth of the opposition to it, there’s no doubt that while this is a genuinely smart, innovative and intelligent way of fishing that ticks a bunch of the right boxes, there are still open questions there – which will now presumably never be answered.

The European Parliament’s vote a year ago, when MEPs voted with a crushing majority to end pulse fishing, rang the death knell for this fishing method. Since then the industry has just been waiting for the final verdict to be read out.

The opposition to pulse fishing has been spearheaded by NGOs and by French and English fishermen who have been certain that their sole fisheries in particular have been devastated by the activities of the pulse beamers.

Passions have run very high over the last couple of years. The NGOs concerned and the inshore fishermen can be satisfied that they have won a victory. Even so, the delighted crowing from some of the French and English fishermen that their neighbours are likely to lose their livelihoods leaves a supremely bad taste.

As far as the Dutch industry is concerned, they have done all the right things and haven’t broken any laws, converting to a fishing method that uses significantly less fuel and catches practically clean sole, all with less seabed disturbance, which they argue with conviction is precisely what concerned consumers had wanted.

On the other hand, the pulse fleet has grown rapidly. The enthusiasm for pulse fishing came as no surprise once the economics of it became clear, and without it, there’s little doubt there would have been bankruptcies. The industry pushed hard for more licences while electrical fishing was still an experimental method, with an apparent shortfall in awareness of just how heated the opposition to pulse gear was becoming.

Now some unpopular decisions will have to be taken on which companies lose their pulse licences first and what alternatives are likely to be open to them. This opens a few more questions, such as whether or not these companies will be able to innovate and diversify yet again. Will banks be prepared to fund more innovation efforts, will there be state support – and will there even be an appetite among the Dutch fishermen to go again down the innovation route after having their fingers so badly burned?

Then there’s the question of where will the inevitable displaced effort go. There’s also the unanswerable question of whether the sole fishing in the Eastern Channel dried up because of pulse fishing, or did its departure coincide with it, or is pulse trawling one of a number of contributing factors that include rising sea temperatures?

We’ll probably never know now. We’ll have to wait and see if the sole return - or not.

BRIEFS Ireland’s Marine Institute plans new research vessel The Marine Institute has announced that the design process of Ireland's new state of the art marine research vessel is now under way.

Following an extensive EU tender process, ship design consultants Skipsteknisk have been awarded the contract to design the new state of the art marine research vessel for Ireland.

Russian Aquaculture up in 2018 According to preliminary figures released by the Russian Federal Agency for Fisheries, aquaculture production was up 5.60% in 2018, with a 232,000 tonne growth in production.

PULSE TRAWL FISHERY SET TO END The reaction has been one of fury and disappointment from the Dutch industry, which has spearheaded this method of fishing over a long period of development and investment.

“It can be compared to taking the solar panels off the roof and burning coal instead,” a spokesman for the Dutch federations commented, stating that this end to pulse fishing is a triumph of emotion over science.

“Pulse gear delivers what civil society has been demanding – lower by-catch, lower fuel consumption and reduced seabed disturbance. These aims remain high on the agenda, but we have to stop using pulse gear. A ban on pulse fishing makes no sense.”

According to fishermen’s federations VisNed, Nederlandse Vissersbond and EMK, pulse fishing reduces fuel consumption by 46% and the pulse fleet is the only fishing sector that has met the target of reducing emissions by 50% Pulse fishing has been highly controversial, and its growth has been strongly opposed by fishermen’s organisations in the UK and France, which have claimed that the activities of the Dutch

for the Dutch federations said, commenting that this is a failure of European decision-making.

Dutch Minister for Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality Carola Schouten has pledged to support the fishing sector and to push for a transition period and financial support for further innovation.

“Transition is just a sticking plaster. And we don’t need to be thinking about innovation now that we have seen the work we have done on this, supported by scientific research, thrown in the trash on the basis of an emotive campaign,” the federations state.

The Dutch fleet of pulse beamers has also grown to currently more than eighty licences, with this expansion following the crisis in the Dutch demersal fishery some years ago when spiralling fuel prices and static fish prices had combined to threaten the continued existence of the beam trawl fleet.

“It has been scientifically proved that we cut fuel by 46%, we fish more selectively, and the lighter gear means less seabed disturbance. And yet an emotional lobby is able to pull the rug from under this innovation, which we see as incomprehensible,” a spokesman

The board of Fremantle-based agribusiness, Mareterram Limited has announced that it has entered into a binding bid implementation agreement (BIA) with Sea Harvest Group. Currently the largest shareholder in Mareterram, Sea Harvest has proposed an all cash takeover, in an offer conditional on achieving a 90% shareholding.

This announcement comes after Mareterram delivered solid operational and financial results for 2018 (FY18) during what has been widely regarded as one of the most challenging Shark Bay Prawn Managed Fishery (SBPMF) seasons in 50 years.

Mareterram Fisheries' fleet of prawn trawlers are set up to process, package, and snap freeze all their catch at sea.

The Mareterram board has established an Independent Board Committee, which has the scope of authority to, among other things, review, consider and evaluate the terms of the Sea Harvest offer. Having considered the offer, each member of the Independent Board Committee (being David Lock, Mark Pitts and Gregory Roberts-

Baxter) together with managing director James Clement (being the directors of the Company who are not affiliated with Sea Harvest) are unanimously of the view that the Offer is in the best interests of Mareterram shareholders and accordingly unanimously recommend that shareholders accept the offer.

The Non-Affiliated Directors believe that the offer is an attractive one for shareholders and note that it represents a significant premium to the Mareterram share price prior to the offer being made public.

Mareterram Fisheries is the single largest owner operator within the SBPMF and is a member of the Shark Bay Prawn Trawlers Operators Association that recently helped the Shark Bay fishery receive Marine Stewardship Council certification as a sustainable fishery.

CARGILL AND SKRETTING JOIN FORCES TO REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Fish feed suppliers Cargill and Skretting have embarked on a collaborative approach to transporting fish feed in Norway, under the Fjordfrende name.

Instead of ships with Cargill’s EWOS feed sailing right behind others carrying Skretting feed along the Norwegian coast, feed from both companies will be shipped by the same vessels.

This will rationalise shipping traffic and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by one fifth for the fish feed transport.

The two companies have selected shipping company Eidsvaag to be responsible for planning and handling of transport, including ships currently under contract.

“With this cooperation we will increase the utilisation rate of our fleets and significantly reduce our environmental footprint,” commented Fredrik Witte, managing director at Cargill Aqua Nutrition, North Sea. “We are creating an efficient system by optimising capacity over time, giving aquaculture a better distribution model. Load capacity will be better utilised, there will be shorter sailing distances and investment opportunities will increase,” commented Skretting Norway’s managing director Erlend Sødal.

8 Cargill Aqua Nutrition and Skretting Norway have initiated a transport collaboration to provide more efficient fish feed distribution and reduce greenhouse gas emissions

During the early stages of this co-operation, it could be possible to reduce fleet capacity, while increasing the utilisation rate of the cargo capacity. This efficiency improvement will reduce emission of harmful greenhouse gases by one fifth per tonne of fish feed transported, equivalent to 15-20 million kg of CO2 per year, or taking 7500 cars off the roads every year.

The companies stress that they will remain fierce competitors “We will continue to compete on every aspect of our business, including product performance and prices. The difference will be that the feed will be delivered by the same ship operator,” commented the directors. The parties have commissioned an independent third party, Tri-Vizor, as a trustee to ensure they continue to operate independently from each other.

INDIA’S TRADITIONAL FISHERMEN GIVEN PRIORITY

Photo: NJK

The Indian government aims to promote aquaculture and the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) is working on introducing a national policy on mariculture, reports J Kumar

The institute recently held a meeting with all stakeholders to formalise the policy and added various suggestions to the draft National Policy on Mariculture (NPM), 2018 received during the meeting. According to CMFRI, that this new policy will bring clarity for the sector and all concerns will be taken care so that there is no ambiguity between various corporate fishing sectors and traditional fishermen.

The policy will also set out rules on sustainable fishing, including marine protection and ecology.

A source within CMFRI told World Fishing that the final draft has been concluded and it will very soon be submitted to the National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB). From there it will go to the fishing ministry for approval.

Commenting on what key aspects included in the final draft, the CMFRI source said that the new policy will address concerns of traditional fishermen and their co-operative societies. These fishermen will get priority when marine mariculture zones are demarcated for various mariculture activities, as there were apprehensions that CMFRI policy has been drafted looking into corporate fishing companies and industry giants in the seafood sector.

Dr. A Gopalakrishnan, Director of CMFRI and Chairman of the committee which formulated the draft mariculture policy, said that the policy is intended to ensure an additional livelihood option to the fishermen community at a time when marine capture fishery passes through a period of stagnation.

The policy will have stringent measures to protect the interests of fishermen and fishing zones, Dr. A Gopalakrishnan stressed.

8 India needs to boost aquaculture production from the current 4.9 million tonnes to 12 million tonnes by 2030

CMFRI’s director also said that in order to meet growing food demands, India needs to produce more from aquaculture, adding that depending solely on marine capture fisheries will not be enough to meet these demands.

However, the source did not speculate on the date the government will announce the implementation of the policy, apart from stating that it would be before March 2019. As soon as the date is announced, it will be for the state government to formulate laws and regulations with respect to various aspects, including land, water, and fisheries. As per schedule 21 of the Indian Constitution, the States/Union Territories are empowered to regulate and manage marine fisheries in their territorial waters extending up to 12 nautical miles off the coast, while the EEZ from 12 to 200 nautical miles comes under central government jurisdiction.

The meeting suggested that state governments should be entrusted to take measures to curb all kinds of organic pollution emanating from cage fish farming in open seas.

CMFRI draft policy also said that NPM 2018 will ensure sustainable farmed seafood production for the benefit of food and nutritional security of the nation and to provide additional livelihood options to coastal communities.

Such policy has already contributed to substantial seafood production sector in many countries and there is an immense potential for sea farming in our country, the source added.

Knowing that the additional seafood requirement of the country in future years cannot be met by capture fisheries and inland aquaculture alone, CMFRI believes that a sustainable mariculture sector can contribute to the food and nutritional

security of the country and enhancing the quality of life of the stakeholders.

Dr A Gopalakrishnan also said that a national-level policy was the current need to promote mariculture enterprises in the country, as systematic mariculture is required to realise these goals.

According to CMFRI estimates, India needs to produce about 18 million tonnes of fish by 2030 as compared to 10 million tonnes that are produced through capture and culture today.

This would necessitate increasing aquaculture production from about 4.9 million tonnes now to 12 million tonnes.

Under the policy, sites will be identified for different mariculture activities such as cage farming, bivalve farming, pen culture, seaweed culture, hatcheries, and nurseries. Once identified, such areas will be earmarked as mariculture zones, in consultation with all stakeholders not limited to fishers but also include coastal dwellers, the source underlined.

Mariculture has been in existence in India since 1980 and mariculture systems including types of cages, longlines, rafts,

racks, pens, raceways, Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) and Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) are already used. However, under the NPM 2018, the major focus will be given for the improvement of existing technologies to be on par with international standards, biosecurity, and codes of practice.

The meeting was attended by representatives of fishermen, vessel owners, fish farmers, seafood exporters and hatchery entrepreneurs in Kerala along with marine scientists and Fisheries Department officials.

CMFRI officials also decided to incorporate mariculture on par with agriculture with a view to access to financial benefits from government and banking sectors in the final draft policy.

In addition, stringent measures will be incorporated into the draft policy to protect marine ecology.

Focusing on Fishery Development

RUSSIA HAS BIG PLANS FOR DISTANT WATERS Russia’s fishing industry has plans to significantly increase its presence around the world in the next few years with growth in fishing activities outside territorial waters, reports Eugene Gerden Statements made by the Federal Agency for Fisheries and several leading Russian fish producers indicate an intention to expand beyond territorial waters and an official Agency spokesman commented recently that at least twenty new high-tech trawlers will be built at Russian shipyards in the coming years, designed to focus primarily on fishing outside Russian territorial waters on year-round basis.

During the Soviet era there was an extensive fishing fleet which specialised in fishing distant waters, notably in the South Pacific region and African fishing grounds. This was mainly due to good relations between the governments of these states and the Soviet government, which was able to supply large-scale financial support as its part of these deals.

From around 1960 and into the 1980s, the Soviet fishing fleet operated in more than twenty countries around the world, while the share of distant waters catch accounted for around 50% of overall landings into the USSR, equivalent to 4.50 to 5 million tonnes annually. However, the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991 resulted in the disappearance of much of this fishing effort from these waters.

The intention to restore Russia’s position as a deep-sea fishing nation was made clear by the Russian government at the beginning of 2000s, with the state also making it clear that it would provide the support needed for such initiatives. This is expected to be mainly in the form of the allocation of various subsidies and other benefits to fishing companies operating in waters outside the Russian EEZ, including breaks in fuel and other costs, as well as benefits in tax and customs provisions.

‘‘

The intention to restore Russia’s position as a deep-sea fishing nation was made clear by the Russian government at the beginning of 2000s, with the state also making it clear that it would provide the support needed for such initiatives According to Russian fishing companies, these initiatives include increasing their presence mainly in the South Pacific and Africa regions, particularly Western Africa.

In the case of South Pacific, as head of the Federal Agency for Fisheries Ilya Shestakov has said already this year, the Russian fishing fleet will resume catching horse mackerel and sardines within the territorial waters of Peru and other Latin American states.

During the 1980s the mackerel catch by Soviet trawlers in this region was an estimated 1 million tonnes annually, at the same time as the so-called ‘horse mackerel belt’ was identified in the area by Soviet scientists.

10 | MARCH 2019

Russian marine scientists have been exploring the waters of West Africa since the 1960s, which resulted in the creation of a unique database of stocks of biological resources in this region.

Alongside plans to step up fishing effort in distant waters, new scientific efforts are also planned as part of researching fish stocks.

This was confirmed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov, who said Russian fishing companies will start operating in the territorial waters of Namibia this year. According to Lavrov, this became the result of a recent agreement with the Namibian President Hage Geingob. Under the terms of the agreement, Russia receives a 250,000 tonne annual quota from Namibia.

Last year, a similar agreement was reached with Angola, and similar planned agreements with Mozambique and Tanzania are expected to be reached in the first half of this year, and it is clear that Russia has further ambitions in reaching fisheries agreements with more African coastal states.

According to Andrew Krayniy, a former head of the Federal Agency for Fisheries and now one of Russia’s leading fishing industry analysts, particular areas of interest to the Russian fishing sector include Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal and GuineaBissau.

To date, the waters of these countries have attracted attention from EU fishing interests, along with growing attention from Chinese fish producers. Now it appears that Russian fishing operators expect to be providing some serious competition to EU and Chinese operators for fishing access in African waters.

According to predictions by the Russian Ministry of Agriculture, the annual catch by the Russian fleet in the African region will reach an estimated 800,000 tonnes over the coming three to five years. A significant part of this catch will be landed in African countries, while the remainder would be shipped to Russia for further processing.

At present the share of the Russian catch from waters outside the Russian EEZ is around 10% of total landings, and the Federal Agency for Fisheries has expectations that this will double or triple in the next few years.

FISH WASTE

The Cluster came into being in 2011 in what had previously been a netloft on the Grandagarður quayside, and with the building renovated and converted – with care taken to lose as little as possible in the process of its unique character – it has brought together many of Iceland’s fishing and seafood innovators.

The Iceland Ocean Cluster’s mission is to create value and discover new opportunities by connecting entrepreneurs, businesses and knowledge in the marine industries. The Ocean Cluster House is an innovation hub and incubator for companies that draw on the ocean as a resource for their products, services, and ideas. 70 companies are now located in the Ocean Cluster House.

Thór Sigfússon is an entrepreneur, author and speaker. As well as playing a central role in establishing the Iceland Ocean Cluster, he is also the co-founder of Codland, Hlemmur Food Hall and Sjó-Food Hall. He has written five books on topics of international business, knowledge networks and salmon.

“The global seafood industry dumps nearly 10 million tons of perfectly good fish back into the ocean or uses it as landfill,” he said.

“The IceFish Conference is a way for all of us to address the problem by bringing together people with hands-on experience in fish byproduct utilisation. Innovative health-, pharmaceutical- and even fashion products from the wild fish stock are being developed in the Icelandic economy. There lies our opportunity; Icelanders are putting their minds to create more value from each fish. The results are already out. We are using more of each whitefish than all the developed countries we compare ourselves with. Fish is not only the fillet, skins are being turned into health products, livers become omega and pharmaceuticals, the heads and bones are used – basically nothing is left for landfill.”

He commented that scientists believe overfishing, unsustainable seafood farming practices, ocean pollution and acidification will threaten the future of seafood availability worldwide.

“I strongly believe we can take our experience and cluster model in seafood to other countries and use this to inspire collaboration and startups in the field. Now it’s up to the rest of the world to imagine, and then build, a value-added world with 100% utilisation.”

After completing his MS degree in economics in 1993, Thór Sigfússon became a special advisor to the Minister of Finance of Iceland in January 1994. After working there for four years, he left the ministry to join the Nordic Investment Bank as deputy managing director. In January 2003, he moved on to the Iceland Chamber of Commerce as its managing director, followed by a four-year spell with Sjová Insurance before enrolling at University of Iceland for PhD in business.

In his studies he focused on how entrepreneurs used networks in their internationalisation, all of which alerted him to

how companies and entrepreneurs in the marine industry fail to connect with each other.

He began working on a network to increase interaction between marine tech companies and launched the Iceland Ocean Cluster in 2011.

Since then he has devoted himself to speaking to audiences in Europe and the US about opportunities in building networks in the marine sector. In 2015, he co-founded a sister cluster, the New England Ocean Cluster to drive new ideas in the marine industry and has also been heavily involved as one of its co-founders in establishing Codland.

with plans to fully utilise byproducts from north Atlantic cod. The cluster also initiated the North Atlantic Marine Cluster Project, which works to increase relations between ocean and marine industries in the North Atlantic. In 2013, Thór Sigfússon founded Collagen, with the aim of using fish skin to create marine collagen. In 2016 he co-founded Hlemmur Food Hall, Sjó-Food Hall and Reykjavik Foods.

INSIGHT The Future of Fishing

SEAFOOD SECTOR FACES BREXIT UNCERTAINTY No matter what the final Brexit scenario is, it’s vital that every effort is taken to ensure that trade disruptions in seafood supply chains are kept to a minimum, writes Jason Holland At this very moment, the uncertainty surrounding Brexit and what the future relationship of the UK and the EU (and indeed third-countries) will look like once the two have parted is at an unprecedented level. However, from the seafood economy’s perspective, all the conjecture about the various exit scenarios is forcing its various component sectors to plan for every eventuality.

Delegates at the recent 2019 Norwegian-UK Summit in London, hosted by the Norwegian Seafood Council, heard that while nobody knows what sort of package will accompany the separation, there is a lot of contingency planning taking place at political and industry levels. Much of this is geared towards coping with the so-called “no-deal” Brexit, which is the scenario most feared in seafood circles.

“Right now, the UK government is engaging with partner countries. There are negotiations happening and the hope is to transition these to free trade agreements (FTAs). The idea is to disrupt trade as little as possible if there is a Brexit no-deal situation,” explained Ivan Bartolo, regulatory affairs advisor at Seafish.

The UK is also compiling a new tariff schedule that will give it the power to set its own tariffs in the future, and Bartolo expects this to closely mirror the current one deployed by the EU – “perhaps with a few minor tweaks.”

Legislation covering future quotas is also being prepared, while arrangements are also being made to cover any potential implementation period.

“Hopefully there will be some transitional, bridging arrangements so that on day-one after Brexit, the whole situation doesn’t collapse,” he said. “We don’t know where we are with these trade agreements, but we can say that properformed FTAs take years. If there is no-deal and there are no trade arrangements then all imports into this country will face full tariffs.”

While all UK seafood businesses have been preparing for nodeal in a raft of different ways, Bartolo said that from his discussions with industry, most of these efforts have focused on making sure that they know what the possible effects are of the worst case no-deal will be.

“Some of them I know have been stockpiling very slightly, nothing huge. Some of them have been looking at alternative import routes so that they can avoid Dover and the Channel Tunnel, for example.”

DIFFERENT AGENDAS The two largest facets of the seafood industry – the catching and processing sectors – are in no doubt about what would constitute the most workable divorce packages for their respective stakeholders.

With EU member state vessels annually landing around 760,000 tonnes of fish valued at £540 million that were caught in UK waters, compared with the 90,000 tonnes worth £110 million landed by UK vessels from member states’ waters, the principal want for fishers is for the UK to become an independent coastal state with full control of its waters and to have a fairer share of fishing opportunities. Processors,

meanwhile, need access to markets to continue with tariff and border disruptions kept to a minimum. This is primarily due to the UK market’s heavy dependence on imported fish, and any barriers to trade are sure to add complexity, cost, time and could impact product quality.

Andrew Kuyk, director general with the Provision Trade Federation (PTF) and representative of the UK Seafood Industry Alliance, which comprises many leading UK seafood processors and traders, told the summit that while access to water and access to market should be separate negotiation processes, it’s highly probable that they will get linked and that there will be trade-offs and bargaining as a result.

“From a financial perspective, fish processing is where the money is in this industry. We generate wealth and added value; we employ more people than the catching sector; and we are the link between the fish in the sea and getting it on people’s plates,” he said.

The UK is in fact the second-largest processor in the Union with a total turnover of around £4.2 billion. It also employs some 14,000 people, a large number of whom are EU nationals.

8 “We have this paradox in the UK, where about twothirds of what we eat is imported and about 80% of what we catch is exported because they are different fish,” Andrew Kuyk said

ESSENTIAL IMPORTS Feeding into the processing sector, the UK imports around 1.3 million tonnes of seafood with an estimated value of £2.6 billion, while its exports amount to 891,000 tonnes worth £1.5 billion.

Kuyk highlighted that the UK’s reliance on imports mimics that of the EU, which is the world’s largest fish importer and relies on global supply chains to meet nearly three-quarters of its total consumption needs. For example, total EU whitefish catches are just 500,000 tonnes, compared to a total market need of 3 million tonnes.

Most UK imports come from outside the EU, with Norway, for example, supplying 28% of the cod, 40% of the haddock and 45% of the salmon consumed by Brits.

“So, from a trade and consumer point of view, who catches what in UK or EU waters is really not the issue. Maintaining the existing trade flows is essential to meeting consumer needs across the EU and maintaining market share against competing protein foods,” he said.

“I think there is an assumption in the fishing industry that because you catch, trade and market fish – it’s the only game in town. But if you go into any supermarket, certainly in the UK, fish is competing particularly with chicken but [also with] other ready meals and increasingly non-animal products with the drift towards veganism and flexitarian. So, the idea that meat, fish or dairy have a guaranteed place in the market – that is something that’s under challenge.”

“And if there are interruptions in supply or if there are doubts about management policies that lead to further concerns about overfishing or irresponsible fishing, that will damage the market image and that will switch people away from eating fish.

“The key point is that even in the most optimistic of assumptions, the EU will remain a deficit market for the foreseeable future and even assuming the UK becomes a sovereign coastal state, has a 200-mile limit and that UK vessels have larger catch shares compared to foreign boats – all of that and even doubling cod and haddock catches in the UK leaves us at best supplying just 20% of our own market and probably not even that.”

Kuyt also stressed that the bulk of species that the UK boats are landing – pelagic species like herring and mackerel, and various varieties of shellfish – are not favoured by UK consumers.

This is why they are exported in the first place, he said.

8 “The idea is to disrupt trade as little as possible if there is a Brexit no-deal situation,” said Ivan Bartolo, regulatory affairs advisor at Seafish

“We have this paradox in the UK, where about two-thirds of what we eat is imported and about 80% of what we catch is exported because they are different fish.”

Another crucial issue is that UK processing in its present guise isn’t tailored towards first-stage processing or to the species being landed by local vessels, said Kuyk. This is because a lot of the imported supplies that the sector is sourcing have already undergone some sort of processing and commonly arrive at facilities as a frozen block, headed, gutted, filleted etc.

Therefore, if the industry was to start filleting and processing the increased UK catch from scratch, it would need many more skilled workers than it currently has at its disposal.

“This is why we are very closely allied with our EU colleagues in wanting things to be as close to normal as possible,” he said.

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

FULL TRAWL DOOR CONTROL FROM THE WHEELHOUSE The first full-scale trials with a pair of controllable Poseidon doors developed by Icelandic company Polar Trawl Doors has shown that the concept works It has been a long process for Atli Jósafatsson to develop the Poseidon doors, overcoming a number of setbacks on the way, and culminating in full-scale trials with the doors on a trip with Greenlandic pelagic vessel Polar Amaroq fishing blue whiting at the beginning of the year.

The Poseidon doors have a row of wings in the upper and lower section of each door, which can be angled to open or close the gaps between them, with each section controlled independently, providing the capacity to generate downward or upward forces to drop or lift the doors as required.

“Each wing can be controlled independently, so that makes it possible to control the trawl’s position in the water, vertically and horizontally. So closing up the upper wings to reduce the flow through the top section increases the pressure on the lower section, which lifts the door,” Atli Jósafatsson explained.

Communication between the doors and the wheelhouse is via an acoustic link, and developing this was the final piece of the package as the controllable wings had already been shown to function as required in previous trials, including with a smaller pair of Poseidon doors on board groundfish trawler Vestmannaey some time ago.

This time Polar Amaroq sailed with a pair of 14m2 Poseidon doors for fishing grounds south-east of the Faroes, and such was skipper Geir Zoëga’s confidence in the pair of Poseidons, that these were the only doors on board for this trip.

“I’m really impressed with what these doors can do. This is the future and these are easily the best steerable trawl doors on the market today,” he said at the end of the trip as Polar Amaroq docked in the east coast port of Norðfjörður with a full load of blue whiting after a trip in bad weather and patchy fishing. He added that even though there were a few teething troubles with the prototype Poseidons, he had every intention of keeping the doors on board for the next trip.

“These doors offer endless possibilities. We can adjust the wings to reduce or increase the square when towing against or with the current. They can be angled up or down as required, so this offers possibilities for towing both on the bottom and just below the surface,” he said.

“We can see the wings altering the flow of water through the doors and making them work exactly as they should do. It makes the doors much easier to manage, especially as we can lift one door to come about and turn faster.”

A satisfied Atli Jósafatsson commented that it has been a long process since the ideas behind these steerable doors first began to take shape, and this has brought together a number of different technologies.

“It’s a huge step in a long development process towards a new generation of trawl doors that can be controlled remotely from the wheelhouse,” he said.

“The doors work well and have performed as expected.

There have been a few glitches and these still need to be fixed, but there are no major hurdles to overcome,” he said and added that the faith in these doors shown by skipper Geir Zoëga and fishing companies Síldarvinnslan hf and Polar Pelagic AS have been one of the key factors in the development of these doors, while Rannís has also played a part in supporting the development.

“This is the future. This is what trawl doors are going to be,” Geir Zoëga commented.

Four panel codends, made in netting with a T90 configuration and rigged on Quicklines, have led to higher quality catches for one of HB Grandi’s fresher trawlers.

These split codends are made by Hampiðjan to a design by master netmaker Hermann Guðmundsson, manager at the company’s Akureyri branch. Constructed in 155mm netting and fitted to a Hemmer trawl, and with the whole rig made in T90, there has been a noticeable increase in quality as every fish in the catch is alive as the codends are hauled onto the deck.

“We used split codends in the past and in general these have worked very well. But there could be problems with unusually large hauls, although today that’s not something that should take you by surprise. Fishing gear technology has advanced so far now and the catch sensors and sounders give a very clear indication of the fish entering the trawl,” said Akurey’s skipper Eiríkur Jónsson.

“With the introduction of T90 netting from Hampiðjan and the Quicklines we saw a real change in these innovative codends. The bag opens much better than we were used to, which lets the smaller fish escape alive and the quality difference was unmistakeable in comparison to the traditional two-panel codends. With fourpanel codends in T90 and split codends rigged

Eiríkur Jónsson said that Akurey’s crew, most of whom were previously with him on board Sturlaugur H Böðvarsson, have had a long and successful co-operation with Hampiðjan and with Hermann Guðmundsson.

“The trawls we use are also Hermann’s design.

These are Hemmer 470 trawls, with T90 netting throughout. These trawls and the split codends have worked out very well for us, and from what I hear, there are others who are interested in switching to these codends,” Eiríkur Jónsson said. on Quicklines, there is even more of a difference, in my opinion.”

He said that the codends were delivered to Akurey last autumn and he immediately saw that the wide-open meshes mean that there is less pressure on the fish.

“In a standard haul all the fish come on board alive and that makes a huge difference to the quality,” he said, adding that the only change that has been made is to extend the codends from the original 16.50 metres to 20 metres, the length the crew are used to working with.

Switching to a pair of Type 23 Bluestream semi-pelagic trawl doors has boosted gear spread by an impressive 50 metres, reports Tonni Karlsen, skipper of Norwegian trawler Ole-Arvid Nergård.

“These powerful doors are giving us a much greater spread without any reduction in catch rates, while retaining normal, or even reduced, fuel consumption,” he said during the first trip with the new doors.

Twin-rigger Ole-Arvid Nergård operates in the Barents Sea, in the Svalbard zone and off the Norwegian coast, fishing mainly for cod, saithe, haddock, redfish and shrimp. Co-skipper Tonni Karlsen works with a crew of 17 on trips of around five weeks, aiming to fill the 54 metre trawler’s 420 tonne capacity refrigerated fishroom, and it’s important that this target is hit within the expected trip duration.

“It was important that when we considered changing our trawl door supplier that we didn’t sacrifice any catch-per-tow even if the spread was improved,” he explained.

“But we certainly have no concerns with these new Type 23 Bluestream doors as they have increased our gear spread by an amazing 50 metres and without losing any catching capacity in the process,” he said, adding that with the new doors, the vessel’s fuel consumption has not increased and, if a

nything, is even slightly less than with their previous doors.

“What is fantastic about these doors is the fact that they start to square the moment you start shooting away the gear, so when the trawl

which introduced high-efficiency foil technology that forces water through the foils to generate an exceptionally powerful spreading force, combined with a lower overall drag from the doors.

According to Ole Kjærgaard, a great deal of work has been dedicated to this development project, followed by a long spell of testing, improvement and troubleshooting to ensure that the new doors were exactly right.

“We were very satisfied after the first trials when we saw that these Type 23 Bluestream doors show their real value,” he said, commenting that while it’s satisfying to see successful trials, positive comments from a skipper working with these doors under tough conditions is what proves this technology works and is here to stay.

through the duration of the tow without any problems,” he concluded.

Despite all the fanfare over the Type 23 Bluestream trawl doors, this latest achievement in a long line of success stories comes as no surprise to Ole Kjærgaard, who has been with Thyborøn Trawldoor for more than 25 years.

“When fuel prices are not to the fisherman’s advantage, it’s nice for us to be the ones who can provide a fully functional and more economical solution without any drop in catch rates,” he said.

“If we replace a 10m2 pair of our own well-known Type 14s with a 9m2 pair of Type 23 Bluestreams, we see up to 50% less towing resistance, without any bottom friction or contact. At the same time, they produce same trawl spread,” he said, adding that Thyborøn Trawldoor's consistent investment in development of the trawl doors is resulting in more efficient trawl systems.

“More spread with less resistance has always been our target,” he said, and commented that the combination of high-quality materials and craftsmanship ensures less maintenance. The Type 23 Bluestream doors are the result of the company’s ongoing investment in R&D, and follow the experience gained with the Type 14 doors and the Type 22 Bluestream design

BATTERIES FOR NETHERLANDS’ MOST SUSTAINABLE FISHING VESSEL The Urk-based Ekofish Group has set itself the goal of building the most sustainable fishing vessel possible, selecting Pon Power and EST-Floattech as suppliers to reach that target

8 Spes Nova UK-205 is under construction at the Maaskant yard in Stellendam and owners Ekofish aim for it to be the most sustainable fishing vessel possible

Twin rigger/flyshooter Spes Nova UK-205, currently under construction at Maaskant in Stellendam, was developed in collaboration with Vripack Naval Architects. The vessel will be fitted with three identical diesel-electric Caterpillar generator sets, coupled to a power management system with a lithium battery set-up.

An intelligent energy regeneration system has also been developed for functions such as shooting warp from the winches.

According to EST-Floattech, Spes Nova will be entirely emissions-free, both when alongside and while underway, due to the battery capacity on board. This combination of features is expected to make it the most powerful, efficient, and sustainable vessel of its class.

“This ship was different right from the first drafts. The ship will have to work for the next 20 years, use as little energy as possible, and be as safe as possible for the crew,” said Louwe de Boer of Ekofish.

“At the moment, we’re still burning a half litre of fuel per kilo of fish caught, and we have to bring that down to a maximum of 0.3 litres. To reach that goal, we deliberately chose not to chart a course with the same old ship- or trawler architects. So we started from scratch. That’s why we asked yacht designer Vripack Naval Architects to provide the design, and we approached Pon Power for the generator sets and ESTFloattech for their energy storage solutions.”

“Ekofish asked us to help them build the most sustainable vessel possible,” explained Pon Power’s marine business account manager Noud Seegers.

“At Pon Power and Caterpillar, we lead the way in making fishing more sustainable, so we thought it would be a good challenge to take on with our sister company, battery builder ESTFloattech. We looked at several options for the power supply in

the early stages of the process. We eventually chose three identical C18 generator sets with a capacity of 565ekW at 60Hz, plus a C4.4 ACERT harbour set providing 99ekW at 50Hz.” This fully parallel installation is coupled to a power management system with batteries, which offers several advantages, such as allowing the skipper to start with a different generator set each week.

“Whenever more power is needed, then a second or third generator set can be called for. And when the vessel falls under a certain load factor, then one of the generator sets will shut off automatically,” Noud Seegers said.

“It’s a smart system that allows us to make the optimal use of the generator sets, in combination with the batteries. That means each individual engine has fewer running hours per year, which is maintenance-friendly and helps cut costs. But it also helps conserve fuel. We don’t have any influence on the price of fuel, but we do have a say in how much we burn.”

EST-Floattech account manager Koen Boerdijk added that a further benefit of this power system is that batteries can store electricity regenerated when the fishing gear is shot away.

“All of those features combined will make the Spes Nova one of the most sustainable and innovative ships in the world. It will emit less CO2 and use less fossil fuel, because we can use the batteries to compensate for peak load – what we call peak shaving,” he said.

“By using the batteries, you allow the engines to operate more efficiently within its optimal power band. Plus, you can use fewer engines, or smaller ones. When operating under electric power, as is the case when moored or sailing in the harbour, you don’t use any fuel at all, and you have no emissions. The batteries are also maintenance-free. So there are plenty of plus points – and we’re therefore very proud of this project.”

ELECTRIC PROPULSION GETS RELEVANT FOR FISHING While many types of ship have been using diesel-electric propulsion for many years now, few fishing vessels have so far gone in this direction.

According to Hallvard L. Slettevoll, CEO of Stadt, a Norwegian company with a thirty-year track record of developing, manufacturing and installing seagoing AC motor drives, process controls and integrated electric propulsion systems, with new regulations limiting the use of heavy fuel oil and more stringent emission regulations kicking in, environmental thinking is forcing its way in to the entire shipping industry, fishing included.

“A ship with, for instance, Stadt dieselelectric propulsion, will cope easily with environmental issues, while also saving fuel.

Noise levels will be significantly reduced, and reliable operation brought to a level never seen on fishing vessels with one main engine driving the propeller,” he said.

A solution such as a typical Stadt Lean Propulsion arrangement, consists of four diesel generator sets, or LNG gensets, with no auxiliary generators needed.

A ship with for instance Stadt diesel-electric propulsion, will cope easily with environmental issues, while also saving fuel 8 A typical STADT Lean Propulsion arrangement with diesel generator sets or LNG gensets – with no auxiliary generators needed

“The generators start and stop automatically, as the load demand varies. So at low activity, only one of the four is running , and this can power every requirement onboard, from galley to propeller,” he said, explaining that all power for the entire vessel goes via a main switchboard, divided in two independent sections. Two electric motors drive the propeller, providing highly reliable and efficient operation. Each of the two AC motors and their

drives have redundant windings and power.

“So this propeller will never stop at sea,” Hallvard Slettevoll said, and commented that this Stadt Lean Propulsion system has so far been delivered to four Norwegian purse seiners and to thirty vessels in other parts of the world.

“The patented Stadt AC Lean Drive technology is free from electromagnetic and acoustic noise, making it very suitable for fishing and research vessels,” he said.

CETUS AS OPTS FOR ABC POWERPLANT Less than two years after last ordering a new fishing vessel from Fitjar Mek Verksted, Cetus AS went back to both Salt Ship Design and the same yard for the new pelagic vessel Vikingbank.

The 65 metre, 14 metre beam pelagic vessel is due to be delivered in the third quarter of 2020. The owners have worked with Salt’s designers to come up with an effective and environmentally sound fishing vessel, and are using a number of local suppliers to outfit the new Vikingbank.

It is a perfect fit for this highly demanding, heavy-duty market in terms of reliability, durability and low life-cycle cost These include Frydenbø Industri AS, which is delighted that Cetus have decided to opt for an Anglo Belgian Corporation main engine.

The ABC 6DL36 medium-speed engine, with a bore x stroke of 365 mm x 420 mm, will produce 3797kW at 720rpm. The low brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) of only 24 bar ensures a higher reliability and lifetime of the engine. The DL36 is compliant with IMO Tier III emission standards.

“ABC has a long history of providing efficient and reliable solutions for the fishing industry.

FIVE-YEAR PROJECT HAS BOOSTED EU FISH BREEDING European aquaculture is being taken to the next level through technological advances in breeding of six species in Europe

IMPACTS AND RESULTS The goal of Fishboost has been to increase the efficiency and profitability of European aquaculture by enhancing all six species through advanced breeding methods.

Many breeding programmes in Europe have only selected for growth and other traits related to production efficiency.

Fishboost has demonstrated the potential of also selecting for better disease resistance. For example, the partners have estimated the heritability of the main diseases for the species and mapped the genes behind them.

Fishboost has developed important tools such as gene maps and thousands of genomic markers, which show where on the DNA there is variation between animals. For example, genomic markers are used in genomic selection, which is more accurate than traditional breeding. In the Fishboost populations, accuracy using genomic selection was up to 22% higher. But the method is expensive. The partners in Fishboost have developed ways to reduce the cost of using this method with the aim of increasing the use of genomic selection in European breeding programmes.

BETTER SELECTION Fishboost has also developed better selection and phenotyping methods to increase production efficiency. The Norwegian industrial partner Salmobreed sees a potential for knowledge transfer between species: “Much has been done to develop indirect methods for measuring feed utilisation and production efficiency on several of the species in Fishboost. The research done on rainbow trout has a particularly high transfer value to salmon,” said Haavard Bakke, project manager at Salmobreed.

Partners in Fishboost have worked to optimize the design and

The EU Fishboost project started in 2014 with the goal of improving European aquaculture for six species of farmed fish; Atlantic salmon, common carp, European seabass, gilthead seabream, rainbow trout and turbot. This Nofima-led project concluded in January this year. Scientists from fourteen research institutions, eleven companies and one NGO have studied a wide range of traits and developed tools and technologies to contribute to more balanced, sustainable and longterm profitable breeding programmes.

“Fishboost has contributed to increased awareness in Europe that breeding is an important part of fish farming,” said Anna Sonesson, project coordinator for the EU project.

For example, Fishboost’s industry forum at the Aquaculture Europe conference in 2018 was packed out, and Fishboost has held several highly attended workshops.

Fishboost is one of the last projects granted funding under EU’s seventh framework programme. High requirements were set for dissemination of findings and large geographical spread in the project. The partners in the project have agreed that only the parties that find a result or innovation own it, but that knowledge must be shared.

“This means that no one else in the consortium is allowed to exploit your findings,” Anna Sonesson explained.

profitability of the breeding programme when new traits are included in the breeding objective, taking into account different technological levels, reproduction and biology in the species.

THE WAY FORWARD FOR BREEDING IN AQUACULTURE “I hope and believe that the industry will make use of this knowledge and that it will contribute to higher quality in existing breeding programmes and stimulate the creation of new ones,” Anna Sonesson said, commenting that Nofima and other research partners have written new applications to continue their work, and Nofima has already been awarded two new EU projects in this field.

The partners who took part in FishBoost are Ifremer, IMARES, INIA, INRA, Luke, the University of Edinburgh, the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), the University of Padova, the University of South Bohemia, Wageningen University, Andromeda Group, FMD, FEAP, BMR Genomics, CETGA, Milin Nevez, Geneaqua, Klatryb, LABOGENA, Salmobreed, SYSAAF, VRI and Les Poissons du Soleil.

Scottish wellboat, harvest and service vessel company Johnson Marine Ltd has placed an order for two Racemaster net cleaning robot systems from Norwegian technology company MPI (Multi Pump Innovation).

The latest order for two latest Racemaster 3.0. units comes in addition to two units that Johnson Marine acquired in August 2018.

JOHNSON MARINE ORDERS NET CLEANING ROBOTS 8 Johnson Marine has ordered two more Racemaster net cleaning robot systems

Johnson Marine, which is now part of the newly merged company Aquaship A/S, is delighted with the performance of the new Racemaster cleaners “There is nothing better than having renowned aquaculture service players returning to place additional orders. It confirms that our net cleaning robot lives up to Johnson Marine and their clients’ expectations and strict requirements for reliability, operating cost and cleaning ability,” said MPI’s CEO Kåre Myrvåg.

The Racemaster 3.0. is one of the fastest net cleaners in the world. A cleaning width of 1.9 metres and four drums enables the robot to stretch the nets, which in turn improves climbing and cleaning performance and

manoeuvrability on slack nets and during challenging conditions. The robot’s large discs come with multiple options for nozzle settings,

which have resulted in further improved cleaning capacity and quality. In addition, MPI has designed the robot for easy access, which allows operators to maintain it on site without the need for an external technician.

Johnson Marine is the largest Scottish-based on-site net washing company. The company operates eight dedicated net washing systems, with an in-house engineering team experienced in maintaining the systems. The company’s head office is located at Vidlin in Shetland.

Johnson Marine also operates nine wellboats and seven aquaculture service vessels all over Europe.

KEEPING IT SIMPLE WITH AUTOMATIC FEEDING Why make things complex when they can be simple? That’s the question engineer Sébastien Termet asked himself when he was approached by a fish farmer to come up with a feeding system

8 Alexis Cleret’s fish farm at Monchel-sur-Canche in northern France was the first to be fitted with Westair’s Multizone system

The result was the first Westair product – built in his garage – and the customer was delighted with the unique solution he came up. That was in 2017 and now Westair’s workshops in Brittany designs and builds systems for the delivery of a variety of substances via pipes, along with equipment for dosing, cleaning and pipe inspection, as well as providing after-sales service.

The Multizone automatic feeding system for aquaculture is a direct development of that very first system built in Sébastien’s garage, the key to which is the unique Multiway three-way valve that makes it possible to route a variety of powders and liquids through a network to deliver feed in precise quantities as required, based around the concept of real-time feeding.

Feed passes from storage silos to the DosAir dosing management system, which routes all feed along a single pipeway fitted with Multiway valves, leading to each cage or tank in the farm, with options for one or more feeders for each tank.

“To keep the system clean, we came up with the CleanPipe.

This is a mechanical crawler that passes through the pipes in between feed deliveries, and it automatically removes condensation, or any sludge left in the pipes, making sure that they remain clean all the time,” said Westair’s Henri Herledan, who joined the company as its sales director, before taking over as CEO, allowing founder Sébastien Termet to concentrate on his real passion, focusing on the technical side of the business and developing further innovation The ideas that go into Westair’s systems don’t end there, as the package includes a control and management system based

around a single PC coupled to a pocket controller that can be used to stop and start feeding processes.

“The touchscreen PC is loaded with all the software needed to manage the whole site, while the pocket controller is also ideal for remote locations,” Henri Herledan said.

“There are also remote control options and site managers can control, monitor and check systems and equipment status via remote PC, tablet or smartphone,” he said and explained that the Multizone system collates data from a variety of sensors 8 The control screen of the DosAir dosing management system

throughout an aquaculture installation, measuring oxygen and NH4 levels, temperature and water turbidity, and it communicates constantly with the feeder software, interrupting the feed process and flagging up an alert if parameters are exceeded.

“The intention is to replicate natural feeding patterns as far as possible, and to minimise losses of both feed and fish, and we aim to minimise power consumption while also being able to offer consultation with our partners to provide options for utilising renewables, such as solar, wind and hydro-electric power sources,” he said.

A number of Multizone installations are currently underway or under consideration by fish farmers in several countries, each of which aims at building a new installation or extending an existing one, upgrading production facilities to improve hygiene, protecting both animal and human health, and raising the quality of each farm’s production.

Alexis Cleret’s fish farm in Monchel-sur-Canche in northern France was the first to be fitted out with a Multizone system, and the results made an immediate impression.

“Sébastien Termet came to see me to show me diagrams of the Multiway valve. I was impressed with the 3D presentation. I thought the valve looked reliable, and as there is only one straight pipe the pellet will not degrade,” he said.

“I liked Sebastien’s approach. He clearly didn’t come to see me to sell his valve. He came to find out what he could do to adapt his ideas. He wanted to make a system for us fish farmers and was making a big effort to meet a real need. My feeling at the time was that this could turn out to be a good system, and Sébastien explained about a new generation system with a flow of information, with the sensors gathering data and feeding it to the software. Any fault is detected and can be managed, which makes this system unique.”

Sébastien had begun testing his prototype in a fish farm in Brittany but the trials were restricted by a water shortage, so Alexis Cleret offered to do the trials at his farm.

“It was very impressive that Sébastien was determined to come up with a machine that was as simple as possible and which required a minimum of maintenance. He was determined to make a market-friendly system that worked well. ‘Between us, we’ll find the right solution,’ was what Sébastien Termet told me,” Alexis Cleret said, adding that bringing the fish farmers and engineers together was the way to develop the new-generation automatic feeding system that had been envisaged right from the outset.

Alexis Cleret’s location is a busy one with numerous regular deliveries taking place and a constant flow of leisure fishermen making their way through the site, particularly during the summer months. Installing the Multizone system has simplified working practices significantly and prior to this, feeding had been highly time-consuming.

“It reduces our manual workload,” he explained. “We spent a lot of time handling and transporting food in small vehicles or in wheelbarrows, depending on the location on the farm, while the Multizone system transports the granulate very quickly and without degrading it. Generally, the fish farmer has the time to feed the fish only two to three times per day whereas the Multizone feeds three, four or five times per day if necessary, spread over time and in a precisely defined sequence. This means that the oxygen consumption in each basin is optimised,” he said.

“Previously, we did not feed on Sunday, which was to give ourselves a break, But this wasn’t ideal for the fish. Now the machine feeds automatically and we can also take it easy on Sundays.”

Philippe Jorgensen, one of the owners of Abbeville-based Jorgensen Piscicultures in northern France, one of the largest producers of its kind, has been taking a very close look at the Multizone system.

“The valve and the single pipe are what interest me,” he said.

“This is a true three-way valve, and it’s a genuine technological innovation. It’s compact and easy to change if any problems occur. I can see that there are many advantages to this system.

Feed distribution is simultaneous across the site and standardised. It provides the capability to feed more frequently, and the system as a whole is modest in size.”

Jorgensen’s interest is in optimising the conversion ratio, and in freeing up time that could instead be devoted to maintenance and management.

“I’m convinced that Multizone has the potential to help achieve these goals,” he said.

This automatic feeding system reduces the labour associated with manual infeed, according to Henri Herledan.

“We are currently working on a micro-dose feeding process for hatcheries, rearing, laboratories from 150μ à 1000μ pellets,” he added.

“We envisage that the Multiway system will be used in a variety of industry sectors, including food, alcohol, cosmetics, pharmaceutical industries, oil & gas, and others. It makes it possible to streamline industrial processes by reducing the amount of pipework needed. The system is also extremely easy to clean, and so it meets even the strictest hygiene requirements,” Henri Herledan said.

“Anywhere there’s a pipe, Multiway can be installed.”

PROTECTIVE NETTING REDUCES ‘LAST RESORT’ SEAL CULLS Scottish Sea Farms has seen a reduction in the number of seals culled to protect farmed salmon stocks, latest figures show, following ongoing investment in rigid new pen netting

8 New rigid pen netting installations have been rolled out at Scottish Sea Farms locations, such as in the Lismore area on the west coast of Scotland

The previously unpublished figures show that the company, which has 45 salmon farms around Scotland’s west coast and islands, culled 11 seals under licence at nine farms to protect its salmon stocks during the reporting period 1st February 2018 to 31st January 2019.

This is down 31% and 35% on 2017 (16 seal culls) and 2016 (17 seal culls) respectively. At the company’s seven farms in Orkney, where the new protective Sapphire Seal Pro nets supplied by W&J Knox and with Gael Force Fusion sinker tube systems were first trialled in 2016 before being rolled out, there have been no seal culls in almost three years.

According to Scottish Sea Farms’ Head of Fish Health, Ralph Bickerdike, seal culling is the last resort option taken by farmers to protect the salmon in their care and is carried out under licence only when seals persist beyond all other preventative measures.

“Our priority has been to install Seal Pro nets at those farms with a historic seal challenge. The speed with which we can do this however, is dictated in large part by nature as there are limited opportunities in the growing cycle where we can install the new nets without risking stress to our salmon. The ideal time is ahead of each new crop,” he explained.

To date, Seal Pro netting has been installed at 21 farms at a cost in excess of £4.2 million, with plans for a further nine farms, specifically those facing a seal challenge, to be equipped in 2019 and 2020 at the start of each new crop cycle.

However, with counts indicating that the seal population in West Scotland has been increasing substantially over the last ten years, and each seal eating between 3-7kg of food per day depending on species, the pressure on available food sources has never been greater.

“On occasion, we have installed Seal Pro netting at one farm only to see seals relocate to another farm where there had been no prior seal challenge,” Ralph Bickerdike said.

“This, we believe, accounted for five of the eleven seals culled in the last reporting period and is further reason why we

26 | MARCH 2019

will continue to roll-out the new netting until each and every farm is protected.”

With traditional nylon nets, a hungry seal will push its snout against the soft twine in the hope that salmon will swim close enough for it to grab. In contrast, Seal Pro netting has an altogether tougher, more rigid surface which helps deter seals and, in turn, improves fish welfare.

Securing the nets in place is an intricate system of individual weights placed at five metre intervals or a circular sinker tube at the net base, which increases tension, prevents the netting from flexing and reduces potential entry points for seals.

Now being widely adopted across the sector, protective netting such as Seal Pro nets along with the use of acoustic deterrent devices has contributed to an 81% drop in the number of seals culled by salmon farmers since 2011 – with the ambition being zero culls.

In addition to helping protect local marine life, Seal Pro netting also has several environmental benefits. Unlike traditional nylon nets which are treated with a copper-based anti-foulant to protect against marine growth in the same way that the hulls of boat or ships are, Seal Pro nets require no such treatment.

Engineered from high density polyethylene, they have a stronger frame that can withstand regular cleaning in-situ and a smoother surface that is harder for marine organisms to adhere to and is also easier to clean. This removes the need for copper, one of the heavy metals naturally found in trace amounts in marine and freshwater environments, helping preserve the balance of the surrounding habitat.

“It has been a long-standing goal of ours to use zero copper on our nets, taking us beyond SEPA compliance, and the continued roll-out of Seal Pro netting takes us a step closer to achieving that goal,” said Jim Gallagher, managing director of Scottish Sea Farms.

“We’ve also invested significantly in new technology that means each Seal Pro net can be cleaned in just over an hour, ensuring a pristine growing environment for our salmon.”

GAEL FORCE GROUP’S RECRUITMENT DRIVE The businesses acquired in 2018 by Gael Force Group and have since been working together within a larger group, accelerating the development of new innovative projects and conducting R&D, and have been merged into the group.

This means new company names and logos as Oban-based Fusion Marine becomes Gael Force Fusion and Corpach Boatbuilding Company is renamed Gael Force Boatbuilding, while the company also started the year by undertaking its largest ever recruitment drive with up to 40 new positions being required over a range of job roles.

These positions are spread across a number of locations, including Oban and Corpach, as well as Inverness and Forres, where various roles and a range of skillsets are currently being sought. The primary driver for increasing its workforce is greater demand for Gael Force’s range of aquaculture equipment, including offshore pens, concrete and steel feed barges, and marine technology systems.

According to group marketing manager Marc Wilson, the name changes represent the ongoing seamless integration of both Fusion and Corpach into the Gael Force Group and highlights the Group’s aim to demonstrate its

ability to provide end-to-end product and service supply to the aquaculture sector.

“They will also adopt new Gael Force style logos demonstrating the integral part both business units form within the Group,” he said.

“Both companies have been an excellent fit within the Group, sharing in the common values we believe to be vital in achieving our vision and mission, and ultimately enabling us to provide our customers with a first class competitive

AKER BIOMARINE LAUNCHES FLAGSHIP KRILL HUNTER Norwegian company Aker BioMarine has launched its flagship purpose-built krill catching and processing vessel, christened at a ceremony in the port of Ålesund following its delivery by Vard The 129.60 metre LOA, 23 metre beam Antarctic Endurance is the result of a two-year process of design, development and construction, with the hull built at the Vard Tulcea yard in Romania before being brought to Norway for completion.

“We have used all our experience and knowledge in the work to realise our ambitions and operational needs for a vessel of this type. This is something we could only have dreamed of when we started our own adventure in Antarctica more than a decade ago,” said Matts Johansen, CEO of Aker BioMarine.

“Antarctic Endurance is designed and engineered specifically for our operation, she is energy saving and equipped with a range of environmentally friendly technologies implemented through the involvement and input of our experienced crew. This is a unique vessel in every way and our very first specially built krill vessel.”

The new ship takes its name from the original Endurance, taken to the Southern Ocean by British polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. The honourable Alexandra Shackleton, the granddaughter of Sir Ernest Shackleton, christened the new vessel at the ceremony in Ålesund.

“This is a fantastic day and it means a great deal to me that my grandfather and his crew's heritage and heroism are recognised in this way. Antarctic Endurance becomes a reminder and a symbol of the legacy of Norway and Britain sharing and binding us together. My grandfather Sir Ernest Shackleton got his vessel, Endurance, built in Sandefjord, from Norway, and now there is a new vessel named Endurance built in Norway on the way to Antarctica,” Alexandra Shackleton commented.

‘‘

My grandfather Sir Ernest Shackleton got his vessel, Endurance, built in Sandefjord, from Norway, and now there is a new vessel named Endurance built in Norway on the way out to Antarctica Antarctic Endurance has been built at a cost of NoK1.1 billion (US$140 million) “Today we are proud shipbuilders at Vard with Antarctic Endurance ready for her debut season. This is a unique project and in cooperation with Aker BioMarine, we have solved a number of challenges to deliver what we believe is a vessel that sets a completely new standard for the industry,” said Vard’s Fredrik Mordal Hessen.

In addition to meeting the requirements of Aker BioMarine's operational activities in fishing for krill, the vessel has been designed and equipped for maximum energy efficiency. Through a number of innovative processes and technologies on board, Antarctic Endurance is claimed to be 30% more environmentallyfriendly in comparison to conventional fishing vessels.

28 | MARCH 2019

Key requirements during the design process were for a hull with low resistance, providing good steaming capabilities, along with low fuel consumption, good seakeeping qualities and manoeuvrability, as well as good stability. An environmentally friendly design with minimal emission was also high on the agenda, as well as a high standard of comfortable accommodation.

The main engine is a 6720kW MAK 12VM32, plus there is a 3300kW MAK 6M32 auxiliary engine, plus a pair of Cat 32s and a Cat 18 emergency/harbour set. Rolls-Royce supplied the rudder and main propulsion gear, as well as the tunnel thruster and azimuthing thruster.

Optimar has supplied Antarctic Endurance’s krill processing deck.

Deck equipment comes from Aukra Maritime, which supplied two deck and two discharging cranes, two transverse and four beam cranes for cargo handling and one beam crane for the fishing gear store, while Rapp Marine supplied the trawl winch, windlass, mooring and auxilairy winches, as well as the hose and net drum.

TWIN-RIGGER JOINS FRASERBURGH PRAWN FLEET Skipper Ian Duthie brought the new Parkol-built Uberous FR-50 home to Fraserburgh following fishing trials carried out off Whitby, reports Dave Moore The fully shelterdecked Uberous was built for Ian Duthie in partnership with his father Charles Duthie and Uberous LLP

by Parkol Marine Engineering, and is the fourth new fishing vessel completed by the yard in 2018. Uberous replaces its thirteen-year-old predecessor of the same name, which is now fishing as Zephyr BF-601 for Gardenstown owners.

The new trawler is expected to work six to seven day trips on North Sea grounds before landing into Fraserburgh, where the vessel’s catches of prawns are processed by the Scottish Fishermen’s Organisation.

“Uberous performed well on trials and gave an encouraging initial indication of her capabilities when we start fishing in considerably deeper water and poorer weather on our usual grounds. This will be the real test, and one I’m confident we will meet head on in the next few months, when winter gales will probably provide opportunities for the boat to prove seakeeping and fishing credentials,” Ian Duthie said.

“At this stage I’m delighted with the level of build quality and finish. A lot of people and companies have contributed to the end result, so sincere thanks to everyone for ensuring that Uberous is completed ahead of the date promised when the order was placed two years ago. The Parkol team deserve particular credit for ensuring a very smooth build programme, during which they were extremely amenable to suggestions.”

Designed by Ian Paton of SC McAllister & Co, Uberous has a 23.95 metre overall length with a beam of 7.80 metres and a moulded depth of 4.25 metres. During the design process particular attention was paid to the bow and underwater stern sections in combining maximum deck space forward, load carrying and vessel trim throughout a trip with propulsion efficiency and seakeeping qualities. The result is a full bulbous bow with a concave raked stem and strongly flared bow section to ensure that the vessel’s beam is carried well forward, while the aft lines sweep up to the transom.

Deri Jones Associates generated the cutting information, with the steel plates cut in Holland and delivered to Parkol in Whitby.

Uberous has a largely conventional layout, with the watertight deckshelter constructed in steel from the deckhouse aft to the transom, and forward in aluminium alloy. A galley and mess area are arranged on the starboard side and accommodation is laid out with a single skipper’s cabin, a two-berth cabin and two three-berth cabins.

The three-drum winch is located in a separate winch room forward on the main deck and this is part of the comprehensive package of deck equipment supplied by EK Marine. The trawl winch has a 35-tonne core pull and is fitted with two-speed drive motors for faster hauling and shooting. Each winch drum is spooled with 250 fathoms of 22mm diameter fibre core wire plus 50 fathoms of backing wire. Warps lead to hooded rollers and across the shelterdeck aft to the blocks on the trawl gantry aft, while the centre wire runs under the wheelhouse floor before being led to a roller built into the trawl gantry directly above the track for the roller.

Two sets of two 12-tonne split net drums are arranged side by side in line with the transom shooting and hauling hatches,

30 | MARCH 2019

the lower edges of which are fitted with large diameter free turning rollers.

A 1.5t/7.8m kinked boom crane fitted with a Thistle 24 inch powerblock is centrally fitted on top of the trawl gantry. Two general purpose 3-tonne Rotzler gear handing winches are fitted on either side of the crane. Codends are taken aboard forward on the starboard side using a 7.50-tonne gilson winch, with catches dropped into the reception hopper via the hydraulically operated hatch.

Catches are sorted and gutted off the sorting table fed by a conveyor from the hopper. There are twin prawn/whitefish washers, along with a rectangular prawn dip tank. Sorted and washed catches are dropped into the fishroom in baskets, and are weighed using a set of electronic Marelec W50/D41 motion compensated electronic scales, from which the data is transferred to the wheelhouse for subsequent reporting using an Ecatch logbook.

The fishroom has capacity for 450 stacker boxes in four tiers aft of the hatch, with an overall capacity for approximately 800 boxes. 500 boxes are usually taken onboard at the start of a trip.

Up to five tonnes of flake ice can be stored in a full height locker on the port side, directly under a 2.50-tonne Geneglace flake ice machine housed in the dedicated refrigeration plant room on the main deck.

Premier Refrigeration fitted chilling to both the forward and aft bulkheads, as well as the deck head, with copper chilling pipes fitted to the vertical bulkheads protected by stainless steel sheeting. Stainless steel 22mm diameter piping is mounted on the deckhead. Automatically controlled from the wheelhouse and set to the required temperature by a digital thermostat, the cooling plant comprises a Bock compressor, Azcue water pump driven by a 3-phase electric motor and a Blitzer seawater condenser.

Uberous is powered by a 494kW Caterpillar C32 ACERT main engine driving a 2500mm diameter four-bladed fixed pitch Wärtsilä propeller turning in a matching Wärtsilä fixed nozzle through a Masson Marine 9.077:1 reduction gearbox. A 213kW Cummins QSL9 auxiliary engine mounted on the port tank top powers the deck machinery hydraulics through a JBJ clutched splitter box driving two Kawasaki load sensing 115kW pumps.

An electrically-driven 35kW power pack is used to drive a load sensing hydraulic towing pump as well as provide backup hydraulic power. This arrangement also enables the deck machinery to be operated in harbour when the crew are either mending or taking on gear while routine maintenance work is carried out on the main engine.

Installation of the hydraulic system was completed in-house
