Pulling the strings page 18 The European Commission Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) report monitoring the progress of the Common Fisheries Policy shows positive trends, as well as noting concerns in some areas.

The report has been welcomed by industry body Europêche, and presented by eNGOs as yet another nail in the fishing sector’s coffin.

Somewhere between the two the conclusion can be reached that progress is being made in the right direction for the majority of commercial stocks, although progress is slow – and the outlook for the Black Sea and Mediterranean remains bleak.

8 The European Commission’s STECF report indicates that stocks are growing in European waters, but flags up concern for the Black Sea and Mediterranean

“On average the stock biomass is increasing and stock status is improving,” the STECF report states.

“Nevertheless, based on the set of assessed stocks included in the analyses, STECF notes that many stocks remain overfished and/or outside safe biological limits, and that progress achieved until 2017 seems too slow to ensure that all stocks will be rebuilt and managed according to FMSY by 2020.”

“WE CAN DO BETTER” – FISH WASTE FOR PROFIT 2019 Held for the first time as a standalone event, Fish Waste For Profit 2019 brought a cross-section of industry expertise to Reykjavík to examine in detail the challenges facing the seafood industry worldwide in making full use of every kilo of protein from the sea.

Chaired by the Iceland Ocean Cluster’s Thór Sigfússon, the conference in Reykjavík hit the ground running and presented those who had travelled to Iceland with a clear picture of the considerable advances already made in utilising what have hitherto been termed ‘waste products,’ as well as highlighting how much progress still needs to be made in this growing field of the seafood industry.

The conference was closed by chairman Thór Sigfússon with the words that, while Iceland is at the forefront in utilisation of fish, “we can do better,” setting

What happened to Best Available Science?

We’re not looking at sunlit uplands quite yet, and neither are we looking at the North Atlantic becoming an aquatic desert

Whatever your feelings and opinions about pulse fishing, or any other fishing or farming method, there has been longstanding agreement that science ought to have the casting vote. Or has that principle been dropped over the side?

The editor of any publication inevitably receives a vast swathe of material churned out by lobby and interest groups on every side of most pressing industry issues, and it’s startling to see how the urgency of much of this stuff has been cranked up.

There are organisations that have taken the idea of spin so completely to heart that virtually any event or development is presented as something far beyond the reality. Every single week there are dire predictions that a particular fishery or activity is hanging on by the skin of its teeth, with reckless government bodies drinking in the Last Chance Saloon as the oceans are about to be emptied.

It goes without saying that the finger of blame is levelled unerringly at the fishing industry.

The STECF report on the progress of the CFP, a staid, worthy document compiled by scientists who endeavour to get as close as they can to the truth, is presented as reason for breaking out the champagne, or as a death knell for an industry and way of life that’s on its knees, depending on which version of the spin you see.

The reality, as is generally the case, is somewhere in between the two.

We’re not looking at sunlit uplands quite yet, and neither are we looking at the North Atlantic becoming an aquatic desert.

Maybe the reason for this lies in the fact that Europe’s fishing industry (for the most part) and the authorities have shifted position and adapted as viewpoints and attitudes have changed. At the same time eNGOs remain welded to the old habit of doing their adversarial, 100% critical best to trash fishermen whenever there’s an opportunity and seem to have decided that instead of some overdue repositioning, the choice instead is to ratchet up the rhetoric.

It’s no surprise that the Dutch demersal sector, about to be stripped of its pulse gear, is smarting at this reversal as spin now seems to carry more weight than science following the campaign that blithely shrugged off any evidence that didn’t suit its pre-set agenda.

The adage of the Best Available Science being the deciding factor appears to have been forgotten in all the excitement, and without this as a cornerstone of policymaking we could find ourselves contemplating an era in which policy in virtually an area of government is dictated purely and simply by whoever has the biggest budget to play with.

Some would say that we’re already there.

EUROPÊCHE WELCOMES STECF CFP PROGRESS REPORT According to fishing industry body Europêche, the report by the European Commission’s scientific body STECF demonstrates that fish populations in European waters have been growing since 2007.

“After years of hard work and sacrifice, we welcome the fact that the fish stocks are growing year after year. The scientific data presented proves a drastic reduction in fishing pressure in the North-East Atlantic which is now stabilising at sustainable levels,” said Europêche managing director Daniel Voces.

“The EU has successfully managed to sustainably regulate the big stocks in EU waters while making good progress on numerous small stocks. This is clearly reflected in the fact that for the Baltic, North Western Waters, South Western waters, and North Sea. For the stocks managed by the EU alone, almost 100% of the landings come from catches fished at the highest level of sustainability in line with MSY policy.”

He said that according to STECF’s findings, there has been a general downward trend in fishing pressure between 2003 and 2017 across the North-East Atlantic, but further efforts are still needed

– especially in the Mediterranean.

The STECF report indicates overall positive trends for many fish stocks across Europe, as well as showing that the proportion of overexploited stocks was reduced almost by half over the last decade.

The proportion of stocks outside safe biological limits

8 Europêche has welcomed evidence that European fish stocks continue to grow

shows a similar downward trend under the same period.

“For the majority of the stocks in the North-East Atlantic, the end of overfishing has become a reality now demonstrated by science,” he said.

PULSE BAN HITS FAITH IN EUROPEAN POLICYMAKING The European Parliament’s vote for a ban on pulse fishing definitively brings an end to this controversial method of fishing that has been in development for two decades, and which has become a central part of the Dutch fleet’s fishing patterns.

“This is a huge blow for primarily the Dutch fishing industry, but foremost, a huge blow for the environment as this method reduces the amount of bycatch by 50%, uses up to 50% less fuel and decreases contact with the seabed by 20%,” commented VisNed’s Pim Visser, commenting that pulse fishing was developed in reaction to societal concerns about impact on the seabed, selectivity and the ambition to decrease fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

“Despite the scientifically proven positive effects all this, pulse fishing will be banned completely from the 1st July 2021 onwards, and in the transition period until 2021 only part of the fleet will be allowed to continue.”

The ban is not only a problem for the fishermen using this technique, each of which invested up to €500.000 in gear and technical adjustments to their vessels, but switching back to traditional gears will lead to increasing fuel costs, pulse gear loses its value and the vessels have to be adjusted and refitted once more for traditional beam trawling, according to VisNed. “Fishermen and their organisations are disappointed and disillusioned by the policymaking system. The

ecological and financial setbacks are significant, but we are also very concerned about the demotivation that we encounter regarding the willingness to innovate and invest in scientific collaboration at this point,” he said.

“NGO’s encouraged the transition to pulse fishing and were very positive about the technique over the past decade, in response to the first positive scientific results.

The NGO’s who supported us and say they still do, have silently witnessed the public slaughter of the fishing technique.

Fishermen feel betrayed by the system, by NGO’s and by politicians, who have disregarded the facts in spite of the coastal communities and natural environment they claim to cherish,” he said.

KEEL LAID FOR SECOND SUPERTRAWLER The Admiralty Shipyards, part of Russia’s largest shipbuilder, United Shipbuilding Corporation, has started construction work on the second of a series of ST-192 trawlers for the Russian Fishery Company.

According to Admiralty Shipyards director Alexander Buzakov, the construction of this series of six trawlers with an option for a further four will mean that 30% of the yard’s orderbook is devoted to civil shipbuilding.

“In 2021 we will deliver the first two trawlers to the customer,” he said.

The keel-laying ceremony was attended by deputy head of the Federal Agency for Fisheries Petr Savchuk, who commented that this was a significant event.

“Today we are present at the laying of one of the largest and most high-tech vessels in the world, which will meet the latest global safety requirements and will be able to operate in non-

waste production mode. The future of the Russian fishing fleet depends on the implementation of this project, and we are confident that the Admiralty shipyards will show their professionalism at all stages of the construction of the series,” he said.

The contract for the construction of a series six large freezer vessels with an option for four more was signed by the yard and the Russian Fishery Company in October 2017 as part off the Russian state programme of investment quotas.

The keel of the first vessel in

the series was laid in January this year and the first two vessels are expected to be launched in March and May next year.

The ST-192 trawlers will have a 108 metre overall length with a 21 metre beam, a 5500m3 refrigerated fishroom capacity and accommodation for a crew of up to 139.

The initial six trawlers are intended for operation in the Russian Far East, primarily pelagic trawling for pollock and herring in the Bering Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk, with factory deck capacity on board for a wide variety of products, including fishmeal and fish oil, pollock roe, minced fish, fillets and surimi.

ANALYSIS

CHALLENGES AND POTENTIAL AT FISH WASTE FOR PROFIT 2019 As chairman Thór Sigfússon put it, in two days the FishWaste for Profit conference covered a lot of ground – everything from fish offal to laxatives and cod castles There’s no doubt that this is an area of the seafood sector that has significant potential – as well as a pressing need to do better – and even though Iceland is already a leader in this sector, there’s still much to be done. He made the point that while Iceland has leading tech companies, the focus always goes to the loin.

“There’s a challenge here,” he said. “We need a game changer, getting people to realise the value of the whole fish.

People meet to discuss how to utilise by-products more effectively, but the talk always turns to how to do the loin better.”

Much of the work currently being done with by-products has been pioneered due to the business and research environment Iceland has developed, as well as by the number of dedicated individuals who have been determined to make things work, even when they have been seen as swimming against the tide.

There are currently more than sixty companies in Iceland working with fish by-products on a variety of forms.

“I’m amazed at the money that’s available for R&D in Iceland, focused on research for the seafood industry,” said Hörður Kristinsson, chief science and innovation officer at Matís. “This is a unique system we have in Iceland.”

“It’s amazing for a small country,” said Húni Jóhannesson, corporate finance specialist at Arctica Finance, examining the way these companies come into existence, and subsequently grow – or not – as well as looking at how successes and failures come about. He commented that frequently those who are pioneers in utilising material that would otherwise become waste are seen as “eccentrics working with smelly garbage,” but pointed out that often these are people working with ingenious solutions to complex problems.

“That’s the reality. It’s important that these ‘eccentrics’ are there to lead the way. We should support and encourage them,” he said.

LEADING BY EXAMPLE Katrín Pétursdóttir of Lýsi has been leading by example for a long time. Lýsi dates back to 1938 and the company has 145 staff – 25 of them working on quality, which highlights the crucial importance placed by the company on quality control and management.

“Everything is used,” she said. “That’s the way we have done this for twenty years. Nothing is wasted. We have full utilisation of all our raw material, and we extract value from everything.”

As a poignant aside, Katrín Pétursdóttir added that Lýsi has also invested in plastic recycling as part of a response to the growing problem of plastic waste.

There’s a future in fish leather, according to Gunnsteinn Björnsson of Atlantic Leather, which emerged as an offshoot of a traditional lambskin leather production that found itself short of raw material.

“We started in 1995 and as a business model we were probably far too early,” he said.

Today Atlantic Leather is one of only a few companies worldwide producing fish skin leather, and it hasn’t been an easy process. Gunnsteinn Björnsson explained that traditional

12 | MAY 2019

leather production is geared to temperatures that don’t suit fish skin.

“Traditional processes have been developed for 37-38° and if you have fish at that temperature, you get fish soup, and it happens really fast. We produced a lot of fish soup in the first few years,” he said.

Atlantic Leather managed to overcome the technical challenges – and is still doing so, even in highly demanding markets such as producing fish leather to hugely strict specifications for cars.

“Things are changing,” he said. “Is there a market for this?

Definitely. Fish leather is classed as exotic leather, but fish leather will become a normal product.”

8 There are significant challenges facing growth in the byproducts sector – as well as huge potential

100 MILLION TONNE SEAFOOD SHORTFALL Guus Pastoor, AIPCE President at the European Fish Processors Association, kicked off the second day of Fish Waste for Profit with a discussion on processing innovation. He pointed out that the projections are for a 100 million tonne seafood gap by 2030, as the FAO predicts that production is not expected to keep pace with demand as populations and the need for protein grow.

He also made reference to the fact that processors will need to invest in technology to extend shelf life and to reduce waste, both to improve sustainability was well as for commercial reasons.

8 Comments and questions from the floor added some spice to the conference

problems faced by the industry, such as the difficulties experienced by Codland in working with fish offal. This is a challenging raw material to work with, which is compounded by the difficult nature of the regulatory environment.

“Regulations really need to change,” said Codland’s Davíð Tómas Davíðsson, commenting that this blanket regulation renders such production unviable. “There’s over-strict regulation applied to working with fish innards,” he said.

Hrönn Margrét Magnúsdóttir of beauty wellness products company Feel Iceland commented that to turn waste into money, it’s key to listen to the market.

“If you’re not making the products people are asking for, they’re not going to sell and we’re not going to gain anything.

Listen to the trends, co-operate with researchers. If you have

products that sell, then there’s more to put back into research, and that closes the circle.”

Hörður Kristinsson from Matís also took part in this panel, stating that there is a strong interest in bringing seafood into the start-up world. People who fuelled the surge in growth in IT in the past are now increasingly putting finance into innovative food start-ups – but this has yet to filter through to the seafood sector.

“These people need to know about the potential in fish,” he said. “This can get a lot bigger, especially on an international basis. There is huge potential in pelagic species. We could be looking at a flood of investment. We have to think big,” Hörður Kristinsson said.

Using the entire catch Delegates attending Fish Waste for Profit 2019 had the opportunity for a technical visit to Haustak, Iceland’s largest fish drying facility, to close the final day of the conference, reports Jessica Gwynn.

Founded in 1999, Haustak are specialists in dried fish products located on the Reykjanes peninsula. The site was chosen for its proximity to geothermal energy sources, which provide the power needed to run the drying systems while doing this in the most efficient possible manner.

Haustak’s main products dried cod heads and backbones which are exported to Nigeria, the company’s primary market. The dried fish forms a part of the traditional Nigerian diet and is an essential source of protein, an estimated 40 million of the 180 million population of Nigeria include dried fish in their diet. A unique blend of spices and the addition of other nutrients in the form of vegetables provide the basis of the dried fish diet.

Haustak began by drying the fish on racks outside in the traditional method, however factors such as odour and reliability of environmental conditions mean that today

operations have been moved inside their hightech facility. Initially, the whole fish was dried, but today it can be portioned and separated which makes the product more affordable for consumers.

fish meal, all as part of a vertically integrated process spread across different markets.

Following the tour of the Haustak drying facility, delegates heard from Davíð Tómas Davíðsson, the head of Research & Development at Codland, who was able to further elaborate on their vertically integrated approach to 100% utilisation. He explained the uses for the fillets, fish skin, heads, backbones and viscera by the companies that make up the group – Thorbjörn and Vísir. One area of particular importance to Codland at the moment is the production of marine collagen.

Collagen is most highly concentrated in the skin of the fish but that isn’t the only interesting product to come from the skin.

Research into increasing collagen yield has developed Codland’s understanding of the interesting properties of fish gelatine which differ from the more popular porcine gelatine.

Cold water fish must maintain the flexibility of their tissues at cold temperatures meaning that the gelatine remains soft at these temperatures and becomes liquid at room temperature giving potential for medical and gastronomic applications for this gelatine.

NEWHORIZONS

Focusing on Fishery Development

CURRENCY HEDGING IS THE KEY TO A PLAIN SAILING FUTURE As the UK prepares to leave the EU, Lee McDarby, Director of Corporate FX at moneycorp explains why the fishing community should have a plan around currency exposure.

Brexit is set to change the landscape of the fishing industry.

Leaving the single market means fishermen could lose access to their current supply and distribution chains, and will need to organise a whole new set of certification to export wild-caught marine fish to the EU. It’s unsurprising therefore that initial confidence in Brexit’s ability to protect British fishing waters has turned to concerns over border delays and the impact it will have to existing supply chains.

While the conditions in which the UK will leave the EU are still uncertain, what is certain is that UK fishermen will need to become more focused on price sensitivity and risk management to prosper.

Why should the fishing community care about currency exposure?

Fishermen are used to planning around all types of risks, from rough sea conditions and supply chain disruptions – to ever changing customer consumption habits. However, a risk that most fishermen don’t consider but should, given the international nature of fishing, is currency fluctuations.

Regardless of whether you are importing equipment from China or exporting mackerel to Norway, at some point your business will have to make or receive a payment transaction to or from a foreign partner. It is at this point that currency fluctuations become real.

We are in a period of unprecedented fluctuations of the Pound as a result of Britain’s vote to leave the European Union.

In the months following the EU referendum the Pound slumped by 15% against both the Euro and the Dollar, and although there have been ups and downs since, Sterling has never fully recovered. In normal times currency fluctuations would have a moderate effect on the industry, but thanks to the extent of the shifts in the Pound, it is having a significant impact on bottom-line.

While a weak Pound may be favourable for any fish exported within Europe - as your product is cheaper for buyers – it is detrimental if you are importing from Europe, or exporting to a country where the Pound is stronger. For example, you may struggle if you were exporting product to Russia where the Ruble is performing poorly in face of the nation’s struggling economy, as your product would be deemed more expensive.

Analysis from the Wageningen University in The Netherlands found, counterintuitively, that should the UK leave the EU, the greater access to its own water (fleet sizes in this case could increase by 10-15%) would actually push the overall price of UK products down due to increased supply – not so good news for fishermen. In this scenario, a weak Pound may be a fisherman’s friend, counterbalancing some of the negative impact of falling fish prices by making its products more attractive to foreign buyers.

Using a currency expert can help keep you afloat Currency markets are volatile and buying currency on the wrong day can find fishermen spending considerably more than they should be. Many fishing businesses continue to use their high

14 | MAY 2019

street bank to make overseas transfers, but what they don’t realise is that foreign exchange experts such as moneycorp can offer better rates and help monitor the markets, ensuring they have a better chance of buying foreign currency at the right time.

The principle behind hedging is fairly simple. With a deposit, fishing businesses can set up a “forward contract”, which allows them to lock in a prevailing exchange rate for a period of up to two years regardless of any up or down movements in the wider current market.

For example, if a UK fish processor which is a net importer of fish from Europe secured the pre-referendum GBP/EUR exchange rate of 1.32 (EUR/GBP 0.76) then they could have continued trading at that rate – despite the Pound’s crash in value – for an additional two years.

A more flexible option is a “market order” that allows fishing businesses to specify a target rate, and if that rate is reached the funds are transferred. There are no guarantees with a “market order” but they can pair it with a stop-loss order, specifying the lowest limit they are willing to accept, allowing them to protect profit margin while also having the opportunity to take advantage of movements in the market.

competition from other sources of protein, the fishing industry certainly faces challenging times.

The extension of the Brexit deadline and the lack of indication of the final agreement certainly have not helped instil confidence among the fishing community.

With the chance of the UK leaving the EU without a deal still looking possible, which would be the worst case scenario for Sterling, fishing businesses which haven’t prepared for this scenario are likely to be putting their margins at risk.

During unsettling times it is important to be the captain of your own destiny; take a proactive approach and make sure your business isn’t left exposed to currency headwinds.

INSIGHT The Future of Fishing

BEYOND BREXIT Despite all the current uncertainty about how Britain and the EU will part ways, the UK’s seafood sector should still seek pathways to future market growth, writes Jason Holland These are unprecedented times for the UK seafood economy.

On the catching side, it’s widely anticipated the country’s departure from the EU and the prospect of landing larger volumes into fishing ports could lead to significant opportunities, while for those businesses importing and exporting seafood, the convoluted parting is expected to present multiple short-term challenges. But once the Brexit dust has settled, lucrative new prospects should surface for the broader industry, delegates heard at the recent first Scottish Seafood Summit, organised by trade body Seafish in Aberdeen.

Assuming that in the longer term, the UK has an independent trade policy, opportunities will emerge for the seafood sector, said Colin Faulkner, deputy director of external fisheries negotiations and trade policy at Defra.

To ensure it is best-placed to capitalise over the coming years, Colin Faulkner explained that the seafood industry will require three key infrastructure components: a stable macroeconomic environment, a framework for international trade, including the infrastructure for longer-term free trade agreements (FTAs), and multi-level support from governments to help businesses progress trading opportunities and market access.

Government is working hard to put these elements in place, he said, emphasising that the interests of the seafood sector are being taken into account and prioritised where possible.

This is evidenced by the amount of political airtime given to seafood and fisheries at Westminster far outweighing its contribution of 0.01% to the economy’s GVA (gross value added).

“Fisheries and seafood punch way above their weight in political terms. We all know that and also the reasons why.

So have no fear that seafood sectors won’t be taken into account in the future negotiations of free trade and international trade.”

With regards to the macro-economic framework, Faulkner highlighted that in a “broad sense”, UK public finances are continuing to improve, while deficit reduction targets are being met earlier than expected – all despite the current political backdrop.

“Economic growth is holding up remarkably well, and growth forecasts are continuing to hold up better than expected,” he said.

SCOTTISH GROWTH In volume and value terms, Scotland’s seafood sector accounts for the lion’s share of the UK wild-catch, almost all of its aquaculture production and close to half of all fish processing.

And with seven out of 10 of Scotland’s top export markets being EU states, collectively accounting for 77% of the export value, it’s particularly exposed to all Brexit scenarios.

Delivering the summit’s keynote address, Fergus Ewing, Scottish cabinet secretary for the rural economy, acknowledged there would inevitably be consequences arising from leaving the EU, but added that there would also be opportunities to grow an industry that was already worth £3 billion and which had grown its overseas sales by 111% in the last 10 years.

He told those stakeholders present, “In England, seafood only accounts for around 6% of food exports. That figure in Scotland is 60% – making it 10 times more important to

16 | MAY 2019

Scotland than in England. Hence our interest, enthusiasm and desire to do everything we can to assist in your success. And of course, what you do is absolutely vital to sustain our coastal and fragile communities, and as long as I’m the cabinet secretary that will be an absolute priority; trying to do my best to further the interests of the fishermen and fishing interests in those communities.

Ewing said that “despite the uncertainties of Brexit”, his department was working closely with industry to map out a future framework to support the catching and processing sectors. He also remains confident that if it grabs opportunities as they arise, the industry can repeat its export feat as part of the broader Food and Drink Strategy 2030 to double the component sectors’ overall value to £30 billion by 2030.

“We will continue to invest in exports, we will continue to seek market opportunities, and we will continue to work with you to find out how to do that most effectively,” he said.

Jimmy Buchan, vessel and seafood supply company owner and Seafish board member, confirmed that while Brexit gives the “huge opportunity” to land more fish into Scotland, the real challenge is making sure the sector has the necessary infrastructure and capacity in place to maximise the benefits.

“I am certain that this can only happen if industry and government work in partnership on the challenges. It’s difficult, but working together and building bridges is the way to do it.

Putting walls up is not the way forward.

“Business needs to be prepared and ready to adapt to a changing [trade] landscape and I think that we are all aware of that.”

INSIGHT

STRATEGIC ALLIANCES Paving the initial way forward post-Brexit, an increasing number of trade agreements have been agreed with third-countries, including important seafood partners like Iceland and Norway.

Essentially, these are rollover, continuity arrangements that the UK already has as part of its EU membership and are expected to suffice as stop gap measures.

In the longer term, the government is particularly interested in putting in place a variety of FTAs with several countries around the world, said Colin Faulkner.

“This will affect a lot of industries, including fisheries and seafood,” he said. “There will always be a bias towards free trade.

You should assume that government will want to reduce barriers to trade – whether they are tariff barriers or non-tariff barriers – and that will be the starting point for all long-term FTAs.” Faulkner added that FTAs are also the means to achieve multiple objectives, including labour and environmental protection, upholding human rights, fighting corruption and safeguarding animal welfare. “It’s about avoiding a race to the bottom and ensuring that the highest possible standards are upheld and the highest quality produce is available to be exported.

“Scottish seafood products are incredibly well placed to capitalise in that type of environment and with the policy drivers behind FTAs. Similarly, they’re well placed on the increased global demand for seafood. In the early 1960s, Europe and the US accounted for nearly 50% of the world’s total fish consumption. In 2015, that was down to 20%, with the Asian market becoming more significant in terms of the world fish consumption perspective.

“Another thing about FTAs is they are fairly new to the UK;

‘‘

It’s about avoiding a race to the bottom and ensuring that the highest possible standards are upheld and the highest quality produce is available to be exported

they are not something we have had to negotiate in our own right for many years. That will be a new set of processes for us.

We will need [industry’s] input and market insight into that process, to ensure that we negotiate FTAs that meet the needs of all parts of the UK. Ultimately the whole purpose of this is to help you export more – we want you to export even more of your great products.” The sector should also tap into the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) resources, advised Faulkner.

With only a few exceptions, he said it can be assumed exporters will find a UK embassy or Foreign Office Department of Trade team already present in those target countries with a significant amount of local market knowledge and a little black book of contacts that could prove helpful. In Shanghai, for example, the UK embassy has eight people working on food and drink alone. There has also been the recent appointment of nine trade commissioners in key locations around the world.

“I think the seafood sector in Scotland is incredibly well placed to capitalise on global markets and on their expansion,” he said.

TRAWL GEAR

PULLING THE STRINGS – PELAGIC GEAR DEVELOPMENT The days of chasing fish and hoping for the best belong in the past, according to Andrey Fedorov, director of fishing gear manufacturer Fishering Service “Fishering Service has designed its Atlantica trawls to take advantage of the natural instincts of the fish, to be startled by loud noises and their instinctive urge for selfpreservation,” he said, explaining that an understanding of the laws of physics makes it possible to steer fish right into a trawler’s gear “The primary factor is that sound is the key information source for fish, and this is what dictates its behaviour. Even if a fish has not seen a threat, it senses it through vibrations in the water and seeks to retreat to a place where there is no noise.

So this is where hydroacoustics become a tool that we can use.

We created trawl gear in which each rope vibrates to generate an even noise field recognisable over some distance.”

The theory is that when faced with noise from every direction, fish will naturally seek out a place where the sound level is lowest, and this quiet place is the centre of the trawl.

“Each sound source creates its own unique acoustic signature, radiated in every direction. Environmental conditions and the sound source’s parameters define how this field is perceived by the fish. The towing depth and the configuration of the trawl in the water result in a unique acoustic effect. It’s not easy to engineer, and if there are spaces with little or no noise, then the fish can escape through these with only the small proportion of the fish that hadn’t been aware of the danger ending up in the codend,” he explained.

The rationale behind the design of the Atlantica trawls is to create an acoustic configuration that herds the fish together between the trawl’s wings instead of startling them into becoming dispersed, and for the shoal of fish to be shown a path to a safe place – which is the codend of the trawl.

RESEARCH PARTNERSHIPS Andrey Fedorov explained that achieving these effects depended on numerous independent studies and the painstaking research behind this took the company a decade and a half to achieve.

“Strong partnerships with Russian fishermen provided the opportunity to gather benchmark data, making it possible to test the theory based on these findings right away on board fishing vessels. This long process of research and testing has resulted in a substantial database of experimental information, making it possible to calculate behavioural patterns inside a trawl on a mathematical basis,” he said.

“By trying different trawl constructions, and by testing different materials and mesh shapes, the company’s fishing gear designers understood about the tensions that have to be applied to the specific bars in a trawl. Eventually we figured out that without exception each component should be tensioned as far as possible, so that in the water the bars play like the strings of a musical instrument.”

8 Pelagic trawl production at Fishering Service

The theory is that when faced with noise from every direction, fish will naturally seek out a place where the sound level is lowest, and this quiet place is the centre of the trawl As part of this development, Fishering Service tested all the ropes available from numerous suppliers before taking the step of manufacturing its own ropes, providing it with control over the full manufacturing process and ensuring that even tensions can be maintained throughout the large-mesh section of a pelagic trawl. Balanced tensioning ensures that there are no under- or over-stretched bars, so the sound generated in the water is uniform.

RIGHT MESH, RIGHT PLACE An important aspect of what Fishering Service’s designers have achieved is pinpointing the roles played by diamond and hexagonal meshes in the trawl mouth sections, and placing these where they are most effective in generating noise and quite zones inside the fishing gear.

Diamond mesh produces the highest sound volume as the

TRAWL GEAR

gear is towed through the water, with the fish at the centre of a surrounding field of intense noise which guides them to the centre of the trawl’s catching zone.

According to Andrey Fedorov, the most popular pelagic trawls in use today use hexagonal meshes in the rope sections, which he feels provides no opportunity for taking advantage of tensions on the bars.

“This applies particularly when a trawler is towing across the current, with the bars vibrating slowly and not generating enough noise to startle fish over long distances. In a small set of trawl gear, these meshes can still be effective in herding fish, but when a trawl has an opening of some hundred metres, then the noise generated isn’t enough.”

Conversely, the low noise generated by hexagonal meshes further down the trawl create a calm zone, the safe zone that the fish seeks out. This encourages them to move along without having a specific threat to avoid, before the mesh again changes to diamond mesh to push the fish back to the centre.

“This acoustic barrier forms the fish into a tight shoal at the centre of the trawl in front of the entrance to the machinemade netting section of the trawl. Getting this configuration and density right means that we can almost completely eliminate stickers in the meshes. While net designers around the world are looking at mesh sizes, at Fishering Service our designers have been concentrating on the shape and construction of the belly section, and experience has shown that the catching efficiency of our trawls made using this design approach is significantly higher than that of similar-sized conventional fishing gear.”

He commented that the company’s extensive research and the experience gained during this long process, plus its own software systems means that Fishering Service produces trawls not only for specific vessels, but also depending on specific species, water temperatures and water density.

“Our design software adjusts parameters for the fishing gear’s construction, depending on where the catching vessel is fishing, what the species and the conditions are, and other factors, such as fishing on the surface, midwater or close to the sea bed, as well as any specific requirements the customer may have,” he said.

“But there’s one principle all the way through all this – the tensions need to be right, so that a trawl can sing like an violin.

The trawl also has to be able to absorb being deformed by the current conditions or by the trawl doors being mismatched, and if the trawl doesn’t make up for these factors, then the bar tension will be incorrect and fishing efficiency is lost.”

Experience of a T90 mackerel codend rigged on DynIce Quicklines has been excellent on both mackerel and herring, according to one of Síldarvinnslan’s pelagic skippers.

“We see that the fish pass down into the gear into the codend and are alive longer there than in other codend types, and that has to be a benefit in terms of better and fresher raw material,” said Hálfdán Hálfdánarson, who skippers pelagic vessel Börkur opposite Hjörvar Hjálmarsson.

Both skippers have both been involved in the development of T90 codends rigged on

IDEAL SELECTIVITY COMBINATION OF T90 MESH AND QUICKLINES Quicklines, along with staff from operating company Síldarvinnslan and specialist staff from Fjarðanet in Akureyri, which is a division of Hampiðjan Ísland ehf.

The T90 codend rigged on DynIce Quicklines was first introduced in 2016 and was tried out that summer on board Beitir. This was an

experimental development project between Fjarðanet and Síldarvinnslan, and a number of changes and adjustments were made following the end of the mackerel season that autumn. The decision was taken to continue the development on board Börkur the following year. The result has been that the skippers have been satisfied with the experience with this gear.

Subsea filming of the codend while fishing on mackerel highlighted several new and interesting aspects that made the necessary adjustments easier.

Quicklines are a development by Hampiðjan, introducing a high-strength DynIce rope manufactured with loops at precisely set intervals. Instead of rigging a codend in the usual way, with heavy selvedges laced together and rigged to belly lines, each Quickline loop is threaded through the mesh, and then secured through the next loop. This makes rigging a very 8 The combination of T90 mesh and Hampiðjan’s Quicklines has been a successful one for both pelagic and demersal trawlers

fast process, and also allows for adjustment if the hanging ratio needs to be altered.

Among the advantages of the T90 codend are that the meshes remain well open.

According to Hálfdán Hálfdánarson, this means that there is a good flow through and the fish pass faster back to the codend. This leaves a clear way out for small fish to make their way out of the trawl.

“The flow through the codend is very good and it pumps out well. The main difference that we see is that the fish live longer in this codend, and although it hasn’t been confirmed by production ashore, this has to bring dividends in fresher raw material and better quality,” Hálfdán Hálfdánarson said.

The same approach of rigging T90 codends on Quicklines has also been effective on demersal trawlers, with the rigging arrangement allowing meshes to open effectively to let undersized fish escape easily from the trawl.

Icelandic factory trawler Sólberg has completed a record-breaking trip in the Barents Sea, docking at the end of the 37-day trip with frozen production from 1900 tonnes of fish on board, valued at over €5 million.

The 79.80 metre Sólberg is skippered alternately by Trausti Kristinsson and Sigthór Kjartansson who was in the wheelhouse for this trip to the Barents Sea. This trip was also the first time that Sólberg has worked with a pair of Arctic 612 trawls from Ísfell spread with a pair of 5600kg, 12m2 doors.

“The trawls fished well, with practically no gilled fish caught in the meshes. There was virtually no maintenance needed at the end of the trip, which the crew were very happy about,” said skipper Sigthór Kjartansson.There’s some background to the Arctic trawls from Ísfell that Sólberg used for this trip.

“When Sólberg was delivered, we supplied them with a large Sóltoppur trawl for single-rig trawling,” said Jónas Thór Friðriksson at Ísfell.

“Now they came back to us for a pair of smaller trawls for twin-rigging, based on the Sóltoppur deisgn, and we supplied a pair of Arctic 612 trawls that have a fishing circle of

SCANMAR PLAYING LEADING ROLE IN RUSSIAN FLEET RENEWAL Murmansk company Murmanseld2 is currently building four new vessels at the Pella Shipyard in Saint Petersburg – a contract with a value in excess of €160 million The company’s three current trawlers, Mirakh, Almak and Alferas, are long-time Scanmar customers and Murmanseld2 has already gone back to Scanmar for systems for its four new trawlers.

Each of the four trawlers is to be fitted with a pair of hydrophones, of which one includes temperature measurement, as well as a Scanbas 365 bridge system with WDR receiver and Sensor Configuration Unit.

The package of sensors includes double distance units with distance, depth, angles and stability of the door, temperature of the water, plus a clump sensor for double distance, four SuperCatch sensors with filling indicators, two flow and symmetry sensors with mounting kits and a pair of Trawl Eyes with batteries and mounting kits, with four chargers for each trawler.

Speaking to Scanmar's Artur Shchukin, Yuriy Glushchevskiy who sails as radio and navigation equipment master on board Murmanseld2’s 6000hp Mirkah, said that there’s a simple reason why they went back to Scanmar for the new trawlers.

“We have very long and positive experience with Scanmar equipment and all of our vessels are using Scanmar and have been very satisfied with its performance,” said Yuriy Glushchevskiy, who trained at the Maritime College in Murmansk before a career on a variety of trawlers operating in

Norwegian waters, the Barents Sea and across the North Atlantic.

Mirakh relies on its Scanmar electronics to monitor the performance of its Alfredo 5, Selstad 520 and Selstad 634 demersal trawls worked with Cobra and Sparrow trawl doors.

Murmanseld2’s new 5200kW trawlers are designed for single and twin-rig trawling with a trip length of 20 to 30 days.

THE VERAMARIS SOLUTION: SUSTAINABILITY SPARKS GROWTH Photo:©Veramaris

As the demand for salmon at the dinner table surges globally, so does the pressure on small ocean fish used in feeding them

8 Veramaris CEO Karim Kurmaly, Skretting’s Mads Martinsen and Lingalaks owner Erlend Haugarvoll

With the global aquaculture industry pegged as being a roughly $175 billion market, expected to grow to $225 billion by 2022. Salmon aquaculture alone accounts for 70% of that total and is the fastest growing food production system in the world, according to Rabobank’s recent 100 Billion Dollar Baby: How Aquaculture Keeps Growing report.

A significant drawback is that many marine stocks that aquaculture has traditionally relied on for feed are under pressure as 16 million tonnes of fish are caught solely to produce fish meal and fish oil, with 80% of the fish oil going directly to aquaculture feeds. At the same time, demand is expected to continue to soar. Already, half of the fish for human consumption comes from aquaculture. By 2030, it will top 62%, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization.

Experts agree that the importance of aquaculture to meet soaring human demand for healthy, balanced diets yet recognises the demands put on the marine ecosystem. That’s the challenge facing Veramaris, which is a joint venture between DSM and Evonik, in creating a new technology to provide a highly sustainable source of EPA and DHA that doesn’t affect marine life and enables aquaculture to grow.

What the joint venture between global multinationals DSM and Evonik has developed is a breakthrough innovation taking a natural marine algae that can replace the fish oil derived from wild caught fish and still provides farmed fish with the essential omega-3 EPA and DHA fatty acids those fish need for health and growth.

The use of Veramaris algal oil for farmed fish food not only helps to conserve marine life, but also offers a standardised way to regulate and determine the amount of omega-3 fatty acids that consumers get from farmed fish, especially salmon.

ZERO-WASTE PRODUCTION Veramaris is currently constructing a $200 million zero-waste production facility in Blair, Nebraska to be completed in 2019

28 | MAY 2019

which converts the sugar in nearby corn crops into food for its algae strain and resulting algal oil. The zero waste comes from the fact that the byproduct – essentially an algae mash – can be fed to local beef livestock as a nutritious source of protein and other nutrients. By the time the plant opens, it is expected to be able to produce 15% of the salmon aquaculture demand for omega-3 EPA and DHA. By Veramaris’ estimate, that equates to 1.2 million tonnes of small “feeder” fish such as anchovies and sprats.

While waiting on completion of its plant, Veramaris is already producing hundreds of tonnes of the oil at existing facilities in South Carolina and Slovakia as pilot materials for customers.

“Everyone in the value chain is acutely aware of the dependence on marine ingredients. They’re also well aware that to grow 5% or 6% per annum, they need a reliable source of EPA and DHA,” said Veramaris CEO Karim Kurmaly.

Veramaris algal oil is a premium product priced higher than competitive products in the market, separating itself from current market offerings.

However, Karim Kurmaly who is also a marine biologist, said they’re getting over any potential adoption hurdle by appealing to all stakeholders. They are working to convince stakeholders to consider passing along the expense, which he said is a “negligible amount” of 1-2% total cost by initial retail partner estimates, in order to do the right thing for marine biodiversity.

“Aquaculture continues to adopt innovation and reinvent the way it has been going. There is no planet B. There is only planet A, and we’re on it. Both DSM and Evonik share a vision with regards to people, planet and profit. We are committed to U.N. sustainability development goals and the bottom line in this is that we can help conserve marine biodiversity while enabling the industry to grow to meet the swift growth in the global population needing protein,” he said.

LINGALAKS STARTS PRODUCTION OF SALMON FED ON OMEGA-3 MARINE ALGAL OIL, RICH IN EPA + DHA Norwegian salmon producer Lingalaks is replacing fish oil in its production with omega-3 EPA + DHA fatty acids from natural marine algae for increased sustainability and product differentiation.

Beginning in October 2018, Lingalaks has been feeding 50% of its salmon production a diet produced by Skretting which includes omega-3 EPA + DHA algal oil produced by Veramaris. Feeding salmon with natural marine algal oil resonates strongly with the sustainability efforts of numerous retailers worldwide. German retail chain Kaufland is now the first to put the new salmon on the shelf. Kaufland and Lidl are part of the German Schwarz Group.

The Veramaris algal oil is the only commercial non-fish source of omega-3 fatty acids that is rich in both EPA and DHA. Produced on land by fermentation of natural marine algae, the algal oil is of a high purity, free from sea-borne contaminants, stabilised with natural antioxidants, excluding Ethoxyquin.

“Omega-3 EPA + DHA from natural marine algae allows us to produce healthier and better salmon. It also gives us the unique opportunity to differentiate our company within a competitive market. Our courage to pioneer a new and more sustainable production method using algal oil resonated well with our philosophy. By being the early adopter of this new technology, we found

partners along the seafood value chain who supported us in realizing our vision of superior, sustainable salmon quality and finding new outlets for it,” said Lingalaks owner Erlend Haugarvoll.

Veramaris, a Dutch-based joint venture of DSM and Evonik, orchestrated the stakeholder dialogue of players along the value chain over the past few years, from feed producers, farmers, retailers to NGOs. “Our omega-3 algal oil rich in both fatty acids EPA and DHA is a novel ingredient for better and more sustainable salmon farming, but sometimes it takes a lot of courage and the right mindset to take the first step to adopt a breakthrough innovation. We quickly realised that traditional marketing and sales approaches would likely be to no avail and we had to bring key stakeholders around one table. Only by collaborating were we able to make this change to current practice,” explained Veramaris CEO Karim Kurmaly.

INCREASING CONSUMER DEMAND FOR HEALTHY SEAFOOD Consumer demand for healthy and sustainably fed salmon is rapidly increasing. German retailer Kaufland sees great potential in the collaboration with Lingalaks and Veramaris.

The company is pursuing a comprehensive corporate responsibility strategy of which the seafood portfolio, particularly salmon, is an

integral element reflecting consumer demands.

“Our customers have high demands on quality and competence of the assortment.

The algal oil-fed salmon is an innovative and high-quality product that lives up to our customers’ high demands for good taste and healthy nutrition, and that meets the increasing sense of responsibility for conscious consumption of resources. We are convinced that this cooperation is a forward-looking decision," said Andreas Schopper, Head of Purchasing at Kaufland.

As a first mover, Kaufland has been supporting this trend-setting development right from the start. As of 2019, Kaufland will be offering Lingalaks’ high-quality salmon in its German branches.

The feed for Lingalaks new salmon generation is provided by feed manufacturer Skretting.

“As an industry leader with the knowledge to produce 100% fish-free feeds on a commercial scale, Skretting is very happy to support Lingalaks in taking this innovative step,” said Mads Martinsen, Director Product Development, Skretting Norway.

“It’s not as simple as just substitution, and many years of research have allowed this breakthrough.”

FIRST LASER-GUIDED OYSTER PROCESSING SYSTEM UNVEILED Hoopers Island Oyster Co, a full-service aquaculture equipment manufacturer, seed hatchery and oyster grower, has unveiled Pearlception 2.0, the first high-speed, laser-guided oyster processing

8 Pearlception: the first laser-guided oyster processing system in the US

The second-generation model was developed in collaboration with Backbone Mechanical Design with lead engineer Richard Jiranek and manufactured at Hoopers Island’s Cambridge headquarters under the direction of master equipment fabricator John Tall.

Pearlception 2.0 automates oyster sorting previously done by hand. Using a touch-screen to drive the “OysterLogic” system, operators can specify speed, grading size (length/width or length/volume) and number of oysters per box. The system is capable of processing up 20 million oysters annually, an estimated 20,000 tonnes.

“As oyster aquaculture has become a recognised source of delicious, sustainable seafood worldwide, Hoopers has focused our considerable experience on creating equipment and systems to strengthen oyster farming’s infrastructure,” said managing partner Ricky Fitzhugh.

“Using real time data and predictive modeling, Pearlception 2.0 is the first “smart system” processor designed to grade, sort and package up to 20,000 oysters an hour allowing farmers to increase the quality and quantity of seafood sent to market.”

30 | MAY 2019

Pearlception 2.0’s automated handling process eliminates chipping and waste caused by hand-sorting. A vibrating, selfloading up-feed quickly moves oysters on a conveying elevator with staggered flights. The cross-feed then delivers oysters to a singulator tube where they are turned on two points and accelerated onto the conveyor for precise laser grading. Six air nozzles then move oysters quickly and gently to one of six preset stations for boxing or bagging.

The system is accurate and easy for oyster farmers to operate, according to John Tall.

SEVEN DISTINCT SCREENS “We designed a large touch-screen monitor and intuitive interface with seven distinct screens to configure, operate and manage processing,” he said. “The laser scanner precisely grades oysters and is capable of storing up to 20 oyster configurations with three grades each.”

Pearlception’s prototype was developed by Backbone, a Baltimore-based engineering company renowned for equipment design and production. Ricky Fitzhugh selected

Backbone based on its reputation for successfully integrating ergonomic requirements, safety standards, and lean manufacturing concepts in high volume automotive production environments.

“The design process started with defining customer requirements. Using our background designing automotive machinery, we transformed the requirements into performance criteria for oyster handling, oyster grading, hygiene, safety, quality, durability, throughput, maintenance, and cost,” according to Richard Jiranek.

“Pearlception 2.0 has satisfied our performance criteria, passed rigorous testing, and it is ready for market.”

Also key to aquaculture’s technological growth and capabilities is the need for rapid, responsive service to the mostly rural areas where farmers operate.

“As an oyster farm, we understand growers’ needs, the desire for more innovative equipment and the importance of customer service,” said Chris Wyer, Hoopers’ senior manager for equipment and sales. “Whether a farmer needs troubleshooting, programming or technical support, we can respond immediately and have an equipment specialist on site within 24 hours at most locations in the United States.”

GROWING SEGMENT The growth in the US and global aquaculture market has increased demand for equipment and gear. According to a 2017 NOAA report, bivalve shellfish production represents a large and growing segment of the United States and global seafood industry. In 2016, US shellfish farmers produced(16,780 tonnes (37 million pounds) of oysters.

The East Coast Shellfish Growers Association anticipates the demand for high speed, resilient equipment to support oyster farming will continue to grow.

“Over the past five years, aquaculture has enjoyed impressive growth in oyster production and as firms grow in scale it will be important to be able to mechanize some of the more menial tasks like sorting and counting,” said ECSGA Executive Director Robert Rheault.

“The development of innovative tools like Pearlception is critical to the maturation of our industry.”

ANDHRA PRADESH TO APPLY BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY The Indian state is utilising blockchain technologies to address growing problems of antibiotics in aquaculture, aiming to monitor the entire chain of culture and processing, reports JK Kumar The state fisheries department is about to sign a memorandum of understanding with the Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) to launch a pilot project. State fisheries commissioner Rama Shankar Naik said that by using blockchain technology, the entire supply chain can be tracked from the location of the pond, through the process of the culture and post harvesting, with details recorded and monitored to ensure quality standards.

Initially, the state will be launching the pilot project with the help of MPEDA and Tata Trust to monitor the entire supply chain of shrimp cultivation. This is not the first time the state has adopted blockchain, as Andhra Pradesh already became the first state in India to use this for land records and transport back in October 2017, when the state chief minister, N Chandrababu Naidu announced that the state would embrace blockchain in its administration.

According to state fisheries commissioner Naik, the pilot is likely to be launched in Krishna, East Godavari and West Godavari districts initially in collaboration with Tata Trusts, which has partnered with a start-up company Algorythmix for the preparation of a platform to implement the pilot project in the State. It is then planned to be extended to other districts based on the response from shrimp exporters.

This move is seen as vital, as although Andhra Pradesh is the largest producer and exporter of shrimps to the European Union, US and Japan, it has seen rejection rates close to 60% and the US and the EU have threatened to ban Indian shrimps if concerns related to antibiotics in shrimps are not resolved.

The EU, US, and Japan are the major importers of shrimp from Andhra Pradesh. The pilot project has additional significance in the light of the US making traceability of all seafood mandatory under the Seafood Import Monitoring Programme (SIMP), starting this year.

A state official looking after exports, who declined to be named, said that by using blockchain in shrimp farms all the records pertaining to supply chains will be checked that will help the farmers to maintain compliance with exporting standards, adding that this technology will also help farmers adopt better practices, eventually leading to better exports.

This will also help farmers getting a better price for their produce from exporters, the official explained.

Andhra Pradesh has opted to spend $56 million during the 2018-19 fiscal year on the fisheries sector to encourage compliance with export standards. With more than 970km of coastline and vast scope for seafood production, the state

contributes 7.4% share in the Gross State Domestic Production (GSDP), as well as being responsible for 24.24% of the country’s fisheries production and providing livelihood to 1.45 million people. The state is also the largest shrimp producer, with approximately 66% of national production.

In order to further boost the aquaculture sector, the State government is also seeking collaboration with various countries to adopt international practices and held discussions with organisations from Singapore, Netherlands, Vietnam and other countries. Andhra Pradesh is seeking collaboration in sectors such as farming, hatcheries, processing, value addition, cold-chain development and feed technology, which it believes will help the state to increase aquaculture production further and also provide more opportunities to farmers in exports.

In addition, the state is forging a deep sea fishing joint partnership with Vietnam to work on tuna fishing and value-added products.

The Andhra Pradesh state fisheries department has recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with USAbased Fishin Company for increasing the production of genetically improved farmed tilapia, along with a tie-up with the Netherlands in feed technology and cold-chain development.

With huge demand for seafoods in the international market, the state government is promoting practices such as simplifying procedures for registration of aqua farms through the state-run Mee-seva service, permitting aquaculture in government wastelands also known was DKT lands given to landless people for the sole purpose of cultivation, and a cluster approach at primary producer level in the existing 181 aqua clusters occupying 127,000 hectares.

SEAWISE STABILITY MONITOR ENHANCES FISHING SAFETY Developed by Hook Marine Ltd, the Scottish-based safety engineering company, the SeaWise real-time stability monitor, has been specially designed for the protection and survival of small vessels, in particular fishing boats.

With accident statistics showing that the majority of fishermen are lost when a vessel capsizes or founders, the new SeaWise electronic device provides early warning of the development of a hazardous situation by continually monitoring the rolling motion of a vessel at sea.

The system monitors any loss of stability through this continuous roll measurement and features a simple traffic light display which gives a green light during normal operation, an amber light when stability is decreasing, and a red warning when there is real danger of capsize.

Fishing vessels are at particular risk from stability issues because hauling fishing gear and then movement of the catch once aboard, may create imbalance. Excess loading of fishing gear, water on deck or modifications to the superstructure of craft can also cause problems.

Following successful trials of SeaWise, which began with model tests in the wave basin at the University of Edinburgh, the device was verified on sea trials, using fishing boats of different types from ports around the UK. The monitor is now being made available to the fishing industry, the equipment being no larger than a laptop, making it convenient to install on even the smallest vessel.

“While we are pleased with the outcome of our development work, the most important factor in its success lies in the hands of others,” said Ken Smith, director of Hook Marine.

“SeaWise will only benefit the fishing industry when vessel owners and skippers install the product and refer to it as a matter of routine on every voyage. This will realise the real

purpose of the device, which is the enhancement of safety onboard, with a resulting reduction in accidents and preservation of life at sea.”

The development of the equipment was supported by funding from Lloyd’s Register Foundation, Trinity House, and EMFF from the Marine Management Organisation.

NICHOLA OF LADRAM JOINS SOUTH-WEST FLEET Image: ©Waterdance

South-West fishing company Waterdance has taken delivery of a new steel crabber, Nichola of Ladram E-1, which arrived in Brixham from the Luyt yard in Holland Skipper Richard Carroll and his crew of six wasted no time in getting the new boat to sea as soon as the paperwork was all completed to start placing Nichola of Ladram’s 3000 crab pots.

Waterdance managing director Nigel Blazeby commented that the company is delighted with the new crabber, which represents a milestone for the Waterdance fleet as the company’s first newbuild for some considerable time.

“We’re very pleased her, and also with the work done by Luyt in building Nichola of Ladram to such an innovative design,” he said, adding that while Waterdance and a number of other fishing companies in the South-West have been going to Luyt for repairs, maintenance and refits for many years, this is the yard’s first newbuild for a UK company.

“Waterdance is also grateful to Seafish, the MCA and the MMO for their part in bringing this venture to fruition and making it possible for Nichola of Ladram to join the South-West fleet,” he said.

ACCOMMODATION Designed by Ian Paton at SC MacAllister, Nichola of Ladram measures 14.99 metres overall and has a substantial 7 metre beam to accommodate the 45,000 litre vivier capacity, with space for up to 22.50 tonnes of crab on board.

There are three Caterpillars in the engine room, with a C18 main engine driving an 1800mm propeller and a pair of C4.4 generators providing the power needed to run the boat’s systems, including the pumping capacity needed to maintain a flow through the vivier tanks at all times.

In addition, Nichola of Ladram has capacity for 10,000 litres of fuel in two tanks and 12,000 litres of fresh water in three tanks, plus two bait lockers with a nine cubic metre capacity.

“It has been a challenging process to build an innovative new vessel like Nichola of Ladram, and very rewarding to see her delivered and fishing within a week of delivery,” Nigel

FULLY ELECTRIC WORKBOAT SHOWS FISH FARMING FUTURE Astrid Helene is a fully electric salmon farm workboat designed and built by Grovfjord Mekaniske Verksted in Norway, reports Jake Frith Owner/ operator Northern Lights Salmon saves the planet from up to 90t CO2 and 900kg of NOx particles annually – the average emission of a diesel powered fish-farm workboat.

There are no longer any diesel fumes on deck either. For crew, the fumes could be quite annoying – particularly if the wind was blowing it in their direction. Now, there is just clean air. Fully electric work boats such as Astrid Helene will play a key role in the industry’s future.

“Electric work boats are perfect for fish farming. The lack of engine noise is not only an advantage for the crew, but also for the salmon. It actually reduces stress levels in the fish. And the environmental benefits are obvious. This is key for us. Our aim has always been to run our business in as green a way as possible,” explained Søren Balteskard, Chairman of Northern Lights Salmon.

The disadvantages? According to Søren Balteskard there really aren’t any. Electric boats are easy to manoeuvre and go from zero to full speed extremely fast. And the typical concern about lack of charging possibilities during long distance sailing, is not a problem as fish farms are located close to shore.

NO RANGE CONCERNS “We can use Astrid Helene for a whole workday and still have about 45% power left when we return to shore. Charging is easy, too. We simply plug her to the grid overnight. And the next morning, she is fully charged – at only a fraction of what it costs to fill up the tank in one of our diesel boats.”

Grovfjord Mekaniske Verksted, which designed and built Astrid Helene, is Norway’s leading manufacturer of aluminium workboats. The company has delivered more than 115 boats to the fish farm industry over the last 15 years. Astrid Helene is their first fully electric one. Others will soon follow, though. The company already has orders for another handful on the books.

The catamaran hull is very efficient and needs only a few kilowatts to glide through the water and reach speeds up to 67 knots. The energy demand increases exponentially at speeds above 10 knots. Consequently, the range of the vessel is dependent on speed, wind and currents, and the advanced

8 Søren Balteskard, Chairman of Northern Lights Salmon, says there are no disadvantages to operating an electric vessel and a single charge is more than enough for a full working day

40 | MAY 2019

EMS system gives the boat operator a good overview of these factors. A single charge can keep the vessel running throughout a long work day on the fish farm. When the vessel needs to traverse a longer stretch of water, a regular diesel generator can be hoisted onto the deck and connected directly to the charging plug. And just like that, Astrid Helene is transformed into a hybrid long-range boat.

“The drives are really key components. All electricity – every single kilowatt used on the boat – passes through them. And we are not only talking electricity for the propulsion motors, but for all electric equipment – all the way down to the coffee machine,” said Anders Breines, Lead Electrical Engineer at Grovfjord Mekaniske Verksted.

Astrid Helene is packed with heavy equipment, including a 32-tonne crane and an electric winch hauling nets that can hold 12 tonnes of salmon. Still, it moves silently through the water at up to 10 knots. Three types of components make it happen: A 4m3 big lithium-ion battery-pack, two electrical propulsion motors, and seven drives.

8 Built at Grovfjord Mekaniske Verksted, the all-electric Astrid Helene runs silently at up to ten knots

DANFOSS DRIVES Drives are key components for the functionality of the vessel.

Seven Vacon NXP drives control the flow of energy between batteries, motors, chargers and power in the cabin. Two batteries from Corvus Orca generate a total of 440kWh, supplying all power on board. Two 107kW permanent-magnet motors ensure that propulsion is silent and efficient. They are also powered by Vacon NXP drives.

Charging from onshore is controlled by a Vacon NXP Grid Converter, and the batteries are managed by a Vacon NXP DC/DC Converter. Even the hydraulics for the crane are run by the Vacon NXP drive so they can be powered by the batteries.

The overall control system, known as the Energy Management System (EMS), was developed by teachers and students at the University of Tromsø.

SKIPPER EXPO INT. ABERDEEN

A new Wildcat 40 intended to monitor mussel bed stocks in Dingle Bay and along east coast of Ireland was launched in Kinsale, Co Cork by Ireland’s Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Michael Creed TD. The Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) T Burke II will be primarily used to monitor and survey mussel bed stocks in Dingle Bay and along the east coast from Carnsore Point, Co Wexford to Carlingford, Co Louth. A side scan sonar will allow BIM technical officers to know whether seed mussel is present or not.

The Irish mussel industry was valued at €11.7M to the Irish economy in 2018. Almost 14,000 tonnes of mussels were produced in Ireland last year. Bottom grown mussels made up 4800 tonnes of that total. The sector has been recognised by the global eco-label and certification programme, the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) since 2013.

“These surveys form an integral part of the management of the seed mussel fishery, which has been awarded the prestigious Marine Stewardship Council sustainability certification.

This MSC certification is the gold standard of fisheries certification and opens up access for our Irish mussels into the very best markets in
