NEW HORIZONS

Complex negotiations ahead as UK leaves the EU page 14 Shikotan fishing company JSC Gidrostroy had the honour of having Russian President Vladimir Putin press the start button to set its new 900-tonne/day pelagic processing plant rolling.

President Putin was at the Far East Economic Forum in Vladivostok and the start-up at the factory was done remotely, joined by Gidrostroy founder and chairman Alexander Verkhovskiy, who established the Kuril Islandbased company in 1991 and has turned it into one of Russia’s largest pollock harvesters and processors.

BRUSSELS BECOMES BARCELONA Organisers of the annual Seafood Expo Global/ Seafood Processing Global events have announced that next year’s exhibition in Brussels will be the last one before the event moves to a new home in Barcelona in 2021.

After 28 years in Brussels, the 29th Seafood Expo Global will be held at the Fira de Barcelona 27-29th April 2021.

According to organisers Diversified Communications, the decision was taken on the basis of extensive market research after having evaluated venues across Europe. Barcelona’s strong hotel availability is expected to provide attendees and exhibitors considerable value for their investment, along with a larger, modern venue that will present long-term growth opportunities.

“The location of our event contributes to our customers’ overall experience,” said Mary Larkin, President of Diversified Communications USA. “The Brussels Expo and the city of Brussels were great partners to launch and grow this event, and we

Exhibition season

Just think of a bosun running the deck, just as stern but slightly more polite, and you get the picture

It’s that time of year again. It’s the season when those of us who live and breathe fish and fishing pack our glad rags, kiss our loved ones goodbye, and head for trains, planes, buses and exhibitions.

There’s a flurry of fishing industry trade events each spring, and as the leaves turn brown a whole cluster of exhibitions stretches away into the distance. In fact, these events take place all the time and for most of us there’s no way you could get to every exhibition and still get some regular work done.

So it’s a question of picking and choosing, selecting which ones to attend, based on how interesting an exhibition looks, how well (or not) it fits in with the regular grind, how pricey it’s likely to be (and some are eye-watering), and how much of a headache it can be to get to some of these places.

Exhibitions come and go. Some seem to naturally fade away, replaced by others that inevitably pop up to take their places in the gradually changing exhibition landscape.

The big one is Brussels. Although its proper name is Seafood Expo Global, it’s rarely referred to as anything other than just ‘Brussels’.

Everyone knows Brussels. For a couple of decades this has been the Big Daddy of annual seafood events. But after next year Brussels is going to become Barcelona. It’s a gamble to relocate a successful event from one end of Europe to the other, and there have to be some very sound reasons to break that continuity of the long association with the city.

Like Brussels, some exhibitions take on the status almost of institutions, regular events that you have to hope won’t clash with an anniversary or major birthday – unless you’re fortunate enough to have a significant other who likes the opportunity to relax alone in a city (or distant fishing port) while you spend your time either manning a stand or trudging around an exhibition hall.

It’s also no simple matter organising these things. WF&A’s stablemate is the Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition (23rd-25th September 2020, in case you were wondering), so there’s a little first-hand experience here.

Getting everything to click, often in a distant city, isn’t for the faint of heart. If you’re at an exhibition and it runs like clockwork, then don’t be tempted to imagine it just happens by itself. The reality is that there’s a flint-eyed enforcer somewhere out of sight ruthlessly ensuring everything slots neatly into place.

Just think of a bosun running the deck, just as stern but slightly more polite, and you get the picture.

EUROPÊCHE DEFENDS SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES SUBSIDIES AT WTO Participating in a high level event in Geneva focusing on trade, climate change and ocean economy, European fishing industry body Europêche gave full support to an ambitious multilateral agreement aimed at abolishing damaging fishery subsidies – but defended financial aid to modernise fishing vessels and to improve energy efficiency.

Europêche managing director Daniel Voces emphasised that these investments must be subject to very restrictive conditions so as to avoid any increase in the overall capacity of fleets and to fully respect international goals.

“While EU funding policies are strongly oriented towards sustainable fisheries, reduction of emissions, adjustment of fishing capacity, control and data collection programmes, Asian countries use the money to exponentially increase their fleets and subsidise running costs,” he said, commenting that the removal of capacity-enhancing subsidies will not reach WTO goals unless accompanied by sustainable fisheries management, transparency,

accountability and enforcement.

“The EU is the largest and most attractive fish market in the world.

European fleets have to comply with the highest social and environmental standards while competing with non-EU fleets whose catches end up in our market. For that reason it is important to achieve an international level playing field, so as for all operators to play under the same rules,” Daniel Voces said, stating that subsidies that negatively affect overfished fish stocks must be ended.

“Financial support is fundamental to improving safety

at sea, working conditions, energy efficiency, and the competitiveness of our responsible fishermen who daily supply healthy seafood to a growing world-population.

These investments are key in Europe to make the industry more attractive to young professionals, introduce new technologies, mitigate climate change, combat shortage of crews and allow for generational change.”

MAXIMISING AUTOMATION AT SHIKOTAN FACTORY The 900-tonne per day processing plant has been built

by Icelandic technology leader Skaginn 3X and its partner companies Frost and Rafeyri to grade, pack and freeze 900 tonnes of pelagic fish per day.

“We at Skaginn 3X are extremely proud to have been given the opportunity to participate in the modernisation of Russia’s fisheries sector, exporting and transferring a 15-year legacy of knowledge and innovation in the pelagic sector,” said Skaginn 3X’s Russian regional manager Pétur Jakob Pétursson.

“Our solution will maximise automation, product handling and quality – triggering a competitive advantage that will undoubtedly result in increased demand and value.

space is the largest and most automated pelagic fish processing plant in the region, and is set to boost employment, streamline processes and reduce waste. With the innovative freezing technology improving overall product quality, Gidrostroy anticipates that the demand for its fish from mainland Russia and China will steadily increase.

When the contracts for the new factory were signed last year, Gidrostroy chairmanAlexander Verkhovskiy said that he expected that the new factory would bring more jobs and development to Shikotan Island and after conducting talks with various technology providers around the world, it was an “obvious choice to work with the Icelandic companies.”

Skaginn 3X has a track record in pelagic handling systems for both seagoing and shore-based production, having designed, built and commissioned the Vardin and Pelagos factories in the Faroe Islands, the Eskja plant in Iceland and a factory deck for France Pelagique’s new fishing vessel with tailored systems for grading, packing, freezing and palletising catches is expected to be delivered before the end of 2019.

The Indonesian Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) and the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) affirming their joint commitment to strengthening collaboration on sustainable fishing.

The agreement will focus on increasing the accessibility of the MSC’s market-based programme to fisheries in Indonesia. The MoU, signed by Mr. Nilanto Perbowo, MMAF Secretary General, and Patrick Caleo, MSC Asia Pacific Regional Director, will cover cooperation in key areas such as the development of Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs), sharing of sustainable fishing best practice using the MSC’s Fisheries Standard, and capacity building.

The Indonesian government will play a key role in this partnership, with the MSC programme working alongside the sustainable fishery agenda workplan developed by MMAF, to support MMAF’s priority fisheries.

MSC AND INDONESIAN AGREE TO WORK TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES

“MMAF and the MSC share the vision that sustainable fishing is essential to supporting coastal livelihoods, economic growth, and social development.

This MoU shows our commitment to work together towards safeguarding Indonesia’s seafood supplies for future generations,” said,MSC Asia Pacific Regional Director Patrick Caleo.

"We hope the MSC can assist

the Indonesian government in giving global market recognition for Indonesian fisheries products that are free from IUU (Illegal, Unreported, and Unreported) fishing as a premium product,” said MMAF Secretary General Nilanto Perbowo.

Indonesian fisheries operate

within some of the world's richest and most productive marine ecosystems. Indonesia is the second largest fish producer in the world and catch volumes continue to increase. Fish products account for 54% of the national protein intake.

Indonesian fish stocks are vital to both domestic and global food security, livelihoods, and marine biodiversity. The Indonesian government has been working with local and international stakeholders to overcome some of the challenges facing wild-capture fisheries, such as overfishing. The MSC initiated the Fish for Good project to support these efforts and actively works with the Indonesian government, small scale fisheries, and local and international stakeholders towards more sustainable fishing practices.

Omega Protein's Atlantic menhaden fishery has now been officially certified as sustainable against Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) standards. The certification comes after a final approval by an independent adjudicator, who had ruled against challenges to the certification. This approval ends a two-year effort by Omega Protein to secure the certification.

"When we started this process in the Spring of 2017, we were confident that our Atlantic menhaden fishery could meet the high bar for MSC certification," said Bret Scholtes, CEO of Omega Protein.

"Now that our fishery is officially certified, consumers around the world will know the work our fishermen do every day to ensure our products come from a sustainable, responsibly harvested resource."

In March of this year, independent auditor SAI Global recommended that the menhaden fishery be certified against the MSC standard.

This followed a thorough evaluation of the fishery according to MSC's sustainability criteria, which extensively evaluates fisheries according to 28 standards. These standards measure the sustainability of the stock, efforts to minimise environmental impacts, and the effectiveness of its management.

BRIEFS

A minimum score of 60 is required for each of these 28 indicators, with an average score of 80 in each category. The Atlantic menhaden fishery easily met the requirements in each of these categories, scoring 82.5 (sustainability), 86.0 (environmental impact), and 92.2 (management).

As part of the certification process, an independent adjudicator was hired to resolve appeals filed by several environmental special interest groups objecting to the certification.

While the adjudicator rejected most of the points of these appeals in July, while requesting clarifying language from SAI Global.

Now that the adjudicator has approved the language, the fishery is officially certified.

“This will save emissions of climate-harmful NOx, equivalent to 50,000 passenger cars. We want to drive sustainable fish harvesting, and for us it is important to reduce the climate impact in the time ahead,” said owner Sigurd Teige.

The new fishing vessel will be Sunny Lady, a name that has

some history within Teige Rederi as having been inherited from a former LNG vessel that the shipping family previously owned.

“Sunny Lady will be built with a focus on efficiency and environmental thinking,” Sigurd Teige said, adding that with a forward-looking fishing vessel design and environmental thinking, the aim is to build a ship that is as energy-efficient as possible and which meets future requirements for emissions and climate considerations.

Teige Rederi includes the shipping companies Teigebris AS and Teige Rederi AS, which are owners of the pelagic vessels Sjøbris and Leikvin. The company has confirmed the sale of Leikvin to H Østervold.

INSIGHT The Future of Fishing

AQUACULTURE’S TIME IS NOW Fish farming can thrive in this new age of tech disruption, writes Jason Holland

8 The sharing of data is definitely a great concept,” says Helge Stubberud, solution architect with IBM Cloud in Norway

When it comes to food production, few sectors can match the current growth rate of aquaculture. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the rate by which the global aquaculture output is increasing continues to outstrip those of all other farmed animals, and as the planet’s most efficient protein generator – through its ability to convert more feed into edible product than these other production systems – it’s expected to provide 60% of the seafood that we consume by 2030. Aligned with the awareness that the sector is now a very financially lucrative space, there’s an unprecedented amount of technological innovations and innovators entering the space, while data is increasingly regarded as the most valuable asset for fish farmers and their businesses.

Speaking at the recent two-day Aquaculture Innovation Europe conference in London, Helge Stubberud, solution architect with IBM Cloud in Norway, explained that the landscape has changed dramatically for the sector, and whereby five years ago, companies would have to invest great sums to have IBM technology, it’s now readily available via the Cloud. At the same time, waves of university leavers specialising in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are making it easier for the industry to use these new tech tools.

“Investments are more realistic,” said Stubberud, who has worked for IBM for 35 years, the last three of which have been in the aquaculture sector. “There is still a challenge for it to be deployed to a large scale. But to get started, it’s much, much easier than it was five years ago. And compared with 10 years ago, it’s a totally different ball game.”

He also believes that unlike in other industries, commercial aquaculture businesses could see the benefits of sharing their data.

“For farmers, I think the benefits of sharing data outweighs the commercial risk because they are all in the same pond, so the environmental issues are the same – you will all meet them.

If one company makes a mistake, it will affect everyone else.

“I think tech and feed companies might find it a little more difficult. But the sharing of data is definitely a great concept.”

ATTRACTING FRESH TALENT While IBM has 108 years of business, most of the tech companies looking to make their mark as new entrants in the 12 | OCTOBER 2019

aquaculture sector are start-ups. One of those, Observe Technologies, uses an AI platform to help producers decide how best to manage their farms.

“We came from a very technical background and not from an aquaculture background,” said Hemang Rishi, company cofounder and CEO. “We saw that there was an immense opportunity in aquaculture, whereas the agriculture space was already very saturated.

“Our journey began with a simple phone call. A company gave us 30 minutes of their time which was unbelievable. That is the community that you’ve got in the aquaculture space, which doesn’t always happen in other spaces. We started there; understood the problems; put some research in; and submitted proposals. One thing led to the next. We were collecting data, we had trial sites organised, and over the next two years we developed the product and started to get clients. That has led us to where we are at today.”

Rishi describes aquaculture as an “amazing ecosystem”, where talking to a fish farming incumbent isn’t the hardest thing to achieve.

“It’s a close enough industry that eventually you will get your opportunity to at least ask your questions,” he said. “In my time, there has been change. There are a lot more actors in the space from when I first started, but I don’t think that changes the opportunities to get started.”

From there, he advises that the focus should be on the people that will ultimately use the solution on a day-to-day basis. “It’s a really basic, fundamental principle, but it’s often forgotten…you are working with people in the industry that are using your system, so design the system around them. That is far more powerful than being able to say I have the most precise technology, but it can never be used.”

Neil Wendover, product line director at Cargill Digital Insights, agrees. “Fish and shrimp farmers are a stubborn lot. Ironically, the truly disruptive technology will be the simplest, most practical, easy to understand and easy to implement solutions.

Obviously, it’s the insights too – technology allows data and that allows insights. It’s the insights that address customer needs and allows them to make changes.

“I think there are too many exciting technologies to talk about, For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

INSIGHT

but at the end of the day, you have to make it practically applicable and truly powerful in terms of addressing needs and behaviour changes,” he said.

What’s underpinning aquaculture’s technological progress is the extremely good positioning that seafood finds itself in as a consumer food category, particularly its ability to provide an affordable supply of quality protein, reckons Wendover.

“It’s about timing, and the timing is unbelievably appropriate right now. As the world’s population expands, as people have increasingly more access to disposable income – jumping up to USD 350 per month – their spend changes, and their dietary interests change. People are interested in healthy, affordable protein and they would like to know where it comes from and how it was produced. There is a tipping point for change and Cargill sees that. It’s the moment for seafood.”

As an integrated protein supply chain company, with capabilities across the seafood supply chain and value chains – from farm to fork and also pre-farm with raw materials, Cargill is extremely well positioned to play in that space, said Wendover.

But it has also recognised that it needs to change in the ways that it does business, especially when it comes to new technologies.

“We are never going to come up with the latest sensor or the latest new technology. Our role is to facilitate that into the ecosystem – to allow farmers to regularly adopt these technologies and most importantly, to not be scared of it. And then to be able to use that technology across the supply chain to make sure that it benefits all and that you can cut out inefficiencies and have those positive outcomes.”

As a large corporate entity, Cargill has embraced the start-up culture and people, he said.

“What we’ve done is we’ve isolated divisions to be able to work with those small start-up companies and to not have the red tape and bureaucracy. So the small companies can work with us. We don’t necessarily need to take equity. We’ve done that in the past, we’ve also done a ton of commercial deals, and those are very effective…the counterparty can get a flavour, an understanding, and a level of confidence, comfort and trust in us prior to taking that relationship to new levels.

I’m very excited about our future, especially to see some of these small tech companies really driving their footprint into the industry “Cargill is not one giant behemoth, it’s almost like a holding company of 75 different companies. There’s a lot of accountability in the peripheries and that allows it to stay very agile. That’s why it has been around for 150 years.

“I’m very excited about our future, especially to see some of these small tech companies really driving their footprint into the industry.”

And Wendover’s key advice to tech companies wanting to approach Cargill is to own their space.

“We would partner with someone and we would be interested when they have a capability that we don’t have that would allow us to have a 1+1=3 type of mentality. We don’t necessarily want to do or own what you do. We want you to own and do what you do, and that’s why we are interested. But you need to be very clear on what it is that you do own, and what it is that you do,” he said.

NEWHORIZONS

Focusing on Fishery Development

COMPLEX NEGOTIATIONS AHEAD AS UK LEAVES EU The complexity of the negotiations facing Britain following its expected departure from the European Union has been highlighted by solicitor Charley Hattersley, an expert in commercial marine law

8 As a newly independent coastal state, the UK will need to take part in detailed and comprehensive negotiations relating to a range of international conventions and regulations

“Given the background complexity and range of obligations as a result of international conventions and regulations, negotiations must – self-evidently – be detailed and comprehensive in order to achieve the result for which most of the UK fishing industry voted,” he said.

“It will take considerable time and the use of very skilled and well informed negotiators to achieve the correct result. If properly managed and suitably funded, such negotiations should inure to the benefit of the UK fishing industry but – even if wholly successful – it is unlikely that such negotiations would be fully productive for say five to ten years, particularly in light of the legal requirement to avoid economic dislocation and also the amount and intensity of habitually fished areas over the last 47 years. At the very least there is bound to be a short term adjustment to the current import/export ratios.”

According to Charles Hattersley, departure from the EU Regulation regime does not necessarily mean freedom from international obligations and regulations.

“Since 1972 the regulation of our seas has become both international and complex. International and EU law and the United Nations Convention for the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), together with other regional organisation laws, complicates the variety of transnational legislation that has been put in place regulating the use of the seas and care of the marine environment.”

He explained that in very broad terms the total catch in UK waters by non-UK EU vessels equates to about 15% of the total EU catch. The catch by UK vessels in non-UK EU waters is approximately 33% what the rest of the EU takes from UK waters.

“Another useful fact is that most of what we catch we export,” he said. “Most of what we eat in the UK we import.”

Charley Hattersely listed the primary conventions and 14 | OCTOBER 2019

agreements that the UK will inevitably have to be part of once it leaves the European Union.

The Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic (known as OSPAR), co-ordinates environmental protection in the North Sea. “Norway is not a member of the EU, but membership of OSPAR and UNCLOS require both Norway and the EU to co-operate and negotiate in respect of any environmental matters,” he said.

“The Marine Strategy Framework Directive and the Marine Spatial Planning Directive both have legal clout and in each directive, it is mandatory that all parties co-operate and negotiate best possible solutions. The UN Fish Stocks Agreement 1995 has the objective of conservation and long term sustainability of high migratory stocks. It is mandatory to take measures to prevent overfishing – so there is an obligation on the UK to co-operate and avoid overfishing stock within an ecosystem.”

The North East Atlantic Fishing Commission (NEAFC) was established in 1980. The EU is a member – together with other nations – but the UK is not.

“To gain access to NEAFC the UK will have to become a member and that is not going to be easy judging by the difficulty encountered by other applicants,” he explained.

“Most importantly, UNCLOS makes it clear that coastal states must avoid over-exploitation and sustain maximum sustainable yields and importantly, whether a ‘sub regional’ or ‘regional’ organisation, they are all are obliged and mandated to reach agreement for conservation of stocks [Articles 61 and 63].”

He added that Article 62 of UNCLOS is important as it states that there is an international obligation to minimise ‘economic’ For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

dislocation – particularly where areas have been “habitually” fished.

“There can be no doubt that French, Dutch, Spanish, Belgian and other trawlers have been in UK waters over the last 40 years or so and that their presence has been ‘habitual.’ Accordingly there will, in my view, be what is known as ‘historic fishing rights’ and fishing may continue pending a determination of any dispute,” Charles Hattersley said, commenting that the same will apply to English and Scottish vessels that regularly and frequently fish in other EU waters well within EU member states 200 mile EEZs. “As a result, all EU members states with fishing fleets will, as a matter of international law, be mandated to negotiate access to and from each other’s EEZ. It is axiomatic that the UK will require and need access to EU waters and ,of course, vice versa,” he said.

“There must, under international law, be detailed negotiation in order to resolve access issues. As to the right to fish it seems unlikely that quotas will come to an end but the basis for quotas will probably remain on advice from ICES. It seems therefore that under NEAFC, the UN Fish Stocks Agreement and, for example, the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, the UK may have no alternative but to agree TACs between the EU and the UK. It may be that there will be an effort or days-at-sea input to the TAC’s but the clever money is on the retention of quota entitlement,” he said and added that lastly, as the UK will be wanting access to northern waters, as well as complying with OSPAR requirements, there will also have to be direct negotiations with Norway in the absence of current membership of existing Northern Agreements which have been negotiated by the EU – but not the UK.

ANALYSIS

JOINT EFFORTS TO HEAD OFF BIG NORTH SEA COD CUT Fishing industry leaders are working together to try to find ways to avoid a major cut to the final TAC agreed after the autumn and December Fisheries Council, reports Tim Oliver

8 The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) withdrew its prestigious sustainability certification from the stock at the beginning of the year when the scientific advice was published

Cod is a significant component of the valuable North Sea mixed demersal fishery as well being an iconic species that until this year had been recovering strongly after being under threat since the millennium, and subject to the EU cod recovery plan introduced in 2014 to rebuild the stock. But ICES scientists say the stock is again at risk, with poor recruitment in recent years, and is recommending a two-thirds cut in the 2020 North Sea cod TAC. A cut of the magnitude being recommended by scientists on the basis of maximum sustainable yield (MSY) targets would be a severe economic blow for the North Sea fishery. With the added element of the landing obligation now applying to all quota species, a two-thirds cut in cod would threaten to choke the entire North Sea mixed demersal fishery well before the end of 2020. Cod quota would be quickly exhausted, forcing fishing vessels to tie up early with quotas of species such as haddock, saithe, whiting and hake uncaught.

The dangerous situation has concentrated minds and industry leaders from the UK, Denmark and Norway are trying to develop ‘bottom-up’ cod avoidance measures on their own initiative they hope will persuade the European Commission that the severe cut in the TAC being recommend by ICES should be greatly reduced.

The industry aims to come up with a programme of measures that will persuade the EU that fishermen are cutting back significantly on cod catches and so head off pressure for a big TAC cut.

The UK, particularly Scotland, has the biggest stake in the fishery and is ready to take all steps it can to reduce effort on cod and to develop measures to avoid concentrations of cod.

But skippers say any measures introduced must apply to all countries fishing in the North Sea and not just to Scotland and 16 | OCTOBER 2019

the rest of the UK. They met their opposite numbers from Denmark and Norway, who are also concerned at the scientific advice at the end of August. The aim is to try to agree on a programme of measures to keep vessels away from high densities of cod that would apply across the board to countries fishing in the North Sea. Mike Park, chief executive of the Scottish White Fish Producers Association (SWFPA) said the association held what he described as “a very well attended meeting” on the weekend before with Denmark and Norway that had strongly supported an international approach.

“There was an appetite to do as much as we can to recover the cod and there was a big emphasis on equivalence. The view expressed was ‘this can’t be just us; this has got to be everybody’ – there has to be a collective approach,” he said.

He said the view of his association is that the current scientific advice in terms of FMSY TAC is “unmanageable” and emphasised that past experience with efforts to rebuild cod stocks showed that heavy TAC cuts did not necessarily work.

“We wanted to put North Sea cod into a fisheries improvement programme (FIP) supported by an action plan and we wanted to come to some common agreement as to what that should be,” said Mike Park.

“We thought it would be useful to bring in the Norwegians as well because a number of Norwegian vessels use gill nets in Scottish waters to catch cod. The meeting at the end of August was a discussion about what measures to protect cod might look like.”

They could include seasonal closures to protect aggregations, some small permanent closures and real time closures to protect unexpected abundances of cod in areas beyond where skippers would normally find them.

ANALYSIS

Plans cover deal or no-deal Brexit The legal deadline for the UK to leave the EU/CFP is 31st October but at the time of writing it was not known whether a deal could or would be agreed in time for that date.

With a deal there will be a two-year transitional period in which nothing changes, but if the UK leaves without a deal it would assume complete control over its waters from 1st November. Mike Park pointed out that the approach being taken by the three countries covers all eventualities.

“Originally we didn’t think there was anything we could do within the EU to bind everybody in in the short term but it came to light that the technical conservation regulation that came in on 14th August provides the opportunity to put in place a delegated act,” he said.

“The process would be that the Scheveningen group (the group of scientists and senior officials from the North Sea member states that advises the Commission) would come forward with a joint recommendation as to the measures they would like to see in place. The Commission

8 “We’re keen to be sure there’s a bottom-up plan,” said Mike Park, chief executive of the Scottish White Fish Producers Association

would check its scientific rigour and it would then go to the EU Parliament and Council and if there were no objections it would become EU law and would also apply to

Norwegian vessels in EU waters. So we’ve got both avenues covered in terms of binding everyone in. If we stay in in 2019 we’ve got the technical conservation regulation and if we crash out and we’ve got control of our waters and measures would apply to everybody,” he said, adding that cutting the TAC doesn’t necessarily reduce mortality.

“We’ve got to learn lessons from the past so that’s why we’re looking at a range of other measures to keep vessels away from high densities of cod. The last time we allowed the Commission to come up with their own initiative they closed half the North Sea, with decommissioning and everything that followed,” he said.

“So we’re keen to be sure there’s a bottom-up plan. The industries will talk to one another and their own respective governments and everyone will work together to produce something that’s both reasonable and sensible. We believe there’s a reasonable argument to try to mitigate the TAC reduction if we agree to put in place cod avoidance measures.”

RESQUNIT SETS UP IN DARTMOUTH, NOVA SCOTIA

Photo: Resqunit

The Norwegian venture behind the flotation device designed to allow lost lobster and crab gear to be retrieved has established a base in Canada

The company’s new Canadian headquarters are in the Dartmouth Centre for Ocean Ventures & Entrepreneurship’s (COVE) Start-Up Yard. Resqunit brought in Alaska crabbing veteran Sig Hansen, best known for being one of the Deadliest Catch stars, to open the new venture in Dartmouth.

The Resqunit floatation device secures fishing gear. When a trap gets lost, and remains under water for a period of time, the Resqunit is released, floating to the surface, making it possible for the lost gear to be retrieved.

“As fishermen we hold a deep connection to the ocean waters that we are lucky to call our workplace,” said Sig Hansen, a global ambassador for Resqunit.

“Resqunit’s innovation will set out to not only protect our bottom line by saving gear and stock, it will also serve to protect the very source that provides for us – a responsibility we take seriously,” he added.

“Resqunit was developed in order to reduce the significant economic losses that can occur for both hobby and professional fishermen when they lose their valuable gear,” explained Helge Tretto Olsen, Resqunit’s CEO, who was in Dartmouth for the launch.

“The bigger picture is that it also protects our ocean floors and marine life by reducing the number of ghost traps and fishing gear that threaten fish, crab and lobster stocks along global coastlines.

Knowing Canada’s global position as a fishing leader, we are confident that Resqunit will be embraced by the industry here.”

Resqunit’s Canadian operations as Canadian CEO, overseeing the headquarters in Dartmouth.

“Fishing is such a huge part of our past and current history, not just in Nova Scotia but Atlantic Canada-wide and beyond,” he said.

“The support from government, industry and investment pillars within the region has been unbelievable to date which was of no surprise to me after working in the space for more than a quarter of a century.”

Erik Nobbe commented that the launch of Resqunit in Canada comes at a time when many are focusing on the oceans, and the precious resources at stake – between the North Atlantic Right Whale entanglements to protecting the ocean floors from further ‘ghost gear’ occurrences.

He believes that the increased awareness around these issues, in combination with the simplicity, functionality and low price point of the device to rescue lost gear, will appeal to fishers in both the lobster and crab industries.

The event at COVE was attended by representatives from the fishing industry and elected officials – including Halifax’s Mayor Mike Savage, who celebrated another new business putting a stake in the ground in the municipality.

“In addition to our strong and proven fishing industry here in Nova Scotia, the province and city also works to nurture innovation and enables businesses to thrive,” Erik Nobbe said.

“Establishing Resqunit’s base at COVE here in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, made perfect sense.”

EDGETECH INTRODUCES ROPELESS FISHING SYSTEM

Photo: EdgeTech

EdgeTech, a leader in high-resolution sonar imaging systems, acoustic release systems and underwater technology, has announced the introduction of a new Ropeless Fishing System.

This works with embedded acoustic release technology and has been developed to eliminate vertical lines connecting a surface buoy to bottom fishing gear. The system was designed from the outset with the input of fishermen with the intent of alleviating possible whale entanglement and other negative effects of seafloor-to-surface fishing and trap lines.

Expanding the extensive line of reliable acoustic release products and utilising proven Push-off Release Transponder (PORT) technology, the EdgeTech system is perfectly suited for those applications that require a robust, yet shallow water, acoustic release enabled ropeless fishing package.

The unit can be deployed in water depths down to 500 metres and handle a load of 500 pounds (225kg) while remaining underwater for up to one year (two years on lithium batteries).

With its unique nickel aluminium bronze alloy construction, it can withstand even the harshest shallow water environments, providing corrosion resistance like none other.

When communicating with a fishing-vesselinstalled acoustic deck box, it provides the catching vessel with data such as position,

positions real time to a Cloud data base so that other fishing vessels can see where gear is located to avoid gear conflicts.

The system will tolerate harsh handling on the vessel and unfavourable conditions under the water. The acoustic coding structure allows for over a billion unique codes making it the most secure acoustic release ever produced.

KING COUPLING SAVES TIME AND MONEY James O’Mahony’s background is in agriculture, and a quick repair gadget he invented initially for farming machinery is what brought him to make an acquaintance with the fishing industry “I come from a dairy farming background and have been into machinery since I learned to walk,” he said, explaining that the King Coupling idea came about after he had driven two hundred miles during a harvest season in Australia to repair a hydraulic hose.

“That was using an old reusable system, and it blew off again after twenty minutes,” he said.

This was the trigger that prompted him to design something better, coming up with a three-piece fitting that can be fitted to a blown hose in minutes.

Once the blown hose has been cut off clean, the first section is screwed onto the end, turned anti-clockwise, after which a toothed insert is placed inside, and the outside casing is screwed into place and an allen key used to tighten everything up, which spreads the teeth inside to grip the hose securely.

“That’s the difference,” he said. “Instead of squeezing the pipe, it expands inside, pushing the walls out into the casing. Everyone who has used it has been delighted,” he said, commenting that the King Coupling is good for up to 20,000psi and they have been tested in re-use fifteen times with no problems.

“You can leave it on there as long as you want. Or you can replace the hose and drop the Coupling back in your toolbox for the next time you need it.

Everyone should have a couple of these on board ready to use. Downtime costs money. This takes five minutes to fit and then you’re back to work.”

When Steve Corkum Jr. of Yarmouth Sea Products in Nova Scotia couldn’t find a yard prepared to build fifteen lobster boats in a single order, he started his own shipyard, reports Alan Haig-Brown.

Bayview Marine recently launched the first in the series and is owner and yard are well pleased with the initial performance as the first of the series of fibreglass vessels completed it sea trials.

The 13.590 metre by 9.10 metre hull is designed for maximum working space and stowage for lobster or crab traps.

Propulsion is provided by a six-cylinder Cummins X15 diesel rated for 500hp at 1800rpm. The EPA Tier 3-compliant engine turns a four-blade, 54-inch diameter, ZF prop, with a 50-inch pitch, via a ZFW350 gearbox with 4.962:1 reduction.

20 | OCTOBER 2019

The recently introduced marine version of the Cummins X15 offer variable speed and fixed speed ratings between 450hp (336 kW) and 600hp (447 kW), while meeting US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tier 3 and IMO Tier II emissions standards.

These Yarmouth Sea Products boats will also have an upgraded Sea- Pro Filter system to allow extended fuel service maintenance, as well as a first of its kind F.l.T. Telematcis filtration monitoring System from Cummins Filtration that allows the owner, skipper and Cummins to monitor all the filters on the engine at all times via satellite link-up to phone apps.

Designed for speeds of ten knots, these are beamy boats built for capacity more than speed. They have space for up to six crew, 400 lobster or crab traps and tank capacity is for 4400 litres of fuel.

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

A marine mammal caught in a trawl never fails to be a nightmare. Gear designers at Killybegs fishing gear company Swan Net Gundry have a simple innovation to avoid this situation – saving both the fisherman and the mammals much grief.

Observations of trawls have shown that seals can often sit on the head or belly sheet of a pelagic or bottom trawl with pectoral fins hooked just over the head rope – almost as if just hitching a ride.

A seal can stay there for some time observing the fish entering the trawl and occasionally entering the trawl itself to feed. Known for their playful behaviour, recorded data shows the ease with which they like to use the trawl by bouncing on the netting sheets from the outside – using it as a trampoline.

Swimming in the direction of the tow, inside the trawl a groups of seals often gather at a point where the bellies reach a diameter of two to three metres and they swim with the trawl and feed on the fish that are concentrated in the area.

In this scenario the damage that the seals do to the volume of the catch is negligible but, as can often happen, if the seals enter the codend where space is much more limited, then problems can develop, resulting in them potentially getting caught along with the catch.

However, a solution, designed by SwanNet

SNG INTRODUCES NEW EXCLUDER

8 Swan Net Gundry’s excluder device prevents marine mammals from venturing into dangerous territory inside a trawl

Gundry (SNG) to keep seals from entering the codend has been working successfully for skippers who have trialled the new Excluder Device.

One skipper comment that having lost no fishing time with entangled mammals in the trawl, as was previously happening, the

performance of the Excluder ‘sealed the deal’ for him.

Feedback from the successful performance of this device has led to SNG designing a range of other excluder models to exclude a range of marine mammals and larger groundfish from trawl gear.

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

Each year up to 35,000 adult female lobsters caught by Irish inshore fishermen have a V-shaped notch removed from their tail by trained Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) staff.

This V-notch marking is supported by legislation that makes it illegal to land, hold or sell these lobsters and as a result if they are caught again they must be returned to the sea.

This allows them to continue to reproduce on up to three more occasions before the notch grows out, helping maintain Ireland’s lobster fishery.

By V-notching larger lobsters which produce much higher numbers of eggs, the lobsters are afforded the chance to grow large enough to exceed the maximum landing size and gain permanent protection Ireland was the first country to introduce this measure in Europe in 1994. It arose from concerns by members of the Irish fishing sector in the early 1990s about the sustainability of the Irish lobster stock. The programme has grown in each year since that time.

Participating fishermen receive financial support from the European Maritime and

35,000 LOBSTERS V-NOTCHED EACH YEAR Fisheries Fund administered through BIM for a proportion of the value of the v-notched lobsters returned to the sea. They also make a contribution themselves in the form of the remaining proportion of the value of the lobsters.

Additional protection is provided for thelobster stock in the form of a Minimum Conservation Reference Size (MCRS) of 87mm carapace length. This is measured from the back of the eye socket to the back of the carapace and aims to protect lobsters that are not yet sufficiently mature to reproduce and contribute to the lobster stock. A Maximum Landing Size (MLS) of 127mm also forms part of the conservation measures.

By V-notching larger lobsters which produce much higher numbers of eggs, the lobsters are afforded the chance to grow large enough to exceed the maximum landing size and gain permanent protection. Lobsters under the MCRS and over the MLS cannot be landed and must be returned to the sea.

DOES SUSTAINABILITY DEPEND ON TECHNOLOGY? You don’t tend to hear the ‘plenty more fish in the sea’ phrase quite so often these days

8 Electronic technology is an indispensable tool in dealing with the issue of by-catch, according to Kongsberg Maritime’s VP Fishery Olav Vittersø

Apart from this expression being a bland platitude, it’s more significant that the phrase is in danger of becoming a literal falsehood. It’s a real concern that we live in an age when it is no longer possible to take for granted that there will always be fish in the sea, according to Kongsberg Maritime’s VP Fishery Olav Vittersø.

Circumstances have coincided so that rising sea temperatures are intensifying ocean acidification and drawing non-native species into different waters in search of feed. The widespread destruction of coral reefs which form a habitat for almost a quarter of the world’s marine organisms has also had a demonstrably significant effect.

It is often assumed that implementing an active environmental consciousness and maintaining a financially viable fishing business are mutually exclusive notions; but the truth of the matter is more nuanced.

“Efficiency and profitability are often looked upon as negative concepts in relation to sustainability, but this is not necessarily the case if technology is used in the right way,” Olav Vittersø said. “And this is a consideration which needs to begin at a governmental level. An absolute cornerstone of the sustainable fishing ethos, naturally, is the responsibility of setting and maintaining appropriate quotas. Technology is the government’s ally in this regard, as the Big Data derived from detailed monitoring, surveillance and management of fish stocks enables precise and informed quotas to be set. By the same token, deploying the relevant technology at the other end of the process means that commercial fishermen can adhere 24 | OCTOBER 2019

to set quotas and optimise operational efficiencies to keep their profit margins healthy.”

“We’re understandably keen to stress the importance of technology to this entire process,” he explained. “As it ultimately benefits us all. The driving principle behind the Simrad products we supply for worldwide fishing fleets, developed by Kongsberg in conjunction with the Institute of Marine Research, is Technology for Sustainable Fisheries – and it’s a credo we live by every day.”

The situation is appreciably more complex than merely guaranteeing that catch allocations are computed conservatively, and he commented that there are other factors that need to be taken into account, including catching the right size of fish.

“This not only results in fishermen getting the premium price for their catch, but also ensures that small, non-reproductive fish are not being caught, which would cut off the lifeline to the future,” he said.

“Again, appropriate technology is essential. Simrad echo sounders with split-beam functionality allow skippers to determine the size of fish before they are caught. A typical screen display will reveal biomass information about the density of the fish concentration beneath a fishing vessel, plus a bar graph illustrating the distribution of fish sizes and a fish plot which detects fish close to the seabed, allowing differentiation between any ghost echoes which might appear on the main picture and actual fish which would be visible on the plot.”

Olav Vittersø commented that technology is also an indispensable tool in getting to grips with the complexities of by-catches.

ELECTRONICS

“A skipper needs to be certain that the right species of fish is entering the trawl, while having the ability to guide unwanted species back out. Our multi-beam trawl sonars, catch monitoring systems – which include live video – and sensors were developed with this in mind, to dramatically reduce impacts on ocean fauna, enabling the right fish to be located and caught at the right time for better quality, and filtering out by-catch well before it reaches the surface.”

He added that as well as contributing to sustainable fisheries by providing opportunities to make early decisions during the catching process, this also has a significant effect on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases by minimising the time fishing vessels need to spend at sea and distances they need to cover.

“It really boils down to making certain that the technology can support and facilitate incentives such as the Marine Stewardship Council’s three main principles for sustainability,” Olav Vittersø said.

“This is about ensuring an indefinite abundance of fish stocks, minimising environmental impacts and pursuing effective, lawful fisheries management. From our point of view, it’s encouraging to confirm that all of this is already possible with the use of technology. This isn’t just the Simrad-branded fishfinding equipment, but also the sustainability-conscious systems and components Kongsberg develops and delivers to improve control and efficiency on fishing vessels. This could be anything from the actual design of a new vessel to propulsion control, deck machinery, engines, thrusters, navigation and automation systems.”

“All of our efforts are focused upon securing the viability of our collective future and it’s imperative that we don’t stop here,” Olav Vittersø said.

“The sentiment needs to apply to everyone else involved in the maritime industry, and we’re only too happy to lead by example. Our goal is to always improve, in performance as well as continuing to push with technological innovations such as a new autonomous broadband echo sounder that can remain on the seabed for months on end to monitor marine life. The fishing industry has embraced Simrad technology for over 70 years. We plan to keep innovating and contributing, but for us all to survive for at the very least, the next 70 years, a culture shift towards ecologically sensitive operations with a joined-up, technology-led approach is the only way to achieve the sustainability that the fishing industry, and the world needs.”

MARGARET KATIE’S NEW LEASE OF LIFE Built in 1988, the French-built, Baudouin-powered Margaret Katie has been in Ireland for some years and was acquired just last autumn by skipper/owner Noel ‘Owenie’ O’Sullivan He immediately set about a major upgrade project of renewal and refurbishment of the trawler/seiner. This meant a long period in Killybegs with work undertaken by Mooney Boats, SeaQuest and Austin Kelly of Foyle Electronics, resulting in a complete rewiring of the 24 metre vessel, an engine overhaul with new turbos installed, the installation of SeaQuest winches and refurbishment of the wheelhouse and galley interiors.

Now back at sea since May and fishing under Noel’s command using single trawl set up for whitefish, supplied by Swan Net Gundry and Jackson Trawls, in combination with 3m2 semi-pelagic Type 12A Thyboron Trawldoors, Margaret Katie was dry-docked recently for a pre-arranged overhaul in Bere Island at Castletownbere, Co. Cork for several more jobs on the to-do list.

One of these was the installation of the Scanmar Hydrophone and Scanbas365 system by technicians George Youngson and Billy Watt who travelled over from Peterhead.

“A fishing vessel is only as good as the tools you give it to do its job” was Noel O’Sullivan’s simple comment. “Diesel’s too expensive to be second-guessing with trawl monitoring systems. Scanmar removes that guesswork.”

As the range of Scanmar equipment was being installed on board Margaret Katie, Noel O’Sullivan commented that he and Scanmar’s equipment go back a long way as he has used it for practically his entire fishing career, most recently on his brother Paddy’s Dillon Owen where he was relief skipper and also previously on the first Sarah David.

“When you look around the fleet of any harbour you can almost always tell which boats are doing well – the ones that are using Scanmar. I don’t just mean that as a throwaway compliment to Scanmar, but I genuinely believe that. I have always been confident when I’m starting out on a fishing trip on a vessel that has Scanmar systems on board,” he said.

With the whole job completed in less than a day, Margaret Katie was now ready for sea again after being fitted with a new hydrophone and steel cone housing, new trawl door housing for door sensors, single distance door-to-door sensors, a catch sensor, headline sensor and a ScanBas365 system with WDR receiver unit and configuration unit.

Inmarsat, together with the Indonesian Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, its Department of Fisheries, the UK Space Agency and other partners have successfully completed a threeyear fisheries innovation project.

Thirty-nine lives were saved during the project, which was set up to deliver enhanced safety, ship to shore contact, and reduce illegal fishing through the use of low-cost, solar-powered satellite technology on smaller fishing vessels.

“The results of the project highlight how technology, training and respect for the expertise of fishers can together deliver enhanced safety, economic growth and environmental sustainability,” said James Cemmell, vice president, government engagement at Inmarsat.

“Together with the fishing community, government, technologists and specialists in fisheries management, we have prototyped a ‘Made-in-Indonesia’ satellite communications device for fishers.”

Independent analysis by consultancy firm Poseidon Aquatic Resource Management has shown that applying satellite-based technology to smaller boats under 30gt, although not currently legally required, can help Indonesia’s industry move towards safer, more sustainable and profitable operations.

Partnership Programme project was implemented to test the benefits and challenges of expanding the use of satellitebased Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS).

During the project, fishers were able to call

for help during times of acute distress. Poseidon estimates that 39 lives were saved during this time. The project also delivered enhanced capabilities in both the fisheries monitoring centre as well as on its patrol vessel.

EXPORTING DELOUSING SYSTEMS TO RUSSIA Flatsetsund Engineering is delivering four FLS delousing lines to Murmansk, mounted on the Enabler One barge which FSV Group is supplying to Russian Aquaculture

8 Kristian Lillerud of Flatsetsund Engineering, Arne Geirulv of Russian Aquaculture and Endre Brekstad of FSV Group in front of Enabler One, which is about to become operational in Murmansk

Russian Aquaculture started working with salmon in 2011 and today operates seven sites in the Murmansk region and accounts for over 80% of Russian sea-based salmon and trout farming production. The company has additional licences available for a long-term increase in production.

Feed and smolt are sourced from Norway. Russian Aquaculture currently has two wholly owned subsidiary smolt plants in Norway, and also plans to build up its own smolt production in Russia representing an annual production volume of around 15 million smolt. The company has now invested in Norwegian delousing technology by purchasing the Enabler One barge from FSV Group. The barge was built for rental to Marine Harvest in 2014 with three FLS delousing lines. In 2015, a fourth line was installed. Enabler One has been leased to Mowi Region North. Flatsetsund Engineering has leased the debugger system and FSV Group has leased the fleet.

Following Russian Aquaculture’s acquisition of Enabler One in May, the barge has undergone a significant upgrade at Båt- og Oppdrettservice in Averøy. The barge’s four delousing lines have now been upgraded to the latest version of the FLS delousing.

“We’re very excited to be exporting our delousing technology for the first time,” said Kristian Lillerud of Flatsetsund Engineering. “It’s also exciting that our first export will be to Russia, and we firmly believe that this is not the last time our delousing technology will be sold abroad.”

For FSV Group’s services company, selling equipment – not least abroad – is a new experience. FSV Group has been responsible for the overall project management.

28 | OCTOBER 2019

“This has been an exciting project for us, featuring excellent co-operation with Russian Aquaculture, Flatsetsund Engineering and Båt- og Oppdrettservice,” said Endre Brekstad, Technical Manager at FSV Group. “It’s good that Norway can supply technology and not just raw materials.”

Enabler One is expected to be operational by mid-September and Pure Shipping, which has two vessels with FLS delousing, has been responsible for training the Russian operators and is also responsible for testing the facility prior to delivery.

“We have been involved in dialogue with various delousing system suppliers for a couple of years,” said Arne Geirulv. “We have assessed this thoroughly based on both customer requirements and fish welfare. We decided against thermal debugging early on, so Flatsetsund Engineering and their FLS delousing was the obvious option. Then we looked at delousing vessels for sale and ended up purchasing Enabler One, our first investment in mechanical delousing.

“For us, investing in Norwegian technology is a natural choice.

We also produce according to Norwegian methods when it comes to welfare and sustainability at all our sites. All this is selfimposed. In Russia, the industry is still in an early phase of development. This also means that there are no service companies or other local suppliers to call. That is why we have built up our own infrastructure and a competent workforce, allowing us to deal with everything in-house. We have both well boats for slaughtering and our own slaughterhouse. Now we will also have good capacity for mechanical delousing, where fish welfare is the top priority.”

SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE WITH BIODEGRADABLE INNOVATIONS According to the UN, half of all plastic-made products are designed to be used once and thrown away, writes Marina Crnoja-Cosic, Head of Application Development New Business Areas at Lenzing AG

8 Marina CrnojaCosic, Head of Application Development New Business Areas, Lenzing AG

The detrimental impact of plastic pollution and microplastics is not unfamiliar to us and it is an environmental issue that needs to be addressed and solved. About 8 million tonnes of plastics end up going into the ocean every year, resulting in an estimated 165 million tonnes of plastic debris. On top of this, synthetic fibres and plastics lost to the oceans account for 80% of all marine pollution and are posing direct threats to marine life. A vicious life-threatening cycle is then created as microplastics enter our food chain. There is an imminent need for the marine industry and other related stakeholders to work more closely together to protect the marine ecosystem.

The aquaculture industry, which now accounts for half the world’s seafood supply, is facing the challenge of reducing its use of plastics. While this is an important material for aquaculture equipment there is also increasing concern about the adverse effects of microplastics on marine organisms.

According to research from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), oysters exposed to polystyrene microplastics produced fewer offspring and compared to offspring from unexposed oysters they tended to be smaller in size and grew at a slower rate.

However, a number of sustainability measures have been initiated in the aquaculture industry. One example is from the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) in the UK. The ASC is leading the fight against aquaculture plastic waste and plans to initiate specific requirements for farms to properly dispose of plastics. It will become the first and only aquaculture organisation to join the Global Ghost Gear Initiative (GGGI), an alliance of organisations working to find solutions to the problem of lost, abandoned or discarded fishing gear – known as ghost gear.

On the other hand, a study by a team of scientists from The Nature Conservancy (TNC), University of Adelaide and 30 | OCTOBER 2019

Macquarie University in Australia, suggests that some of the broader, positive ecosystem and social benefits associated with aquaculture operations may have been overlooked. To ensure aquaculture can deliver ecosystem services without these benefits being compromised by negative impacts, it would require aquaculture facilities to be more eco-conscious of their design and interaction with their surroundings, in order to maximise the positive effects.

This May, Lenzing Group, a market leader in speciality fibres based on wood as a renewable material, announced its first test results of a project, in collaboration with two German research institutes, Sächsisches Textilforschungsinstitut e.V. (STFI) and FIUM GmbH & Co. KG – Institut für Fisch & Umwelt (FIUM). The project was launched last year with the objective to develop a sustainable solution for the marine industry which will not compromise mechanical performance. The project produced using wood-based Lenzing™ Lyocell fibres in the construction of ropes and nets. These more sustainable mussel nets and ropes can replace traditional ones that support the cultivation

of marine creatures such as molluscs, mussels and edible seaweed and reduce the use of plastics in the sea. Nets that are then released into the water due to accident, storm damage, negligence or any other causes will biodegrade within a reasonable timeframe and not leave non-degradable residues. These nets and ropes made with Lenzing™ Lyocell fibres have also been proven to have sufficient strength to carry the weight of those growing creatures without breakage, the quality is not compromised while being more sustainable.

Lenzing’s collaboration partner, Sächsisches Textilforschungsinstitut e.V, constructed different prototypes and replicate botanic mussel nets and ropes out of Lyocell fibres in March 2018. An initial test on these botanic mussel nets and ropes was started in the Baltic Sea, where prototypes were installed in water between 6 and 10 metres deep at an artificial reef platform in Germany. After four organised dives by FIUM, the first test results were available. Mussel nets and ropes made from Lyocell fibers proved to be an appealing material for marine organisms to grow on. In the end, 14 different sea dwellers such as blue mussels, crustaceans, echinoderms and snails adhered onto the test material.

While evidently still performing the same function as traditional mussel nets and ropes, the botanic alternative made from Lyocell fibre has been certified as compostable and biodegradable under marine conditions, therefore Lyocell fibres have great potential to become a sustainable solution for the aquatic farming industry. This indicates that if pieces of the nets made of Lyocell fibres break off, they will harmlessly decompose and have no hurtful effects on marine organisms.

Sustainable nets will also lose their “ghost aquafarming”

capability much quicker than conventional nets, thus helping to reduce future marine conservation costs. To close the sustainability cycle, the eco-nets can be composted after harvesting and processing.

To drive sustainability for the marine environment, the aquatic farming industry needs to start thinking about compostability and biodegradability while supporting the development of sustainable alternatives to plastic and toxic compounds. Industry stakeholders need to continue their innovative development to further optimise net construction for more durable products by broadening the use of 100% Lyocell fibres based marine nets in the marine industry. By doing so, this will help raise the industry’s sustainability standard and promote a healthier marine ecosystem.

SULPHIDE LEVELS: NEXT INITIATIVE FOR BETTER MONITORING

Photo: Cooke Aquaculture

An environmental monitoring tool that measures sulphide levels in sediment is expected to show great promise on Scottish fish farms, reports Bonnie Waycott

As the world's fastest-growing source of food, the output of aquaculture is likely to double by 2050. With this in mind, increased technological development and the industry's desire to lessen its environmental impact have resulted in vast improvements and opportunities for farms to develop sustainably. Now, a project called Novel Approach to Monitoring Aquaculture Impacts (NAMAQI) is underway to help the Scottish aquaculture industry understand its impacts on the marine environment more quickly and cheaply.

With funding from the Scottish Aquaculture Innovation Centre (SAIC), salmon producer Cooke Aquaculture and the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) are working at six fish farms in Scotland and Canada to examine how sulphide levels on the seabed could help track the benthic impacts of fish farms.

"The deposition of organic material such as waste from fish farms onto marine sediments leads to changes in the chemistry," said Dr. Clive Fox, an ecologist at SAMS. "We decided to develop this project because although measuring sulphide levels in sediment is already being done in several countries, including our partners in Canada, it's not happening routinely on fish farms in Scotland."

High sulphide levels in sediment usually indicate that the sediment is becoming anaerobic and over-enriched with organic material. The levels of sulphide are measured with the use of an ion-selective electrode (ISE), which is sensitive to the sulphide ion. This results in an electrical signal that can be compared with a calibration curve to indicate the levels of sulphide present. All data from the project will be made available as a report on the SAIC website.

32 | OCTOBER 2019

8 Cooke Aquaculture's high-energy site at Skelwick Skerry

Monitoring the benthic impacts of fish farms currently involves counting the organisms in sediment samples. This procedure is known as infaunal analysis and produces an index called the Infaunal Quality Index (IQI). However, because the process is slow, farm managers can only receive the results several weeks after the samples have been collected.

According to Clive Fox, measuring sulphide levels in sediment may be much quicker than infaunal analyses, but it will not replace the need to measure IQI directly. Rather, it may provide a useful additional measurement that may offer managers a quick indication of whether problems are developing on their sites.

"We hope that it will act as a quick warning indicator," he said.

"Having additional information on sediment condition can also help explain any unexpected results that appear in the infaunal analyses."

Sulphide measurements have been used in many studies of marine sediments and in several other countries to analyse the footprint of fish farms, but have not been adopted as a tool in Scottish aquaculture. One reason for this is that the measurements must be made on fresh samples. As samples cannot be frozen, some staff training on the farms would be required for the analyses to go ahead. SEPA will also soon require a greater number of samples to be collected at farm sites, which will increase costs and time required. "eDNA toolkits are also being heralded as a potential alternative to infaunal analyses. But research into this is still in the early stages and actual application is probably some years off."

In future, sulphide levels will be measured alongside other criteria at a number of Scottish farm sites. Results will then be For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

AQUACULTURE

We decided to develop this project because although measuring sulphide levels in sediment is already being done in several countries, including our partners in Canada, it's not happening routinely on fish farms in Scotland compared with IQI data to determine whether they are able to predict and detect any problematic locations. Data from a large number of sites covering a range of conditions will also be required to establish relationships between sulphide levels and the IQI results.

SAMS is also due to host a joint Scottish-Canadian workshop next spring to consider the use of sulphide measurements in the regulation of fish farms, and a longer follow-on study across a larger range of sites will then be envisaged if Scottish regulators and the Scottish salmon industry feel that sulphide measurements have potential.

"The main way in which fish farmers and the aquaculture industry will benefit from all this depends on whether relationships between sulphide levels and IQI can be established," Clive Fox said. "If they can, the sulphide measurements will give managers an additional tool to quickly assess conditions at their sites."

According to SAIC, the sulphide measurement project builds on initiatives previously supported by SAIC that aim to help aquaculture become more sustainable. It is hoped that the

project will also contribute to aquaculture's goal of sustainably doubling its economic contribution by 2030.

"There is intense public pressure for fish farms to be rigorously monitored, and this is also important for the Scottish industry to maintain its reputation for producing premiumbrand products," Clive Fox concluded.

"A range of new tools, approaches and techniques will be required to help the industry deliver robust site monitoring while moving towards this growth target."

DAMEN UNVEILS LANDING VESSEL 1608 FOR AQUACULTURE INDUSTRY This summer Damen Shipyards Group and Coastal Workboats Scotland unveiled a new vessel for the aquaculture industry at Oban in Scotland The unveiling of the new Damen Landing Utility Vessel 1608 took place at the same time as the handover of the first in series, Lady Rebecca, to client Loch Duart.

The LUV 1608 is built by Coastal Workboats Scotland to a Damen design that was engineered by Damen design bureau OSD/IMT. The vessel is able to carry out a wide range of support tasks to the aquaculture industry, including transporting personnel, equipment and feed to offshore farming locations.

“I’d like to congratulate Brian and Julie Pogson of Coastal Workboats Scotland on the construction of a truly high-quality, strong and sturdy vessel. Together, we wish Loch Duart the very best with their new vessel,” said Damen sales manager Mike Besijn, as the first vessel was unveiled, and commented that a key feature of the LUV 1608 is the hull design, which has been developed to accommodate a HS Marine AK67 E4 Crane. This size of crane offers very high capability not usually seen in a vessel of 16 metres with close to 14 tonnes lifting capacity at 3.50 metres and 3 tonnes at 13 metres.

The development of the Damen LUV shows our commitment to aquaculture, an industry we believe is part of the solution when it comes to feeding the world of tomorrow The LUV 1608 hull can also be built at 19 metres in length to provide additional deck capacity. The development of the LUV 1608 has drawn on the expertise of a number of parties specialising in shipbuilding and the aquaculture industry. The original concept was for a utility vessel, but was expanded to have landing craft functionality, providing a wider geographical reach for operations in areas where less port infrastructure is available.

As is usual with Damen’s standardised vessel designs, the LUV 1608 can be customised to meet individual client requirements. This is demonstrated with this first vessel for Loch Duart, the tailored features of which include tyre fenders, location of capstans and foot pedals.

“The development of the Damen LUV shows our commitment to aquaculture, an industry we believe is part of the solution when it comes to feeding the world of tomorrow,” Mike Besijn said.

“The functionality of the vessel shows that we are listening to the market and responding to its needs. And, as is the culture at Damen, we are working with the experts in the industry to ensure that what we deliver is both relevant and reliable. We are very grateful to Karl Scott of Maritime Aqua for his in-depth market knowledge, which has been invaluable in the development of this design and for the supply of the HS Marine AK67 E4 Crane and Tenfjord Deck Machinery.”

Leninets, the first vessel in the series, to be followed by sister vessels Kommandor and Udarnik later this year, marks a milestone for the Russian fishing industry as these are the first vessels to be delivered by a domestic yard to Russian owners as the country’s fishing fleet undergoes a major renewal.

Owners RK Lenina went to Norwegian naval architect Skipskompetanse for the design of the new vessels, specifying that they required RSW capacity, as well as the ability to carry out both pelagic and demersal trawling, plus purse seining and fly-shooting.

The order for the 50.60 metre LOA, 12 metre breadth SK3101R trio was placed in 2016, with the first keel laid down that summer and Leninets launched for fitting out in November 2017.

Satisfactory sea trials took place this summer and the handover took place in August.

At the same time as Leninets was handed over to its owners, in a double celebration the opportunity was taken to mark the start of construction on what will be the largest fishing vessel in the Russian fleet and one of the most sophisticated of its kind anywhere in the world.

Viktor Gavrilov is named after renowned fishing skipper Viktor Rodionovich Gavrilov (1949-2010). This 121 metre factory vessel, also ordered by RK Lenina, has been designed by Wärtsilä Vostok and is scheduled for delivery in 2023.

Federal Fisheries Agency head Ilya Shestakov, Kamchatka governor Vladimir Ilyukhin, United Shipbuilding Corporation’s president Alexey Rakhmanov and Kaliningrad region governor Anton Alikhanov fixed the maker’s plate to the new trawler’s steelwork.

Once the ceremony for the new Viktor Gavrilov had been concluded, the Russian flag was hoisted on board Leninets for its formal handover.

“The Russian fishing industry is not only renewing its competence in the construction of fishing vessels, but is also constantly improving its skills,” commented Russia’s Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov at the launch ceremony.

“An important feature of Leninets is its RSW catch storage capacity, enabling it to be kept fresh without being frozen. The four fishing methods allow the vessel to be used for fishing a

Also part of the Rapp package are the end wire and tail winches, as well as the windlasses and capstan, plus the hydraulic fish pumps and reels for the fish pump and hydraulic hoses.

Partner company Triplex, also part of the McGregor group, supplied the purse seine handling setup, with the net winch, corkline and leadline stackers, the net stacker and telescopic fish pump cranes, as well as the deck cranes on board. The trawl pins and stern roller are from SHM solution and the trawl blocks are supplied by Markussen.

NEWBUILD

LATEST PELAGIC DELIVERY FROM SKAGEN YARD The new 69.99 metre LOA, 15.20 metre breadth pelagic vessel Odd Lundberg is built to alternate trawling for sandeel and blue whiting with purse seining for herring and mackerel

8 Odd Lundberg is the latest in a long series of pelagic vessels delivered by Karstensens Skibsværft

The contract with the yard for the new vessel was signed by operating company Odd Lundberg AS in June 2017, and delivery of this latest pelagic vessel for the Norwegian fleet took place just over two years later before Odd Lundberg steamed home to Foldvik in Gratangen for its christening ceremony at the end of August.

Fishing company Odd Lundberg AS has been in the hands of the same family for a century, and today is run by brothers Tore and Geir Lundberg, who is the company’s general manager – and Geir’s sons are both on board the new vessel, with Mats sailing as skipper and Stian as chief engineer.

Mats and Stian Lundberg have been closely involved in the entire construction process, both in Poland and in Skagen.

“The company came to us because we are able to offer a complete package that is both economically and technically very attractive,” said Kent Damgaard at Karstensens Skibsværft.

“It was a vital factor for them to be involved throughout the design phase, so that it would be tailored exactly to their wishes and requirements. We welcome the confidence that the Lundberg family have shown in us. They have been a regular customer at the yard for many years, and therefore it’s pleasing that this constructive co-operation has been continued. This ensures that financial aspects are optimised, provides a short decision-making process and clear delimitation of responsibilities. These are benefits that other shipowners have also seen, and the yard is negotiating similar designs for potential Norwegian customers.”

The overall design, interior design and arrangement have been finalised through close collaboration between the owner and the yard’s design team, and the Lundberg family brought a number of innovative suggestions to the design process.

Particular attention has been paid to safe working conditions, with a fully watertight deck adding almost three metres to the freeboard.

Odd Lundberg’s hull was constructed at the Remontowa Shipbuilding yard in Gdansk and launched in February this year before being towed to Skagen for fitting out.

40 | OCTOBER 2019

The hull design is optimised in line with Odd Lundberg’s projected operating profile and to achieve maximum efficiency in fuel consumption. Efficiency is a key priority, with heat recovery systems fitted to all of the engines, winches and electric fish pump, alongside a number of measures to ensure minimum energy consumption.

ELECTRIC DECK MACHINERY The deck equipment package on board Odd Lundberg is a fully electrical system from MacGregor Rapp Marine, with 80-tonne trawl winches and a pair of 92.60 tonne net drums, as well the full set of additional winches for handling pelagic trawl gear.

The layout is for pumping catches aboard either over the starboard side when pursing or at the stern when trawling, with a pair of 24-inch electric fish pumps and the accompanying reels for the power cables and pumping hoses.

The 37.30-tonne purse winches are from Rapp Marine and Triplex supplied the purse seining hardware, including the Triplex 1020 electric hauler, in addition to the three KN-60 foredeck and fish pump cranes, the NK-7500 net winch crane and the corkline and leadline stackers.

The RSW system for the eleven tanks with a total 2185m3 capacity is a double Johnson Controls system and C-Flow 8 The MAN 6L32/44 main engine

supplied the vacuum system with two 4200 litre tanks and four 66kW power packs.

The wheelhouse is fitted out with a top-of-the-range package that includes a Furuno mk2 Videowall facing the control positions.

The fishfinders are ST-93 low frequency, CS-90 medium frequency and SN-90 scanning sonars, as well as an ES-80 echo sounder and a pair of FS-70 headline sonars, all from Simrad. The 3D sonar is from WASSP. A Scanmar Scanbas 365 monitors the trawl sensors.

Plotters are MaxSea TimeZero and Olex sets. The current log is a JLN 652BB from JRC. The 2238BB and 2218BB radars and the SC-130 GPS compass are from Furuno. Simrad supplied the GC-80 gyro compass and the AP-80autopilot. There are two Tecdis T-2138A ECDIS installations and the thermal imaging camera is a gyro-stabilised Flir M625 unit.

OPTIMISED POWER CONSUMPTION Odd Lundberg’s main engine is a MAN 6L32/44 CR common rail unit driving a Brunvoll Volda ACG 980-2 two-step reduction gear and a 4200mm CP98/4 propeller. There is a Cummins AvK, 2500 kW shaft generator, plus one 992kWe Cummins QSK38DM and two 567kWe QSK-19DM auxiliaries, with an arrangement that allows an output boost to the 3600kW main engine via the PTI when full power is needed for trawling.

During fishing, when the electric winch system is in largely continuous use, the main gear's PTO and the shaft generator will be switched on. When full power is needed for the winches, full performance on the main engine will not be needed. With

the main engine used solely for propulsion, the auxiliaries can supply sufficient power together to run the ship's normal power supply, including load on the winch system.

As the electrical system is prepared for parallel coupling of the generators, this ensures a high level of security in the system, as these together can adequately cover the vessel's power consumption. The main board is arranged so that the shaft generator can power the Brunvoll side thrusters, and the generators meet the requirements of the ship's other electrical systems.
