On almost any given day, at four-thirty in the morning, while most people are still sleeping, Europe’s biggest fishing port in Vigo is in full swing.

“The city of Vigo lives for its port,” according to Corina Porro, Vigo Delegate, Regional Government of Galicia. “Nighttime in Vigo includes working in the fish markets... This is the life of Vigo, our city.”

But these are not normal times.

8 Normally buzzing with activity, the largest fishing port in Europe is now unusually quiet. The port of Vigo is still open, but is struggling to continue operations during the COVID-19 pandemic

In this new era of COVID-19 and the need for physical distancing, what happens to this hive of daily activity – the sights, smells, sounds and relentless movement - that is Europe’s largest fishing port?

Shanghai Chonghe Marine Industry (CMI) has gone back to Wärtsilä for the design of a second specialised krill vessel to operate in the Southern Ocean.

Wärtsilä has been contracted to provide the design of the 140 metre vessel, scheduled to be delivered in 2023 to CMI. Slated to be the largest and most efficient of its kind in the world, this new vessel will operate on Antarctic fishing grounds, spending extended periods of time at sea. According to Wärtsilä, it will be fitted out with processing systems to generate high quality krill products, and the design of this new vessel focuses on operational efficiency and minimal environmental impact.

“We are excited to announce our plans for the world’s biggest and most advanced krill trawler,” said CMI’s CEO Laurent Wang.

For the first time in a century, humans are facing a sudden, overwhelming threat that genuinely affects us all

‘‘

Looking after our own

Production Ian Swain, David Blake, Gary Betteridge production@mercatormedia.com

These are extraordinary times, a global peacetime crisis of the kind that hasn’t been seen for a century.

The disruption that is part of this has also thrown into sharp relief just how interconnected a world we live in. As the FAO’s Auden Lem points out elsewhere in these pages, value chains in fisheries are long, complex and international, even in ordinary times.

These are far from ordinary times, and the value chains are still long – and now they are even more complex than ever.

Predictably, it hasn’t taken long for angry voices to pipe up, arguing that we need to look after our own, that boats from ‘over there’ shouldn’t be landing ‘here’ – wherever your ‘here’ happens to be – and that people should be buying ‘our’ fish, not some imported stuff.

There have been sit-ins on quaysides, angry exchanges over catches being landed and trucked elsewhere, demands for produce that’s not local to be boycotted, veiled threats of direct action, and calls for calm as level heads make efforts to cool overheated tempers before the torches and pitchforks are broken out.

If there’s one lesson to be learned from this whole Covid affair, it’s that there’s no selectivity at play here. The virus isn’t fussy about who it takes.

For the first time in a century, humans are facing a sudden, overwhelming threat that genuinely affects us all. Nobody’s immune from this wretched illness and the business of fishing, aquaculture and seafood as a whole has been hit hard by it – as has virtually every aspect of business and industry worldwide.

When times are tough, politicians are very fond of telling us that we’re all in this together, especially when that demonstrably isn’t the case, but for the first time in several generations, practically all of us really are in the same boat.

Getting to whatever the new post-Covid normal is going to be could mean a long, slow recovery, but this virus isn’t going to last for ever. If there was ever a time when the instinctive reaction is the wrong one, then it’s now. Closing doors is one thing – slamming them shut is another.

Those long, complex, international value chains haven’t gone away.

They ought to be nurtured rather than smashed – because before long we’re going to need them.

RUSSIAN FISH PRODUCERS AND PROCESSORS CALL FOR SUPPORT Leading fish producers and processors have called on the Russian government to provide support this year, to help them to avoid massive losses due to COVID-19 and any possible suspension of catching activity, reports Eugene Gerden.

Producers have stated that the introduction of quarantine measures by the Russian government poses a serious threat to the fishing season in the Sea of Okhotsk, a centre of pollock production. The industry standpoint is that this could lead to large-scale underfishing, which in the case of pollock alone could amount to 250,000 tonnes in volume and US$350 million in value terms for the Far East fishing sector.

The situation in the northern region is even more complex, as most trawlers operating in this area can not enter foreign ports to change their crews or discharge, due to quarantine restrictions.

The processing sector has already asked the government to ease the existing counter sanctions regime, imposed in 2015,

VARPE also requests the dropping of deadlines for the construction of new tonnage under the investment quotas programme under which Russian shipyards have contracts to deliver 43 new vessels by the end of 2025.

Currently, any failures to meet delivery dates may lead to fines and the suspension of quotas.

which led to the restriction of fish imports to Russia. According to processors, the introduction of counter sanctions resulted in a shortage of fish on the Russian market and forced processors to raise prices for their products.

By enabling a bigger and more efficient vessel, the Wärtsilä design allows the operator’s quota to be reached with a greatly reduced carbon footprint since less fuel is

burned, which correspondingly reduces emission levels.

“Wärtsilä was a natural choice for us, following the excellent collaboration in designing the Shen Lan. They have proven to be a capable and reliable partner for us, and we are happy to strengthen our co-operation with them,” said CMI CEO Laurent Wang.

While the 115 metre Shen Lan, ordered for CMI company Jiangsu Sunline Deep Sea Fisheries Co, is approaching completion, work is in progress on the new vessel with initial designs to be completed during the second quarter of this year, and delivery of the vessel is planned for 2023.

“Learning by listening to the customer is central to Wärtsilä’s ship design approach, and we have worked in close cooperation with CMI to establish the precise requirements for successful krill fishing.

SAMHERJI INVESTS IN CHARR CAPACITY

Three new bore holes are being drilled at Samherji’s land-based fish farming site at Grindavík in southern Iceland. This is to ensure water economy following last year’s expansion and to prepare for the next phase of expansion as significant investment is put into increasing the farm’s capacity.

The site at Staður near Grindavík operates both a nursery and on-growing facilities for Arctic charr.

After hatching, alevins are transferred from the hatchery at Núpar to the nurseries at the Grindavík site. The fish are reared at the nurseries for 10-12 months or until they reach a weight of 100 grammes. Then they are moved from the nurseries to on-growing sites where the charr are kept under optimal conditions in tanks with high-quality brackish water.

When harvesting, fish are pumped from the tanks and transported live to the company’s processing plant in Sandgerði for slaughter and processing.

The drilling of the new bore holes has been successful despite the need for new procedures due to the current pandemic.

Construction is well underway and

activation of new wells is expected by the end of June.

“This will significantly increase the capacity of the farm. We are pumping massive amounts of water. When construction is complete, the station will be able to pump two and a half cubic metres of seawater per second,” says Hjalti Bogason, director of Samherji Fishfarming’s operations in the Southern Peninsula Region.

The site in Grindavík was recently granted an expansion of its operating license to 3000 tonnes and Samherji Fishfarming also has a license for 1600 tonnes at Vatnsleysa.

According to Hjalti Bogason, fish farming in the Southern Peninsula Region will be able to produce almost 4000 tonnes of Arctic charr when this part of the project is completed.

Samherji Fishfarming is currently the world’s leading producer of Arctic charr, with about 3800 tonnes per year, which is almost half of all farmed Arctic charr produced worldwide.

The future of fishing

FOSTERING GREATER FAITH IN FARMED FISH Do retailers need to be more upfront about what’s gone into the aquaculture products they’re selling? A new report insists that they do, writes Jason Holland

8 “We feel that provenance and production labelling across farmed animal products should be improved, and aquaculture products are no exception,” Natasha Hurley of the Changing Markets Foundation

The farming of fish and other seafoods is widely advocated as a means to safeguard food security. There’s good reason for this conviction. In terms of global output, aquaculture continues to grow faster than any other major food supply sector, and by 2030 it’s expected to provide at least 60% of the seafood that we – the human race – consumes.

The culturing of healthy and nutritious aquatic species has many merits. The sector has also overcome multiple production obstacles, and met the rising consumer demand for its products. But there are still those that have issues with the industry, and positioned high amongst the most common misgivings is the use of wild-caught species in aquaculture diets.

Typically, these feeds contain a rich mix of the marine ingredients fishmeal and fish oil, agricultural crops such as wheat, soy, rapeseed, sunflower and faba, and by-products from human food processing. As has been well documented

by World Fishing & Aquaculture, there’s been a great deal of progress in terms of fish feed innovation. Indeed, whereas a decade ago, these would often contain up to 70% fishmeal and fish oil, these ingredients are now much more selectively used – focusing on specific stages of the production process.

Nevertheless, as illustrated by the new report, “Caught Out: How UK retailers are tackling the use of wild fish in their

8 | MAY 2020

aquaculture supply chains”, the use of wild fish in aquaculture diets remains a part of the value chain that sticks in the craw.

Published by the Changing Markets Foundation and environmental campaign group Feedback, Caught Out insists retailers could and should be doing a lot more to address this issue. It claims that UK consumers are eating around two-and-a-half times the amount of fish that they think when opting for farmed species.

As well as scoring the top 10 supermarkets according to the sustainability of the farmed seafood that they sell, the report has calculated that by eating 103,000 tonnes of the top six farmed fish species (including salmon, warmwater prawns and seabass) in 2019, the nation’s shoppers unwittingly consumed 177,000 tonnes of wild fish, simply because of the fishmeal and fish oil in their diet. It states that this equates to a hidden 172g of wild fish consumed for every 100g of farmed fish eaten, and that almost all of the former could have been eaten directly by people.

ENGAGING CONSUMERS According to Changing Markets and Feedback, decades of awareness raising by marine charities means that the UK public is largely aware of the need to buy wild fish and seafood products that are not fished in unsustainable or

For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

INSIGHT illegal ways. On the flip-side, though, they point to there being little awareness of product origins or of different aquaculture methods. Their research also finds that shoppers have good reason to be confused, identifying that some farmed-seafood products are not clearly labelled as such or are inconsistently labelled, and that there’s no information about what farmed fish were fed.

In the wake of recent food scandals, there’s increased public concern about the origin of the food we are sold, says the report, adding that it’s vital UK supermarkets take responsibility for clear and transparent communication about the products on their shelves, and for ensuring the sustainability of their farmed-seafood supply chains.

“We feel that provenance and production labelling across farmed animal products should be improved, and aquaculture products are no exception,” Natasha Hurley of Changing Markets told WF&A. “One reason that there is generally very low consumer awareness of how farmed fish are produced is that supermarkets have been chary of providing clear information to their shoppers, preferring to hide behind vague marketing labels such as M&S’ ‘Lochmuir’ range.”

She continued, “We would like to see labelling that is transparent as to the country of production and producing company, method of farming and feed used, avoiding the use of vague terms such as ‘responsible’. Ideally, each supermarket would also disclose – probably via its website – how much wild fish is used in the diets of the farmed seafood it sells, and where this was sourced.”

Changing Markets is also calling on eco-labelling schemes such as the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) to stop certifying reduction fisheries and farmed fish reliant on the use of wildcaught fish for feed.

DEADLINE FOR ACTION Another of the report’s take home messages is that while a number of retailers stated that they’re looking to reduce the amount of fishmeal and fish oil used by their farmed fish suppliers in feed, none of them have set concrete, timebound, targets for reduction.

“Tesco said it is working with one of its salmon suppliers to increase use of more sustainable feed components, such as algal oil. Waitrose said that it is involved in a number of projects looking at alternatives, including insects and microalgae. Sainsbury’s also said that it is working with a number of feed ingredient suppliers on alternatives including algae, insects and bioproteins. So while certain retailers are taking steps in the right direction, they need to set binding targets to ensure that the sector moves away from this highly unsustainable practice,” she said.

To this end, the report calls on retailers to commit to measures to phasing out the use of wild-caught fish in farmed-fish feed with a target to achieve this goal of no later than 2025. In addition, it urges them to commit to offering a wider range of seafood, including including a greater

‘‘

8 According to Changing Markets and Feedback, shoppers have good reason to be confused

diversity of sustainably caught wild fish and farmed seafood that doesn’t rely on wild fish in feed, such as mussels.

It also wants them to adopt high standards of transparency and corporate policy on their suppliers, including full disclosure of suppliers – from source fisheries upwards, and to reduce their reliance on certification as a proxy for sustainability by developing their own robust, transparent standards.

Hurley also insists that there would be consumers for around 90% of the fish currently being diverted into fishmeal and fish oil production, which means that the catch wouldn’t lose value or fishers lose jobs. Last year, Changing Markets conducted on-the-ground investigations in three fishmeal and fish oil-producing countries (India, Indonesia and Vietnam). This analysis found that, far from securing livelihoods, the exponential growth of the industry is diverting a key source of protein away from some of the world’s poorest communities, she explained.

“Our research for this report revealed how heavily reliant retailers and aquafeed producers are on certification as a proxy for sustainability. However, our investigation last year found that fishmeal, fish oil and aquafeed plants with proven links to highly unsustainable fishing practices are certified by, or are members of, IFFO. We would argue that fishing for feed is inherently unsustainable, and therefore reduction fisheries should not be certified at all.”

Essentially, Changing Markets and Feedback maintain that the supermarkets’ role as intermediaries between aquaculture producers and the buying public means they are the most powerful players in the market, and as such, they have “a critical responsibility” to hold their suppliers to account, and to guarantee that ocean stewardship is upheld.

Also comes the suggestion that they should use their “huge power” to shape public tastes and buying choices, and to educate consumers on the impact of different types of seafood consumption. It’s a compelling argument.

VIGO WORKS TO KEEP ITS FISHERIES VALUE CHAIN GOING

Credit: FAO/Miguel Riopa

On almost any given day, at four-thirty in the morning, while most people are still sleeping, Europe’s biggest fishing port in Vigo is in full swing

In normal times, shouts ring out from the multitude of workers offloading containers of fish from ships docked at the landing site. They cart the broad variety of fish to a series of on-site processing rooms, where containers are stacked high. Skilled workers wield sharp knives at their workstations, where they expertly cut and prepare fish fillets at record speed.

In the port halls, traceability labels with bar codes are added to each carton, clearly indicating the species, method of catch, and the FAO fishing zone from which it was harvested.

Despite the darkness of night that casts its silence on this Galician coastal city, the grand halls of the port are filled to the brim and transformed into raucous spaces as competing auctioneers shout into their megaphones. They sing out prices in Spanish and Galician, attempting to entice customers into purchasing the fish stacked high in cartons around them. Their words are lost in the cacophony of bids that echo throughout the halls as crowds weave their way around the containers loaded with the bounties of the sea.

Spain is one of the countries that has been most affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. It is also the country that consumes the largest amounts of fish and seafood in Europe, at around 42.80kg per capita annually.

KEEPING OPERATIONS GOING To ensure food reaches consumers, who are largely quarantined in their homes, supply chains must be maintained. Therefore, Vigo’s port continues to be operational, while simultaneously

8 Spain is Europe’s largest consumer of fish and seafood – but in times of crises, consumer behaviour changes and value chains are affected.

The fresh fish market has been adversely affected

protecting the health and welfare of its workers all along the fisheries value chain. But this is no small feat.

“We have adopted, inasmuch as possible, the teleworking technology… in this way, we haven’t reduced staff, even if we have drastically reduced presence at the port premises. This is working reasonably well,” said Vigo Port Authority President Enrique López-Veiga.

“There are very few workers present on the premises, so interpersonal distance requirements are met. Hygiene and constant cleaning are also a must [to be in line with new regulations]. The biggest challenges are to keep the Port of Vigo fully operational, especially when it comes to the fresh fish market. This is a daily operation, since frozen fish depends less on the day-to-day marketing and storage.”

CONSUMERS IN A CRISIS Vigo’s struggles are not unique. These effects are being felt throughout fisheries value chains around the world. Fish provide more than 20% of the average per capita animal protein intake for 3 billion people, more than 50% in some less developed countries, and it is one of the most traded food commodities globally. Thus, the impact on the livelihoods of fisher communities, food security, nutrition and trade, especially in those countries that rely heavily on the fishing sector, is expected to be significant.

In addition to the challenges in the fisheries sector, the crisis has also affected the way consumers behave and what

For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

they buy. This is especially noticeable in a country like Spain with high levels of fish consumption.

“Because of the restrictions on movement, customers are no longer going to the markets and that decreases the demand on fresh fish, but especially on the high price products like shellfish and crustaceans. Those are products that consumers abandon quickly in a crisis,” explained Enrique López-Veiga.

“This results in a general decrease of prices paid to producers, especially to the artisanal and small-scale fisheries sector.”

“We are pleased to see Vigo’s impressive efforts to keep its fisheries supply chains operational in these difficult times,” said Audun Lem, Deputy-Director of FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department.

“Fisheries value chains are extremely long, complex and international, even in ordinary times. We appreciate the extraordinary efforts undertaken around the world during the current crisis to keep supply chains open and to ensure that healthy fish and seafood products, a key component of nutritious diets, are reaching the end consumer.”

A big proponent of small-scale fisheries, Vigo has, in recent years, been active in innovating and promoting its role as a Blue Port, focusing on conservation of the marine environment, while simultaneously improving the socioeconomic and labour conditions of those whose livelihoods depend on the port and its activities.

Vigo has been partnering with FAO and other ports around the world to create a network of sustainable Blue Ports, to support each other in exchanges of information and international training in areas such as fisheries inspections.

In the time of COVID-19, this network and collaboration of ports provides the added benefit of sharing experiences in responding to the crisis and, eventually, in bouncing back once the crisis has been resolved.

According to Enrique López-Veiga, the port is already taking stock of lessons learned during this crisis.

“We think that the path the Vigo port has taken, on transparency, traceability, quality and sustainability, which implies a high degree of informatisation and control of the systems - has facilitated the implementation of the extraordinary measures we are now facing. This reaffirms our belief that we must keep advancing along this line in the future.”

Europe’s largest fishing port will once again buzz with ceaseless activity, sounds and movement, and Vigo and its network of Blue Ports will help build a stronger and more resilient fisheries value chains around the globe.

Amidst a crisis of this magnitude, the problems often

appear insurmountable, and solidarity and a sense of community can be crucial to overcoming the challenges in guaranteeing that the food chain continues to operate.

According to Enrique López-Veiga, community support has been vital to the port’s ability to carry out its operations in these difficult weeks.

“As times goes by, stakeholders are increasingly aware of the need for self-discipline and solidarity. In that sense, we in Vigo may be proud about how things are developing in the port community, which reflects what is happening throughout the entire country.”

FAO is helping support countries through this COVID-19 pandemic. By providing policy recommendations on a variety of areas related to food and agriculture and offering a portal to share national strategies and policies, FAO is working to ensure that the impacts of COVID-19 on the food and agriculture sectors does not fall solely or irrevocably on the poor and food insecure. FAO is making sure these voices are heard and is standing beside countries in their responses during this difficult time.

FISH FARMING GROWS IN BRAZIL DESPITE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Fish farming grew 4.90% in 2019 in Brazil, with 758,000 tonnes of fish produced in the country, reports Eduardo Campos Lima

8 Brazilian fish farmers produced 758,000 tonnes of fish in 2019

The main Brazilian aquaculture association considers the results could have been better, but poor economic growth of the South American country last year, only 1.10%, restricted further progress.

The Brazilian Association of Pisciculture (known as Peixe BR) was positive when releasing the 2019 industry results, considering that several elements in the came together to generate some challenging prospects.

Most of the Brazilian production is sold domestically, especially tilapia. Given that national consumption didn’t grow in 2019, such a moderate expansion was only natural, said Francisco Medeiros, president of Peixe BR. In fact, the three major animal proteins consumed in Brazil – beef, pork, and poultry – saw an overall growth of only 1.70% in 2019.

At the same time, the production of tilapia faced a cyclical crisis in Brazil between 2018 and 2019.

“In the second half of 2018 and the initial months of 2019, there was a big rise in the stocks of tilapia, which generated smaller prices to producers,” said Francisco Medeiros, commenting that from the second half of 2019 on, most producers reduced tilapia population.

“The result is that now we’re facing a shortage of tilapia,” he said.

Nevertheless, the species’ volume grew 8% in 2019, now representing 57% of the total fish production in the country. In 2018, its share corresponded to 54.1%. Tilapia production amounted to 432,149 tonnes last year.

12 | MAY 2020

This result consolidated Brazil’s position as the fourth biggest tilapia producer in the world, only behind China, Indonesia, and Egypt, and ahead of Thailand and the Philippines. The volume of exports, however, remains low.

The country exported only 5300 tonnes in 2019, corresponding to less than US$10 million in value terms.

The continued decrease in the production of native fish, according to Francisco Medeiros, has in the past few years been one of the elements affecting the general results of pisciculture in Brazil.

“The segment of native fish has been falling in the last years. But in 2019 it remained stable. Nevertheless, it certainly has significantly affected the business in Brazil,” he said.

8 Prior to the current crisis, Brazilian fish farmers have been confident of more robust sales to China

For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

NEW HORIZONS In 2018, the production of native fish had fallen 4.70%, so the small increase of 20 tonnes last year – out of a total of 288,000 tonnes – was the sign of a possible trend reversal. But there are many challenges that companies and the government still have to face in order to resume a sustainable expansion in that sector. Peixe BR pointed out that the main obstacles include infrastructural, sanitary, and environmental issues.

Among the species grouped in this category, mostly round fish, tambaqui has the largest share of Brazilian production.

The state of Amazonas, in the northern part of the country, is the main hub of tambaqui producers. Along with matrinxã and pirarucu, the production of tambaqui had a surprising recovery in 2019 in Amazonas. The total volume amounted to 20,600 tonnes, representing an increase of 35%. But the expansion corresponded only to make up for the past years’ losses, occurred because of hygiene problems.

The recent introduction of pangasius to Brazilian pisciculture led to positive results in dierent states and provoked an overall growth in the ‘other species’ category in 2019, an umbrella classification that historically includes trout and carp. In some areas, such as the State of Rio Grande do Norte, pangasius already accounts for 40% of production.

There was a growth of 8.7% of this group’s of species last year, with a total production of 38,000 tonnes.

Prior to the current crisis, for 2020, the fish farming companies associated to Peixe BR expect better figures, mainly betting on a rising domestic consumption and on more robust sales to China.

In relation to the exports, the industry has been holding meetings with the Brazilian ministry of agriculture, which is

also in charge of fishing and aquaculture, in order to promote faster processes of accreditation for companies which desire to sell to China.

Given that the Brazilian ministry is preparing such an initiative along with the Chinese government, producers believe that there’s a growing interest from China in the Brazilian fish and expect that particularly tilapia production could benefit from it.

Several companies have declared, according to Peixe BR, that they will increase their investments in infrastructure and technology in 2020.

8 Jonge Johannes has been built by Maaskant Shipyards for the de Boer family

The hull of the 32 metre, 9.60 metre breadth Jonge Johannes was fabricated in Poland and brought to the Maaskant yard in Stellendam for fitting out. Designed to operate as a twin-rigger during the summer while targeting flatfish, during the winter months Jonge Johannes is expected to switch to seine netting for mixed fish in the Channel.

The design and layout of Jonge Johannes have been developed by naval architect Vripack, working with the owners and the yard. Jonge Johannes has a 1324kW ABC 8DZC main engine driving a Reintjes WGF 1973 reduction gear with a 8.379:1 ratio to turn a 3400mm diameter four-bladed propeller. Auxiliary engines are a pair of 492kW Caterpillar C18s, plus a 108kW C4.4 harbour set. Promac supplied the DDS 3000 60 steering gear and bow thruster.

Stellendam company Wetec fitted the complete electrical system on board.

The owners of Jonge Johannes went to VCU in Urk for much of the technology on board, including the electric Ósey Urk winches and control system. This has been developed by VCU in partnership with Dromec to deliver a winch system capable of handling both trawling and fly-shooting.

VCU supplied the twin combination winches which have capacity for 4000 metres of 50mm seine rope, plus a separate middle wire winch capable of holding 850 metres of steel wire rope, a pair of 12.50m3 split net drums and a winch control system. A key feature of the main winches is the capacity to shoot seine rope at high speed under control, and without the drums being clutched out of the motors.

There is more than thirty years of experience behind the Ósey Urk winches – as the then-Ósey shipyard in Iceland was the first to develop systems for seine rope to be hauled direct onto the winch drums. Since then the Ósey technology has been developed at VCU, and bringing Dromec into this

has made it possible to develop an electric package.

The system on board Jonge Johannes features automatic wire-spooling control, automatic hauling with equal speed and tension on the ropes or warps, programmable hauling speeds, synchronised control of the winches and autotrawl function, door sensor data integration, automatic overload detection and protection), and a vessel turning mode.

Jonge Johannes has twin rig trawl and fly-shooting gear on board, plus a package of equipment supplied by VCU that includes two sets of 3500 metres of 50mm combirope, two 500 metre sets of 24mm Dyneema warp, 500 metres of 26mm steel wire rope for the centre weight, complete sets of rubbered sweeplines and a variety of steel and Dyneema ropes for handling doors, clump and catches. Trawl doors are a pair of 6.50m2 Type 22s from Thyborøn Trawldoor.

There’s more from VCU on board Jonge Johannes, as the Urk Co-operative was also selected to provide the catch handling system, with an arrangement capable of handling larger single-species hauls of flatfish during the summer, while being versatile enough to cope with the wider variety of mixed fish when fly-shooting.

VCU’s technical designers started with a 3D overview of the proposed catch handling system, and following approval by the client, the system was produced in VCU’s own stainless steel workshops. The system was installed and commissioned on board at the TB Shipyards in Harlingen.

The VCU catch processing system at deck level is optimised for grading fish in a short processing time, while keeping them separate and maintaining optimum quality.

The Catch Management System for grading, weighing and recording fish as it is iced and boxed is located in the fishroom, and is linked with the VCU CatchManagement Software in the wheelhouse.

FISHING TECHNOLOGY Doctoral student Melissa Cronin of the University of California, Santa Cruz, is the Grand Prize winner in ISSF’s International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) Seafood Sustainability Contest.

She receives a $45,000 prize from ISSF for her contest entry, Incentivizing Collaborative Release to Reduce Elasmobranch Bycatch Mortality, which proposes handling-and-release methods that purse-seine vessel skippers and crew can use to reduce the mortality of manta rays and devil rays incidentally caught during tuna fishing.

Her proposal examines the options of co-operative workshops with purse seine skippers and observers, offering financial rewards for the design, testing, and onboard implementation of feasible, scalable techniques for safely removing rays from vessel decks.

It also includes training observers in tagging rays to track their post-release survival. Rays, in addition to sharks, are the species groups most vulnerable in the purse-seine fishery. In the Indian Ocean rays comprise the majority of by-catch in freeschool tuna sets, and by-catch overall on such sets represents 0.9% of the total catch, 34% of which is rays.

WINNING PROPOSAL ADDRESSES PROTECTIONS FOR MANTA AND DEVIL RAYS In addition to the $40,000 Grand Prize, the award includes a trip to a tuna event. ISSF will arrange for Melissa Cronin to present her proposal at a Regional Fisheries Management Organization (RFMO) event this year.

“Through this competition, we’re pleased to reward promising research ideas from up-and-coming marine and fisheries scientists,” commented Dr. Victor Restrepo, ISSF Vice President, Science and Chair of the ISSF Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC), who headed the contest’s judging panel.

“The thoughtful proposal is based on collaborative problem-solving between fishers and scientists – a successful model ISSF follows in our Skippers Workshops worldwide.

Our workshops have focused on finding new approaches in tuna fisheries to protect sharks and other non-tuna species, for example.”

The judging panel evaluated contest entries on the basis of originality, conservation impact, impact on skipjack catches, degree to which idea has been tested, feasibility of industry-

wide implementation, and cost effectiveness.

In addition to Dr. Restrepo, the panel included Dr. Josu Santiago of AZTITecnalia, Dr. Laurent Dagorn of Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD), ISSF science consultant Dr. Gala Moreno, and OPAGAC scientific officer Miguel Herrera.

Guillermo Ortuno Crespo, a researcher at the Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab at Duke University, receives a $10,000 prize as the contest Runner-up Winner for his proposal, Dynamic Habitat Predictions of Two Bycaught Oceanic Shark Species. His proposal focuses on predicting the dynamic, spatial distribution of non-target and sometimes target species based on their environmental preferences.

This study explores the dynamic habitats of Carcharhinus longimanus and C. falciformis in the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) region, to help predict where fisheries-shark by-catch interactions are likely to occur.

AQUACULTURE

CABINET SECRETARY PAYS TRIBUTE TO FISH FARMERS Scotland’s Cabinet Secretary Fergus Ewing has paid tribute to fish farming workers for keeping the supply of fresh salmon, trout and shellfish reaching UK supermarkets While the sector has been adapting its operations from farm to factory to protect workers’ health, the effort to deliver fresh salmon has continued. Fergus Ewing acknowledged the many barriers that the coronavirus outbreak has placed in the sector’s way and the importance of the fish farming.

“Everybody involved in Scottish aquaculture has shown how important they are, continuing to deliver more than one million healthy meals to people throughout Scotland and the UK, every single day,” he said.

“The Scottish Government’s view is clear. Food is part of our national critical infrastructure and businesses like yours can continue to operate, but only if you adhere strictly to the guidance in place for social distancing and abide by strict health and safety guidelines.”

Julie Hesketh-Laird, chief executive of Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation, welcomed the public support for salmon farmers.

“In this challenging situation, it is helpful to have the clarity around the essential nature of fish farming, and also heartening that the Cabinet Secretary has taken time to acknowledge the important people working to rear our world-class salmon and supply customers with healthy fish,” she said.

“Of course, this sector also relies on the support of vets, processors, hauliers, divers and many more and we are delighted that their continuing work has also been acknowledged.”

Julie Hesketh-Laird also outlined some of the ways in which salmon farming companies are changing operations to respect social distancing rules. Workforces have been scaled back and new rota systems introduced allowing the minimum number of staff to cover core activities. Start and finish times have been staggered to ensure that social

distancing guidelines are adhered to. In processing plants, screens have been erected to shield workers and maintain a safe distances. Protective equipment and additional hygiene measures have also been introduced.

AKVA group secures large Tubenet deal AKVA group has signed a contract for delivery of its patented Tubenet system to seven locations in Norway. The contract has a value of NoK100 million.

“Extensive testing over a period of time has shown a significant reduction in lice infestations. It is a great recognition for AKVA group to deliver Tubenets to several locations in Norway,” said Hans-Øyvind Sagen, SVP Sales & Marketing at AKVA Group Nordic.

Tubenot keeps the fish at depths where lice presence is minimal. As the fish head up to the surface to refill swim bladders with air, they are protected by the tarpaulin encircling the tube in the middle, all the way up to the water line.

Inside the tube, which can be 60 to 90 metres in circumference, the salmon are

also fed. Studies by the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research suggests an 80% drop in lice infestations in fish farms with Tubenet.

“We strongly believe in Tubenet as an effective contributor to salmon lice challenges. If you manage to separate lice and salmon during periods of more lice

pressure without compromising either fish welfare or production efficiency, it could significantly reduce companies’ production costs - and increase fish welfare accordingly,” Hans-Øyvind Sagen said.

Salmon lice have been a predominant challenge, affecting the Norwegian fish farming industry with around NoK15 billion in annual extra costs related to fish loss, in the form of delousing operations and treatments.

In addition, the lice challenge can lead to a number of adverse effects for both wild salmon and the environment near fish farms.

The customer has ordered the same Tubenet concept for a location in Scotland.

“It will be exciting to see the concept put to use outside of Norway,” Hans-Øyvind Sagen said.

SIMPLE TECHNIQUES DOUBLE CRABLET PRODUCTION

Photo: DevCom Section

Crab farmers will be happier, and the environment hopefully better, with recent improvements at the SEAFDEC/AQD mangrove crab hatchery at Iloilo in the Philippines

Crablets used in the farming of the prized mangrove crabs, Scylla serrata, are usually collected from the wild and increasing demand has threatened their natural population with crablets becoming more difficult to find.

“Overfishing has pushed the local government of areas heavily exploited for crablets such as Catanduanes, Surigao, and Samar. They have implemented strict prohibitions in the collection of wild crablets,” said Joana Joy Huervana, associate researcher at the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/ AQD) and leader of the mangrove crab team.

Restrictions on wild collections in the Philippines led to the rise in demand for hatchery-bred crablets. Unfortunately, crab hatcheries suffer from very low survival rates caused by disease and cannibalism.

However, Joana Joy Huervana recently revealed that simple tweaks in protocols at the SEAFDEC/AQD hatchery have led to a significant boost in their crablet production, with survival increasing twofold.

By feeding the crabs more frequently and providing cleaner water in the tanks, Joana Joy Huervana reported that they were able to increase the average survival rate from zoea (newly-hatched larvae) stage to crablet, from an average of 1% in 2017 to 2% in 2019.

2% might seem low to those unfamiliar with the hatchery business, but she said that crabs produce an average of 3 million larvae which translates to 60,000 crablets per spawning animal. She further disclosed that SEAFDEC sells crablets, as a by-product of research, at US$0.10 per piece but wild crablets sold by traders in the Philippines fetch as much as US$0.24 to US$0.30 each.

20 | MAY 2020

8 Crablets produced in the mangrove crab hatchery of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Aquaculture Department in Iloilo, Philippines where simple adjustments in feeding and water change doubled crablet production

The simple tweaks helped them achieve the higher survival rate from zoea to crablet, reaching as much as 10% last year, which contributed to the hatchery’s production of over 650,000 pieces of crablets for 2019.

INCREASED FEEDING FREQUENCY, CLEANER WATER “Feeding frequency was increased from four to six times a day with an interval of four hours,” Joana Joy Huervana said, commenting that this is based on the crabs’ biomass at 100% feeding rate.

She said the intervention worked because cannibalism among the crabs is more prominent starting in the megalopa stage (intermediate larval phase), therefore increasing the available feeds, together with providing additional shelters in the larval tanks, increased the survival.

“As for the water replacement, the interval was shortened from five to four days. Siphoning of tank bottom to remove dead larvae, microalgae, and feeds is done every three days to further improve water quality. Also, monitoring of water parameters was consistently conducted,” she added.

“These techniques were tested throughout the years and were proven effective. It could also be easily adapted by hatchery owners and other stakeholders.”

She commented that further improvements are still being done in the SEAFDEC/AQD hatchery, not only to cope with the industry’s demand for crablets, but also to improve the science behind the technology of mangrove crab hatchery.

“We do our share in alleviating the pressure caused by overfishing in the wild by continuously improving production techniques of our mangrove crab hatchery to share with our stakeholders.”

AQUACULTURE

GENETICS KEY TO TILAPIA LAKE VIRUS (TiLV) RESISTANCE Hopes are high that these results will greatly improve the protection of farmed tilapia stocks. Since its detection in Israel in 2014, Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV) has ravaged tilapia populations in 16 countries across Asia, Africa and South America, and caused mortalities of up to 90%.

Arguably the biggest disease threat to tilapia farming and one of the biggest for global aquaculture, several stages of the tilapia life cycle from fingerlings to adults can be affected.

Both wild and farmed fish are susceptible, with clinical signs including behavioural changes, discolouration, loss of scales, skin haemorrhages, open wounds, eyeball protrusion and abdominal swelling. Fish can also be lethargic at the surface or be found gasping.

There is currently no cure for viral diseases in aquaculture.

Although vaccines and selective breeding have proved successful in reducing the severity of some, there are currently some knowledge gaps relating to TiLV with no effective or affordable vaccines available.

Now, a new study published in the journal Aquaculture has found that there is substantial genetic variation in the resistance of tilapia to the virus, with some families showing no mortalities to TiLV and others showing very high mortalities.

The finding is offering hope that breeding programmes could be key to tackling one of the worst diseases to hit the global fish farming industry in recent years.

With funding from the UK government and through the framework of the CGIAR Research Program on Fish AgriFood Systems, researchers from the University of Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute and WorldFish analysed the genes of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT), in an attempt to estimate the levels of genetic variation for resistance to TiLV. “The Roslin Institute has been working in partnership with WorldFish to improve selective breeding for Nile tilapia, “ said Professor Ross Houston, lead author of the study and personal chair of aquaculture genetics at the Roslin Institute.

“This has included developing genomic tools and looking at new target traits for genetic improvement. One of these traits is disease resistance. In this case, we took advantage of an outbreak in a tilapia pond where many different families of tilapia were affected. Using the data from survivors and mortalities from this outbreak, and how this varies across families, we were able to show that resistance to TiLV is highly heritable.”

Using data from 1821 pedigreed fish from 124 different families of tilapia collected during and after the pond outbreak, Houston and his team defined resistance using binary survival and days-to-death traits. They were able to record mortality levels because the fish contained electronic tags, which were used to assign individuals to specific families. Using the pedigree for the fish affected by the outbreak, it was also possible to separate how much of the variation in mortality was due to genetics, and how much was due to other reasons such as environmental factors.

TILV RESISTANCE HIGHLY HERITABLE The results showed that resistance to TiLV was highly heritable, with about 50-60% of the variation in mortality due

A new study has found that resistance to Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV) appears to be due to differences in genes between families of the same fish, reports Bonnie Waycott

to genetics (this is particularly high for a disease resistance trait). Some families of tilapia had zero mortality while others had a 100% death rate, meaning that selective breeding for improved resistance is likely to be highly effective. The team was also able to show that selecting for improved resistance to TiLV is unlikely to have any impact on the growth of the fish and may also benefit farmers’ yields. The study also stated that using data from a natural pond outbreak, as opposed to a controlled experiment, better reflected the method of infection in terms of time of exposure and spread within the population.

The selective breeding of fish with genes that are resistant to TiLV is said to be one way of limiting the damage of this disease, but there are some technical and legislative barriers to overcome, according to Ross Houston.

“The technical barriers are related to the fact that a reliable and repeatable TiLV experimental challenge model would be required to maximise the potential for breeding for TiLV resistance,” he said.

“There is a lot of research on developing such challenge models and with some promising results to date, so this is likely to be overcome soon. This would avoid having to rely on pond outbreak data to use for breeding, where it is difficult to predict where and when outbreaks will occur.”

Genomic tools could also be extremely useful to identify genetic markers that could be used to predict TiLV resistance breeding values, even in the absence of disease challenge data on close relatives, he added.

one of the major sources of animal protein, particularly in developing countries in Asia, South America and Africa and can be farmed under a variety of systems from extensive backyard ponds to large, commercial operations, with little environmental impact. It’s also an affordable source of food for many people and a healthy source of nutrients and essential fatty acids.

Factors such as these make it all the more important for tilapia producers to consider a host of options to increase the chances of avoiding TiLV. In addition to considering disease resistance and using specific pathogen-free tilapia stocks for breeding programmes, investing in advanced molecular diagnostics will enable farmers to determine whether individuals are virus-free at different stages of the tilapia life cycle. Other key preventive steps include screening live tilapia entering a country as seed or broodstock for aquaculture purposes, contingency plans for possible outbreaks and regular biosecurity audits and disease surveillance programmes.

“Improvements in biosecurity are always important and this can be related to transparency and communication,” said Ross Houston.

“There is other research that is targeting the development of vaccines, which would also be very useful, but in addition to cost issues they are very difficult to administer to young tilapia which can be badly affected by TiLV. In this sense, genetics and breeding are definitely major opportunities here.”

Together with WorldFish, the Roslin Institute is part of an ambitious and active research programme where genomic tools are being developed to find genes and markers linked to disease resistance. Hopes are high that the study by both

organisations could lead to new opportunities to improve breeding for disease resistance. Further research will also be required to evaluate the genetic architecture of host resistance to TiLV and evaluate the possibility of marker-assisted or genomic selection to expedite the breeding of tilapia strains with improved resistance to the virus, according to the study.

“It would be very interesting to find out the reasons underlying why some families are seemingly fully resistant, and others fully susceptible in our study,” Ross Houston commented.

“This is both scientifically important and also has potential applications to provide new solutions to tackle the disease.”

NEWBUILD

CRYSTAL SEA: AMBITION FULFILLED FOR FISHING FAMILY There are longstanding links between the Macduff Shipyard and the Stevens family, whose name is synonymous with the St Ives-registered Crystal Sea SS-118, reports Dave Moore With a fishing background that goes back generations, the Crystal Sea name came to Cornwall when David Stevens Sr bought his first Macduff-built trawler in 1989. Since then there have been several trawlers carrying the name, each one a step up towards greater efficiency and technological sophistication – and the latest Crystal Sea is the first newbuild for the family as it began fishing under skippers David and Alec Stevens, who took over the seagoing side of the business some years ago when David Stevens Sr stepped ashore.

When the Stevens family went to Macduff looking for a new trawler, the starting point of the design process was their exiting vessel, a 21.20 metre former prawn trawler built in 2008 and also a Macduff build. In the intervening years the technology has moved on and the design of the new Crystal Sea is an evolution of the yard’s previous 24 metre vessels.

At 24.50 metres and with a 7.60 metre beam, Crystal Sea has a longer keel in a design refined to improve fuel efficiency and running speed. CFD technology was used at the first stage to measure the resistance of the new hull against previous designs and to identify areas where further improvements could be made. The hull lines were faired by Macduff Ship Design who then used the virtual model to produce a detailed set of kit construction plans and assess the stability. The kit was then cut in house by Macduff Profilers, a division of the yard, and the vessel was fabricated, engineered and fully fitted out at Macduff.

After trials had been carried out, the new Crystal Sea had a stormy delivery trip ahead just as an exceptional series of winter storms battered northern Europe. Between Macduff and Newlyn, Crystal Sea called at the Tyne and later at Brixham to sit out the worst of the weather, before arriving in Newlyn.

Below the main deck Crystal Sea is arranged into cabin, engine room, fish hold and forepeak compartments. Under the full-length steel shelterdeck a watertight full-width deckhouse separates the weathertight catch-handling area forward from the gear-handling area on the quarter.

A bulkhead forward on the main deck creates a dedicated winch room, housing the three 15-tonne core pull split trawl winches. The outer warps are run up and across the shelterdeck to the blocks in the trawl gantry, while the centre warp runs under the wheelhouse floor before leading to an opening in the trawl gantry to a hanging block mounted above the centre weight track.

Paired sets of 8-tonne split net drums are arranged side by side at the quarter, in line with the shooting and hauling hatches and two sets of 8-tonne split sweepline winches are mounted on the shelterdeck.

The trawl winches are operated from a control panel in the wheelhouse, positioned to provide full sight of the trawl doors and clump. When towing, the outer warps are chained up to a free running slewing block on a short strop attached to swivel blocks mounted either side on the aft face of the trawl gantry, while the middle warp is worked directly off the winch, allowing the length to be adjusted depending on the gear spread shown by the Simrad PX twin rig Geometry net monitoring system.

24 | MAY 2020

The two outer winch drums are spooled with 22mm warp supplied by Marine Co, while the centre drum carries 24mm wire.

Crystal Sea’s twin-rig gear is from Fraserburgh company Faithlie Trawls, with a pair of 171 foot nets from the previous boat, as well as a new pair of 190 foot nets, all rigged on footropes with 8- and 10-inch discs. The trawls are spread by a set of 3m2 Thyborøn BlueStream Type 22 trawl doors, and a 1150kg middle roller manufactured by Macduff Shipyards.

The catch-handling arrangements reflect the variety of 2530 species of fish that are routinely caught off the SouthWest of England, with a transverse sorting conveyor across the full beam. Gutted and sorted fish go into the two banks of six elevated selection bins, with the contents released into one of three integrated washers, plus there is a secondary washer to port.

Monkfish are taken off the conveyor and placed in a trough on the starboard side before being tailed on a dedicated table, while cuttlefish and squid go into one of two square section chutes that pass through the elevated bins before dropping into baskets. There is also a tank on the deck capable of holding 400kg of brown and spider crab.

In the fishroom selections are weighed, with data stored on the vessel’s VCU catch management system, and a label displaying species, grade, size, time and date, is printed for each box. The fishroom has a working capacity for 700 boxes, and up to 5 tonnes of flake ice can be stored in a full-height locker, directly under the 2.50-tonne Geneglace flake ice machine on the main deck.

NEWBUILD Crystal Sea’s fishfinders are a JRC JFC-1800 BB single frequency (38Hz) echo sounder and a WASSP F3i (160kHz) multibeam sounder. The multibeam unit provides seabed mapping and real-time ground hardness, building up an accurate 3D representation of the bottom, allowing gear to be towed tight to small peaks and ground edges. Data from the WASSP set is displayed through the MaxSea TimeZero chart plotter.

Olex 3D (Woodsons) and Sodena Easywin (SIRM UK) plotting systems support the combination of AIS, ARPA, tides and charts. The main radar is a JRC JMA 53126 BB unit, backed up by JRC JMA-3334. GPS navigators are Furuno GP39 sets and the compass is a JLC JLR 21 satellite compass.

The autopilot is a Navitron NT921G MKII system with three steering tillers and rudder indicators.

Installed by Woodsons, the CCTV system provides images from nine strategically located cameras, in addition to an underwater camera monitoring the propeller and rudder.

ENGINE POWER Crystal Sea has a Caterpillar C32 main engine developing 492kW, dedicated to propulsion, driving a 2500mm fourbladed fixed-pitch Wärtsilä propeller inside a new design of matching Wärtsilä fixed nozzle, through a Masson 9.077:1 reduction gearbox.

Other stern gear elements were designed and manufactured by Macduff Engineering and this is the fifth propulsion system of this design to be fitted by the yard, taking advantage of the C32 engine’s flexibility which can help to extract full power while steaming or trawling.

NEWBUILD

The Admiralty Shipyard in St Petersburg has launched the first of a series of ten ST-192 trawlers for the Russian Fishery Company.

The 108 metre, 21 metre beam Kapitan Vdovichenko was launched at the yard, with fitting out to continue for the coming year and the new trawler is scheduled to be delivered in April 2021.

The second in the series, Mekanik Maslak, is following close behind with equipment being installed on board, while sections for the third and fourth in the series are being assembled at the shipyard.

The new trawlers are designed to operate on Alaska pollock and herring in the Sea of Okhotsk and Bering Sea, with factory decks for frozen production, as well as fishmeal and fish oil, caviar and minced fish. Projected processing capacities are for 60-80 tonnes of fillets or 80 tonnes of surimi per day, as well as 250 tonnes of fish meal.

The design is for a 5500 cubic metre hold.

Accommodation for a crew of up to 139.

“The launch of the first of ten supertrawlers for the Russian Fishery Company is evidence of the effectiveness of the incentive provided by the investment quota programme, as well as today’s opportunities and the positive future of domestic civil shipbuilding,” said Dmitry Sapov, Russian Fishery Company’s deputy director of fleet construction.

“The launch of the lead vessel in the series

8 Kapitan Vdovichenko is due for completion in April 2021

went ahead according to schedule, and we expect that the entire series will be completed on time. It is very important that Russian shipbuilding has received a powerful boost for long-term development. For the first time in a long time, Russian shipyards are secure with orders for several years to come.”

VARD TO BUILD FRAMHERJI TRAWLER Vard has secured a contract worth more than NoK500 million to build a new factory trawler for Faroese company P/F Akraberg, a subsidiary of Framherji.

Developed by Vard Design in Ålesund, the new trawler’s design is a VARD 8 03, a development of the VARD 8 02 which is currently in operation with a number of Norwegian companies. The new trawler will be built at Vard Braila in Romania and brought to the company’s Brattvaag yard for completion and delivery in the second quarter of 2022.

Akraberg’s new vessel will be equipped with the latest technology to ensure high quality, with catches processed, packed and frozen at sea, and with factory waste stored in specialised ensilage tanks. The catch handling layout includes a live fish tank to keep the fish in peak condition before processing.

The 84 metre LOA, 16.70 metre beam trawler will be arranged for triple-rig trawling and will have a 2000m3 refrigerated hold capacity on two decks, as well as 550m3 of ensilage capacity.

The new Akraberg trawler will have hybrid propulsion, combining diesel-mechanical and diesel-electric propulsion, including batteries.

A fully integrated SeaQ Energy Storage System and SeaQ Power Management System is to be delivered by Vard Electro, for optimal power and fuel economy in all operations. The frequency drives for the electrical winches are driven directly from the SeaQ Micro Grid that will increase the efficiency and enable to store regenerated power from winches to the SeaQ Energy Storage System, resulting in environmentally friendly operations.

“We are really looking forward to build our new flagship at Vard, and to take delivery from a Norwegian yard with a broad experience within fisheries and shipbuilding of advanced trawlers. It has been a pleasure for us to be involved in the whole design phase, and we have integrated our ideas and requirements in the project,” said Framherji CEO Anfinn Olsen.
