This year’s international survey to map pelagic stocks in the North Atlantic has this year found record amounts of mackerel, while also identifying changes in distribution.

“The estimates from this year’s survey for mackerel are the highest we have recorded,” said international survey co-ordinator Leif Nøttestad.

“But we did not find mackerel in Greenlandic waters and there is a strong reduction in Icelandic waters. At the same time, there is an increase in central and northern parts of the Norwegian Sea.” The month-long survey is a joint initiative involving research bodies from Norway, Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Denmark,

The mackerel biomass is estimated at 12.30 million tonnes, a 7% increase compared to the 2019 results, and this is the highest biomass recorded since these surveys began in 2007. The heaviest concentrations of mackerel were found in the central and northern parts of the Norwegian Sea, while mackerel abundance in Icelandic waters has dropped by 72% since 2019.

Myklebust Verft has signed a deal with Sølvtrans for a third vessel in a series of Kongsberg-designed wellboats. The three Sølvtrans Rederi wellboats are to being completed at Myklebust on hulls built at the Hat-San yard in Turkey, built to a Kongsberg NVC389 design, and this additional third vessel to the two already on order is scheduled for delivery in April 2022.

The NVC389 wellboats are designed with a 4000 cubic metre loading capacity.

“In order to meet the demand for wellboat services both nationally and internationally, Sølvtrans has chosen to contract another wellboat at Myklebust Verft. We are experiencing great demand for our wellboats and are always concerned with being able to offer the highest quality both when it comes to boats and fish handling. In addition, it is important to be able to contribute to local value creation and jobs.

With this contract, we achieve this,” said Sølvtrans Rederi CEO Roger Halsebakk.

It’s been a lesson in ingenuity to see how much of the fish business has responded to the sudden imposition of a new working landscape

Ingenuity

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

This should have been our bumper issue, the exhibition issue of WF&A that should have accompanied the Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition.

That was until much of the world’s business was thrown into turmoil and frantically finding ways to stay afloat, while governments around the world blustered or floundered, and borders clanged shut in a way that hasn’t been seen in peacetime since long before any of us remember.

Like everyone else, we’ve had to find new ways to get things done.

The IceFish exhibition has been rolled over – same place, same time, but moved forward a year to September 2021. We’re far from alone in this as virtually single conference, exhibition or festival that brings together more than a handful of people has been either cancelled, postponed or turned into something online.

As a primary food industry, and producing some of the best protein there is, fishing and aquaculture will survive Covid-19. The demand for food isn’t going to vanish. Having said that, there are inevitably casualties.

There aren’t many businesses that won’t take a hit of some kind and not all will make it through unscathed to whatever the new normal turns out to be on the other side of all this.

It’s been a lesson in ingenuity to see how much of the fish business has responded to the sudden imposition of a new working landscape. The pandemic has thrown into sharp focus that at the far end of the chain are the seafood consumers, something that we sometimes lose sight of.

People aren’t eating out like they used to, and have been finding themselves instead cooking more at home. It practically goes without saying that high value species that feature prominently on restaurant menus are the ones that have generally dropped most in price.

There are fishermen and producers who have been able to tap into direct sales. Some remarkable initiatives around the world designed to bring consumers and fishermen together have appeared. There have been co-operative efforts that would have been unthinkable only a few months ago.

It’s always a mistake to underestimate the resourcefulness of fishing people when confronted by an obstacle, whether it’s a minor hold-up in getting hold of some obscure part for an engine room or a factory, or a major global pandemic interrupting supply chains.

The aquaculture industry contributes to the long-term viability of many communities, according to a new report commissioned by Marine Scotland, which finds that the sector provides year-round, well-paid jobs and supports economic growth in rural, coastal and island areas.

The ekosgen report, completed in January 2020 but its publication delayed due to Covid-19, states that UK aquaculture – the majority of which is located in Scotland – also supports a wider and more geographically dispersed supply chain including processing, distribution, feed supply and export.

“This report highlights once again just how significant aquaculture is to Scotland’s rural economy and the viability of our island and coastal communities.

The level of annual earnings for employees in these remote and island locations is significant and often not readily available from other jobs in these locations,” said Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing.

“Having a skilled and flexible

workforce will be a key factor in the future success of Scottish aquaculture. That’s why we continue to work with our partners to promote skills development and to encourage new entrants to consider this crucial sector as a viable career path. Given the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic the Scottish Government will continue to work to preserve the future of Scotland’s aquaculture sector and the social fabric of our remote and rural communities.”

The Supporting the Economic, Social and Environmental Sustainability of the UK’s Marine Sectors report – produced by economic and social research group ekosgen – also highlights key challenges.

These include employers recruiting and retaining the skills they need in areas such as engineering, science, fish husbandry, fish health, feeding and biology.

“Salmon farming is crucial to the viability of some of our most remote communities as this report makes clear.

“If we want these communities

8 Scotland currently accounts for around two-thirds of UK aquaculture jobs

to continue to thrive then we need to ensure conditions are as favourable as possible which means having the right skills, infrastructure and regulatory regime,” said Julie Hesketh-Laird, chief executive of the Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation.

The latest statistics on the size of the aquaculture sector in Scotland are due to be published in October, but Scotland currently accounts for around two-thirds of the UK’s total employment in the aquaculture sector. There were 2240 people directly employed by the aquaculture sector in Scotland in 2017 according to the publication Marine Economic Statistics.

The ekosgen report identified attracting employees as one of the challenges, linked to limited infrastructure and lack of access to local services and amenities. Employers in Ullapool and on the Isle of Rum have tackled this by developing their own housing in partnership with local communities.

Quality Fishing Gear and Service tailored to your needs

DALVÍK FACTORY SETS NEW STANDARDS

A new processing plant at the quayside in Dalvík in the north of Iceland brings together technology from a variety of Icelandic suppliers, with equipment and technology representing around half of the ISK 6 billion investment.

There’s a four-year development and construction process behind Samherji’s new 9000 square metre groundfish processing factory, and the first landing to the new plant was made by the company’s trawler Björg EA-7.

According to Gestur Geirsson, head of Samherji’s land-based processing, the initial production went well, although staff will need to build up experience of using these new systems.

“It went better than we had dared hope,” he said after the first day’s production. “It’s a challenge to start working with this new technology. It will take time to train staff who are learning to use this new technology and we’re optimistic that this will go well.”

It’s no understatement to say that the new factory is a long way ahead of the game in terms of technology, with a host of leading suppliers involved in the systems that provide this plant with a very high level of automation. The initial stages of processing uses heading machines from Baader Ísland and filleting machines from Vélfag, with Valka portioning systems.

Valka’s Ágúst Sigurðarson commented that their systems are prominent in the new factory, taking over as the fillets leave the filleting machines and taking these through a sophisticated and highly flexible set of channels with options for frozen and fresh production, including options for vacuum packs.

“Our systems handle everything from the filleting machines to packaging and the IQF freezers, including the software that manages the whole production process,” he said.

The freezers are from Frost, while Samey provided both stacking robots and tub-handling robots. In addition, Skaginn 3X, Marel, Raftákn, Slippurinn and a number of other Icelandic companies have also played a part in raising the Dalvík factory’s processing capacity to a new level.

The factory is already being seen as a showcase for the latest processing technology, and managers at Valka and other suppliers see this as a key element in their marketing strategies, with overseas visitors expected to take the opportunity to see for themselves what Icelandic tech companies can do.

“The production systems in this building are largely new,” said Samherji CEO Thorsteinn Már Baldvinsson as the new factory started work.

“The development and arrangement of many aspects of production are also innovative. In this plant we are doing something that hasn’t been done before, as we are taking automation further than has been seen up to now, which is designed to make working conditions lighter for the staff. In the design process we aimed specifically at providing staff with the best possible conditions, which includes taking into account light and sound levels. We see today as a milestone for the Icelandic fishing industry and for Icelandic technology,” he said.

INDUSTRY NEWS The international survey exploring pelagic stocks across the North Atlantic identified a greater abundance of mackerel than in previous years, as well as changes in distribution, with no mackerel in Greenlandic waters and less in Icelandic waters.

The abundance of AltantoScandian herring also appears to have increased, with a biomass estimated at 5.90 million tonnes, 24% more than was measured in 2019. This is attributed to the large 2016 year class which is now appears to have migrated from the Barents Sea into the Norwegian Sea. Distribution was found to be largely unchanged, with older year classes predominantly found north of the Faroe Islands and north and east of Iceland, with the younger stock present in the north-eastern part of the Norwegian Sea. The survey also paid attention to the distribution of blue whiting, and the results conclude that the biomass is 1.80 million tonnes, an 11% reduction compared to 2019.

MORE MACKEREL AND HERRING, LESS BLUE WHITING

8 Mackerel have been scarce in Icelandic waters this year

Blue whiting were found in all surveyed areas, except in cold water areas east of Greenland, waters between Iceland and Jan

&

Mayen and to the west and south of Iceland.

Sea temperatures to the east, south and west of Iceland, in the Irminger Sea and off eastern Greenland were slightly lower than at the same time last year

and stood close to the average sea temperature over the last 20 years. In most of the Norwegian Sea the temperature was close to or above the 20-year average, indicating a drop in temperature in western areas and an increase on eastern grounds.

The incidence of zooplankton in the Norwegian Sea is estimated to have remained unchanged, while there appears to be a 45% reduction in zooplankton in Greenlandic waters, and a 15% reduction in Icelandic waters.

The results of the survey have been presented to ICES, and will contribute to the 2021 recommendations for mackerel, Atlanto-Scandian herring and blue whiting fisheries that ICES will publish at the end of September.

The future of fishing

REIMAGINING FISH Fisheries and aquaculture can lead the crucial overhaul of global food systems, writes Jason Holland

8 “Fish is food and must be harvested for the long-term benefit of all,” said Manuel Barange, Director of Fisheries and Aquaculture Policy and Resources Division at the FAO

COVID-19 has exposed the frailty of global food systems and underlined the need for their transformation, but the onus is not just on making them far more resilient and able to withstand shocks such as those brought by the coronavirus pandemic, they must also ensure that they pass muster in terms of health and sustainability, heard the recent international forum ‘Building Forward Better with Aquatic Foods’, hosted by WorldFish.

Asserting that aquatic foods must be part of this new food landscape, Gareth Johnstone, Director General of WorldFish, informed the event that the pandemic’s epicentre had shifted from the developed to developing nations and that alongside the economic crisis triggered by COVID-19, the number of undernourished people looks set to increase by at least 14 million to over 80 million people, while another 70 million will be driven into extreme poverty.

“These are staggering numbers,” he said. “Under these circumstances, all of us must reimagine new ways of doing things and working together. This pandemic has forced us to confront the urgent need to transform our food systems – to do better for people and for our planet.”

Johnstone insisted that with a renewed focus on research approaches that are both interdisciplinary and holistic, there’s an excellent opportunity to rethink the future of food, including where it comes from, how it’s produced, distributed and consumed, who benefits from it, how it impacts the environment, and also how it can deal with major climate events or global disruptions like COVID-19.

As well as meeting the unprecedented global demand for

10 | SEPTEMBER 2020

fish and aquatic foods, and an annual consumption growth rate of just over 3% (outpacing both the world population expansion rate and the rise in meat consumption), fisheries and aquaculture are essential to the nutrition and livelihoods of more than 800 million people in developing countries, particularly those vulnerable to climate change, poverty, conflict and humanitarian emergencies, he said.

“With investment in better management and technology innovation, the ocean – if we think of it as a giant food system – can provide over six times as much food as it does today.

Aquatic foods can offer a critical solution for the 2 billion people worldwide who suffer the triple burden of malnutrition.

We cannot afford to ignore these facts if we are to feed and nourish 9 billlion people by 2050.”

Robert Bertram, Chief Scientist USAID’s Bureau for Resilience and Food Security, added that fish and aquatic foods are “a prime example” of where COVID-19 is affecting food and nutrition, and said that it’s important to identify these weaknesses in order to help the sector “build back better”.

He said, “There are all kinds of things that are constraining demand because poor people especially don’t have the money to spend on higher quality foods. At the same time, the fish and aquatic food value chains are exactly those that are the most vulnerable because there’s a lot of human activity along them.

“So it’s a dual whammy in a sense, with less affordable prices and less income, not to mention the direct hits on producers and all the [stakeholders] along the market chains – transport, producers, retailers etc. It’s basically a perfect storm for nutrition.”

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

INSIGHT MOBILISING MOMENTUM While there has been a historical tendency for fish to be overlooked in important policy and investment decisions in favour of the agriculture research agenda, Johnstone believes there’s evidence of some positive changes in attitude.

“Together, we need to mobilise a global movement to embolden these shifts to a more sustainable food system, where the research community, policymakers, donors, investors, business leaders, local producers, processors, traders and consumers can create shared value and codesign interventions that make aquatic foods an integral part of the food system’s transformation agenda.”

He also suggested three targets to help aquatic foods to be part of a sustainable and inclusive future: *Ensure the sustainable production of a wide diversity of aquatic foods, in turn minimising environmental impacts and also increasing adaptation and resilience to climate change *Ensure aquatic foods are affordable and accessible, thereby maximising social and economic benefits and facilitating shared prosperity and inclusive growth *Ensure aquatic foods are safe to eat – making them a key solution to nutrition and public health challenges A TON OF WORK TO BE DONE Jim Leape, Co-Director at the Center for Ocean Solutions, Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, acknowledged the many studies that have been conducted in recent years looking specifically at how to nourish a future population of some 10 billion people while sustaining the planet’s natural systems, stating that one study after another has found that the world will have to increasingly rely on food produced in ocean and freshwater fisheries and aquaculture.

“The increased production of aquatic foods is appealing because it has the potential to meet that demand with a much lower environmental impact, and aquatic foods can also be healthier. The oceans present a great diversity for consumers with over 2000 species from wild-capture and farming that are being eaten.”

While the world “simply can’t afford to neglect” the role that these products already have in global food systems, the pandemic crisis exposed fragilities within the current fisheries and seafood sectors, with major disruptions seen in many supply chains, Leape said.

But solutions are coming to the fore that will increase resilience, the forum was told.

“One of the things that’s exciting is the emerging technology that can give us much more visibility into value chains and distribution systems than we’ve had before. That would allow us to create a different kind of accountability for how we are managing all food production, and also to harness the private sector to help us move in the direction that’s called for by the [UN Sustainable Development Goals – SGSs] – to a more sustainable sector.

“There’s a ton of work to be done there, but there’s lots of potential,” Leape said.

IMPROVING THE LANDSCAPE As part of the transition to a global aquatic food systems approach, Manuel Barange, Director of Fisheries and Aquaculture Policy and Resources Division at the FAO, said that he would like to see better mechanisms to protect supply chains and to innovate fish-to-fork systems that allow, for example, more automation, more utilisation and to facilitate trade as much as possible.

In addition, he wants support systems to be strengthened as the inefficiencies within these have been “very badly demonstrated” during the pandemic.

“They have not been very successful, especially in smallscale fisheries where labour arrangements are often informal,” he said.

Branage also offered “a call to attention”, clarifying that while the 2020 edition of the biennial publication, “The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture” (SOFIA) reported that 2018 was a record year for the seafood sector in terms of production, consumption, trade and income, the FAO has also confirmed that the number of people suffering from hunger has been rising since 2015.

“The world is failing to fight hunger,” he said. “Fish is food and must be harvested for the long-term benefit of all.”

Summarising the discussions, Shakuntala Thilsted, Value Chains & Nutrition Research Leader at WorldFish, said she sees “so much potential” for aquatic foods to drive positive change within the COVID-19 recovery as well as to achieve the UN’s SGDs by 2030, and that this status deserves more attention in terms of research, policy and future investments.

“People’s ability to access diverse, nutritious and safe foods is at a risk, which in turn places health and resilience under threat. We must explore the diversity of aquatic foods as a key solution. We also need to understand consumer demands and promote aquatic foods as critical to keeping populations healthy and boosting immune systems, especially now in the midst of the COVID crisis..

“There has not been a better time to reimagine new ways of working together to bring meaningful partnerships, as well as combining resources, expertise and vision across the public and private sectors to address the global challenges of our time – prioritising the needs and aspirations of the world’s most vulnerable and poor,” she said.

NEWHORIZONS

Focusing on Fisheries Development

GRASSHOPPERS AND CRICKETS – PROTEIN FOR SALMON Based in Norway, Salmon Group and Metapod are trialling a new, locally produced feed for salmon made from grasshoppers and crickets, reports Bonnie Waycott Fishmeal prices have been rising, fuelled by the growth of aquaculture and the increasing demand for farmed fish. But with concerns high over aquaculture’s use of fish ingredients in feed, non-fishmeal alternatives are drawing attention for treading lightly on marine ecosystems and helping to ease the pressure on forage fish.

One company that’s focusing on such alternatives is startup Metapod. Launched in 2018, the company has developed technology to produce highly nutritious meal from grasshoppers and crickets. Now it’s engaging with Salmon Group, paving the way for a new type of salmon feed.

“Insects utilise energy in a very specific and efficient way, and I wondered how they could be used in food production as they contain a lot of protein,” said Fredrick Darien, Metapod’s founder and CEO. “I also asked myself how I could contribute to a better world, make aquaculture better and generate food for humans. On the one side we have population growth and people needing food, while on the other we have climate change. How could I bring these together to create an alternative protein source?”

“We decided to work with Metapod to respond to the growing need for more protein and nutritious food for the entire world population,” said Nils Inge Hitland, Purchasing and Feed Manager at Salmon Group.

“We need to think differently about food production along with new raw materials and technologies that make it possible to produce healthy, nutritious food for animals and people. The way Metapod thinks of resource management is completely in line with our sustainability work in practice, and doesn’t claim resources or land that could have been used for other food production for humans or animals. In terms of a circular economy, this is the right thing to do.”

Metapod produces insect flour in a closed facility that breeds grasshoppers and crickets sourced from a professional breeder in Germany. The insects are bred so that they’re less prone to pathogens and disease, while local production means short transport distances to the feed factories. As well as a stock colony and biobank, there is a research facility and post-processing facility for product refinement. Having built its technology from scratch, Metapod has full control over the composition of the insects’ food and all aspects of production until delivery. This allows it to control the insects’ nutritional profile and ensure a safe, nutritious food source.

The insects are fed with food leftovers from grocery stores and brewery production, components that would otherwise end up as waste. This contributes to the circular economy along with a reduction in carbon footprint.

“We use as many sources of waste as possible to produce a novel product, and in that way we’re almost able to produce a climate negative result. Essentially we’re absorbing more than we’re producing,” Fredrick Darien said.

“Local production means that this product demands minimal transportation to the fish farms, and using all

8 Metapod staff examine a grasshopper, which they see as the future of feed for farmed salmon

byproducts helps aquaculture in reducing waste. We make use of waste but we don’t produce it,” added Åsta Dale, biologist at Metapod.

In 2018, Salmon Group published a feasibility study, which showed that feed is the biggest carbon footprint contributor during salmon production. As a result, the company reduced its carbon footprint of feed by 36% and is taking further steps by incorporating Metapod’s insect meal.

“Their production has no footprint other than production itself as the food waste that the grasshoppers and crickets feed on would otherwise have been burnt,” Nils Inge Hitland said.

“Here it’s brought back into the value chain. Also, bycatch for fishmeal production burdens the ocean ecosystem. If the demand for fishmeal is reduced, there will be more selective fishing and better resource management.”

The mix of grasshopper flour to be used by Salmon Group will vary with the protein requirements of the different fish sizes throughout growth. Right now, Salmon Group is planning to use 10% of Metapod’s feed as an ingredient in its salmon’s diet. With insects a natural part of the diet of wild salmon in freshwater, feeding them to farmed fish is a result of the company’s continuous work to offer the best possible feed recipe at all times. It also has its own SG-recipe, which gives full control of feed production parameters, while ingredients can be continuously adjusted to balance fish health, environmental impact of production and the end product.

NEW HORIZONS “Consumers increasingly want to know where their food comes from and how it’s produced,” said Maria Schütz Fløisand, chief communications officer at Salmon Group.

“This gives responsible food producers a chance to stand out by making specific changes to their production to lower environmental impacts. Introducing a new ingredient such as Metapod’s with a very low environmental impact is a welcome move towards more sustainable food production.”

“Salmon Group’s test on the nutritional profile of our product shows that its quality is really good.

Our next step is to deliver a big batch so they can feed it to live salmon and trout and document the effects.” Åsta Dale added.

According to Metapod, no salmon farming company has introduced insect flour from grasshoppers and crickets until now. Salmon Group’s investment in Metapod is exciting, they said, and with protein sources becoming more relevant in aquaculture, insects such as grasshoppers and crickets have a strong advantage.

“They have a lot more protein than insect larvae, and protein is what fish farmers need right now,” Fredrick Darien explained.

“We have a great belief in insect meal because it’s natural for fish to eat insects and you aren’t inheriting problems that a synthetic protein like soy might give, such as inflammation in the gut.”

Research also shows that feed from grasshoppers and

crickets results in better immune systems and a better microbiota in the intestines as the fish receive a natural form of food.

“There is currently little research on the growth of salmon related to this new protein source,” Nils Inge Hitland said.

“But research on other fish shows no negative impact. We see insect meal as important in developing new raw materials and part of our work on building more sustainable farming.”

Insect meal could eventually reduce the need for fishmeal but a larger range of good protein materials could provide the basis for the sustainable growth of salmon farming.

Fredrick Darien commented that new, alternative protein sources will remain important in aquaculture.

“The basis of our innovation is to be able to compete with the bulk of producers of protein for fish, which is why we have designed our process to facilitate production on an industrial level,” he said. “With an estimated fivefold increase in salmon and trout production within the next 20-30 years (in Norway), there is a growing and urgent need for new, alternative protein sources to be integrated in the value chain. In this way, the overall markets can be safeguarded from potential disruptions like natural disasters and new pandemics. We believe insects have an important role to play and are confident that aquaculture will benefit from this novel protein.”

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

TESTING THYBORØN’S CONTROLLABLE TYPE 22 DOORS Pelagic trawler Themis S-144 has been the test bench for testing controllable pelagic trawl doors, and an initial round of tests earlier this year is now being followed up before the doors become available commercially

The choice went to the company’s high-efficiency Type 22 Bluestream trawl doors that have already proved their value both for pelagic fisheries and for spreading demersal gear with the doors flown off the seabed. The Type 22 doors also come in Flipper versions, fitted with up to four flaps that can be opened to reduce the surface area of the doors by up to 11%, providing adjustment options for switching from one gear type to another.

This makes the Bluestream doors among the most versatile trawl doors on the market, according to Henrik Andreassen.

“It’s about achieving more spread for less resistance,” he said, adding that the addition of a hydraulic system to the leading side of each door is set to increase this versatility further as this makes it possible to adjust the warp attachment point while towing to alter the roll of the doors – without having to haul the gear and make the adjustment manually.

“This means that the shape, symmetry, positioning and depth of the trawl can be adjusted remotely,” Henrik Andreassen said, after the initial trials on board Themis took place earlier this year.

“We were able to adjust the doors wirelessly from Themis’s wheelhouse, and saw that we could easily lift the doors from being hard on the bottom in 60 fathoms to just beneath the surface in a manoeuvre that took only a few minutes. This is a gamechanger, not just for pelagic vessels, but for groundfish trawlers as well.”

Regular customers have been aware for a while that this is in development, and Thyborøn Trawldoor has already delivered a number of pairs of its Type 22 Bluestream doors prepared for the control system to be added, and as soon as the last stage of testing the doors and the control system has been successfully completed on board Themis, these doors will become commercially available.

“There’s already a waiting list,” Henrik Andreassen said, commenting that it has been a long process to get this right, starting with extensive flume tank tests before the first fullscale trials took place, and since then they have been refining the system, which is powered by a long-life rechargeable lithium battery.

“The advantages of having control of the doors are clear.

This enables precise positioning, maintaining a distance to the surface or the seabed. The gear’s depth can be adjusted more quickly and it can be positioned more accurately for the target species, plus the symmetry of the gear can be maintained in a cross-tide and it’s possible to come about while maintaining the full door spread.”

SATLINK TO TRAIN OBSERVERS FOR REMOTE ROLES

Photo: Satlink

Satlink, which specialises in developing electronic monitoring technology for sustainable fishing, has launched an ambitious training program for on-board human observers responsible for compliance monitoring on vessels operating in various EEZs. This comes as some Regional Fisheries Organisations, such as the Western and Central Pacific Commission (WCPFC), have suspended the placement of human observers on purse seine vessels due to COVID-19 health concerns.

With this programme, Satlink is offering Regional Fisheries Organisations, local governments and fleets the possibility of conducting fishery monitoring through video data and images captured by electronic on-board observation systems, such as the Satlink SeaTube system.

The Satlink EM training programme would not only maintain the jobs of the observers in many parts of the Pacific, with around 800 professionals affected, but allow for more vessels to be monitored electronically.

Based on more than 5000 longline and purse seine vessels operating in the region, it is estimated that at least 25% more human observers will be needed. Importantly, this training would expand the use of EM and

improve existing fishery monitoring and compliance activities.

“These electronic monitoring systems are not only the main source of precise, reliable and verified data for the development of better selective fishing practices and the establishment of measures that ensure the sustainability of the stocks, but also for the

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

SEINE NETS DON’T COME SMARTER THAN THIS “These seine nets are pure genius,” said Stefán Egilsson, skipper of Thingeyri seine netter Egill ÍS-77, adding that this summer has seen a long spell of excellent fishing

8 Egill ÍS-77 is one of the Westfjords seine netters doing well with gear developed

by Hampiðjan’s Ísafjörður branch

He is one of a number of fishermen from the Westfjords region of Iceland who have every reason to be satisfied with the seine nets supplied by Hampiðjan in Ísafjörður, refined by master netmaker and branch manager Snorri Sigurhjartarson who has developed the seine net codends to select for size, keeping fish that are 3kg and larger, maximising catch values. This has worked exceptionally well, and the selectivity of these codends is very good as long as hauls are kept modest.

Stefán Egilsson said that he has two new Hampiðjan seine nets, both rigged on hopper footropes. These have proved their worth, as although the ground on the areas they fish is good, these patches are small and narrow, surrounded by hard ground that can easily damage fishing gear.

“These seines are always kept ready to use. We’ve been fishing both inside fjords and on the shallow grounds off the Westfjords, and catches have been exceptional. There has been heavy fishing here and I don’t remember seeing catches like these before. Egill isn’t a large boat and we have done our best to limit catches to the tub capacity we have on board. That hasn’t always worked out, but normally we have had 14 to 25 tonnes for a day’s fishing. Most of the catch is cod from 2kg and up to 8kg, and every size between,” he said.

Another fisherman who is no less satisfied with his Hampiðjan gear is Einar Guðmundsson who skippers Ásdís ÍS-2 from Bolungarvík.

“Snorri has rigged three seine nets for us and they have all given us fantastic performance. These are 420 mesh nets, and before that were using 560 mesh gear. This new version is

16 | SEPTEMBER 2020

noticeably lighter to tow than the old gear and everything is easier to work. The patches we fish on aren’t big, but this seine fits them perfectly,” Einar said, adding that they fish mainly on an area off Aðalvík on the southern side of the Hornstrandir peninsula, around 22 nautical miles from Bolungarvík.

“There’s been fine fishing all summer. Our smallest trip was three tonnes, but we’ve also had 40-tonne days.

Normally it’s between 30 and 40 tonnes for a day’s fishing, and it’s mostly cod over 4kg. By-catch is haddock, plaice and catfish,” Einar Guðmundsson said.

He explained that Ásdís works year-round. The shrimp season starts in January and fishing for plaice gets underway in the spring, followed by the usual seine net fishery that continues until January. Virtually all roundfish and flatfish catches are sold at auction.

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

A BETTER TAKE ON TOOTHFISHING – RIGHT DOWN THE LINE

Photo: Pesquera Azul

“We are fishermen,” was the simple reply when asked why a group of Norwegians would go all-in for longline fishing in Antarctic waters, oceans apart from their North Sea home base

“Any new opportunity in the fishing industry is exciting for us,” Arne Birkeland said. He’s the CEO of Pesquera Azul, a Norwegian-owned longline fishing company operating out of Uruguay. He and his founding partners see huge potential in the Patagonian toothfish industry, not least because the current fleet is made up of older vessels and inefficient methods.

With an innovative new vessel and longline technology to increase both volume and quality of the catch, Pesquera Azul and the fishermen behind it are set to change all that.

Arguably the main challenge for longline toothfishing is the whale population taking fish from the lines in large numbers. Studies have shown that as much as 70% of the catch is taken by whales.

“This reduces the catch, and depletes fish stock as well,” he said.

“Toothfish stock is slow to build. If we can reduce the number of caught fish needed to fill quotas, we can help maintain the strength of the stock.”

Pesquera Azul’s innovative Sago Extreme concept, developed by Sago Solutions AS, encloses the catch using a cage that runs along the line, collecting and protecting live fish until they can be brought on board. Damage to the fish caused by gaffing when hauling laden lines is also eliminated.

“Some of the most productive fishing grounds are contaminated by lost equipment,” Arne Birkeland said, explaining that for years the fleet has had to avoid these fishing grounds due to these ghost lines. Now Pesquera Azul is taking initiative for the cleanup.

The new Ocean Azul is equipped with the Ghost Gear Cleaner toolkit to collect lost gear and return it to shore, and Ocean Azul is working with its own stronger lines to reduce breakage, thus reducing both lost catch and lost gear.

“Our goal is to have a vessel that retrieves more lines than it loses,” he said.

18 | SEPTEMBER 2020

8 With an innovative vessel and new longline technology, Pesquera Azul expects to increase both the volume and quality of the toothfish catch

A key feature of Ocean Azul is an extension housing the Sago Pool, an adjustable opening in the hull to bring the catch into a protected space, instead of hauling lines over the side or through a moonpool. Lines are also deployed from the enclosed Sago Pool, eliminating bird strikes. In case of problems with the new technology, there are also backup systems ready to be used.

The venture also brings economic benefit for the local and regional economies.

“We have a local representative running the company in Uruguay, and Ocean Azul will be a Uruguayan-registered vessel employing local crews,” Arne Birkeland said, estimating that the enterprise should create 40-50 new local jobs.

“Sustainable fishing is a high priority for regional and local authorities, and our concept can help them achieve this goal,” he said.

“A big part of what we are doing is helping to bring a higher standard of operations to the region.”

Following delays due to Covid-19 restrictions, Ocean Azul is ready to go and Pesquera Azul will be conducting tests of the new systems as they go along, providing an objective comparison with traditional methods. The tests will be documented by third parties to ensure validity, including local scientists and experts – and Arne Bikeland sees this as a joint Norwegian-Uruguayan project.

“We are in contact with the Uruguayan authorities in order to present the benefits of this project to both countries, and to Antarctic longline fishing. Uruguay wants to be known as a secure investment environment, and we feel confident in getting their full support for this significant investment in the Uruguayan economy,” he said.

“We can improve the catch and strengthen fish stock, while significantly improving working conditions and safety for crews. These are the things that really matter for everyone in the fishing industry.”

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

HIGH-PERFORMANCE KNOTLESS UHMWPE NETTING Endumax is a 60μm-thick film that offers high strength, high modulus and resistance to impact, abrasion, chemicals and sunlight.

Kinoshita Fishing Net’s own production technology makes it possible for Endumax that has been sliced into strips several millimetres in width to be braided into highly functional MX-4 netting for fishing applications.

According to Kinoshita, MX-4 is particularly suitable for purse seine gear for skipjack, tuna, horse mackerel and mackerel, which are used under tough conditions where durability and fast draining are crucial. MX-4 does not shrink easily and maintains its resistance to abrasion even after hundreds of shots, while also minimising gear maintenance.

As fishing gear made in MX-4 is hauled, it is reported to shed water immediately, making it lighter to work with and also keeping the netting clean.

With testing carried out, high-tech materials company Teijin and fishing gear manufacturer Kinoshita Fishing Net Mfg. Co are now making available the first high-performance knotless fishing net made with an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) film.

Kinoshita Fishing Net has already begun selling MX-4 made with Teijin’s Endumax UHMWPE and aims to be supplying 50 tonnes annually by 2025, including sales of Endumax netting for purse seines, and subsequently with growth into traps, fish farms and trawl gear.

Teijin has already developed a range of industrial applications for Endumax, including ropes, bulletproof clothing and lightweight containers for air cargo, in addition to netting for the fishing industry and the company expects to develop additional applications.

MX-4 brings together Teijin’s advanced Endumax film and Kinoshita Fishing Net’s manufacturing technology to produce high-strength knotless netting with excellent abrasion resistance. In addition to Muketsu knotless netting made with twisted strands, Kinoshita Fishing Net also has unique capacity to produce braided knotless netting, sold under the BM brand for purse seines, traps and fish farms.

AQUACULTURE

RESEARCH PROJECT PUTS NEW FOCUS ON GILL HEALTH Gill health is again in the spotlight, as aquaculture research continues to address global health challenges, reports Bonnie Waycott For salmon aquaculture, gill disease is a major focus of research efforts, particularly in Scotland where one group has launched a new project to enhance fish health and welfare by improving understanding and treatment.

Gill disease presents challenges and and its impact on fish performance at sea is one of aquaculture’s most important health issues.

Responsible for oxygen uptake, osmoregulation and defence, the gills and their health are influenced by a host of factors such as site-specific variables, fish diet, water temperature and oxygenation levels. Knowledge of gill responses is crucial to understanding the risk of lifethreatening complications in fish, while good health management is key to the sustainability of aquaculture.

The group behind the gill disease research project includes Prof. Sam Martin, Dr. Ela Krol and Dr. Alex Douglas of the University of Aberdeen, Dr. Ralph Bickerdike of salmon grower Scottish Sea Farms, Dr. Victoria Valdenegro of aquaculture feed producer BioMar and Dr. Patricia Noguera of Marine Science Scotland. Co-funded by the Scottish Aquaculture Innovation Centre (SAIC), the research explores the geographical, temporal and nutritional factors that affect the gill health of salmon in sites in Scotland. Samples are also being taken from Tasmania, Australia, whose aquaculture sector also wishes to understand more about gill health.

“In salmon aquaculture, gill disease is right up there with sea lice,” said SAIC aquaculture innovation manager Caroline Griffin. “It’s a major health challenge and costs the industry a lot of money. In Scotland, there are a number of gill health projects underway and this latest one compliments those.

It’s very important.”

Gill health becomes progressively more problematic during summer and autumn as water temperatures rise. The management of gill disease brings extra complications due to different factors that lead to inflammation and disease.

Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD) caused by the protozoan amoeba species Neoparamoeba perurans is one of the most common and frequent problems that aquaculture faces. But when more than one agent or environmental insult occurs simultaneously, this leads to a more challenging condition when a combination of factors affects the gills. This is referred to as Complex Gill Disease/Disorder (CGD). In salmon, good gill health is imperative when the fish are being treated for sea lice, as the gills cannot be compromised during treatment.

With a broad set of factors influencing gill health, this latest project aims to find the optimum balance among them to promote good health and improve natural resistance to gill conditions in salmon. It’s also aiming to create a set of biomarkers to monitor gill health, develop new diagnostic tools for more informed decision-making by farmers and help develop nutritional products to improve gill health.

“In order to investigate gill health, salmon farms score gill arches for obvious pathology and for various stages of health,” she said. “But this can be complicated because it’s done by a different person each time and observations can

20 | SEPTEMBER 2020

differ from person to person. It’s also a high level assessment and doesn’t give clues to underlying causes. This is why this latest project is looking at biomarkers. The team is trying to find suitable ones that will enable gill disease to be monitored in much more detail.”

Results from field trials in two very different environments - Scotland and Tasmania - are key, according to Caroline Griffin. For example, the group hope that results from Tasmania, where salmon are farmed close to their thermal limit during the summer, will help them plan for any changes that could occur in Scotland due to climate change.

Geographical locations are also said to impact gill disease so working in different environments will help shed some light on how, she added. Some farms may be more sheltered while others are more exposed.

“The group is trying to get a much better picture of what impacts gill health and how,” she said. “It’s complicated in that there are many areas to consider - nutrition, algal blooms, water quality, time of year and farm conditions - but there are many scientists and producers working on this issue. Everyone wants to solve this problem so it’s really great how they’re collaborating and trying to find a solution.

A range of different results is expected, which will be extremely helpful in further research.”

Essentially the project aims to find a panel of indicator genes that could speed up health assessments and give a deeper understanding of the underlying inflammatory reaction. It’s also

AQUACULTURE taking a holistic view - exploring not just the key factors that affect gill health but also how they might affect one another. This will help identify the best growing conditions for farmed fish.

Hopes are high that the project’s results will give farmers a much better understanding of the progression of gill pathology and allow them to take action, such as using functional feeds that may boost gill immunity and control inflammation.

Biomarkers and all results gained from the project will be shared with the scientific community and aquaculture industry and will be highly useful for defining how new diets may impact gill health, not just in Scotland but also around the world.

The project is also likely to aid genetics and breeding research in farmed salmon. In December 2019, experts from the University of Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute, the Institute of Aquaculture at the University of Stirling and genetics and technology firm Hendrix Genetics collected and analysed samples from farmed salmon after an outbreak of complex gill disease at a salmon farm in Chile. Information on the genetic makeup of these fish is being gathered, and the results are likely to help the researchers work out how to breed fish with enhanced resistance. Together with the latest project, mitigation strategies that include selective breeding to improve gill health are likely to be established. This will offer significant improvements in mitigating the impact of gill disease on salmon farms.

Seasonal variability in seawater temperature and dissolved oxygen have also stressed the need to better understand gill disease and heightened interest in new prevention and treatment methods. But although research projects are crucial, Caroline Griffin commented that there is one way in

8 Good gill health is imperative when the fish are being treated for sea lice, as the gills cannot be compromised during treatment

which farmers can work towards improving gill health, and fish health and welfare overall.

“When gill disease occurs, the fish must be treated immediately, so monitoring them constantly is the only way to detect any problems and ensure that treatment is administered as soon as possible,” she said.

Although due to begin imminently and last for 18 months, the coronavirus pandemic is likely to impact affect the project’s scheduling. But with contingency planning in place to ensure a successful outcome, Caroline Griffin is hopeful that it will be able to continue.

“It depends on the pandemic but if the project does go to plan, the team will have a suite of biomarkers that they can test. This will make it possible to move forward because biomarkers will be a great tool for the industry,” she said.

ENCOURAGING BARRAMUNDI FARMING RESULTS Results from a pilot Asian sea bass (barramundi) farming project in India has shown that the fish can be a profitable species for the country’s aquaculture sector, reports Aneetha NG

8 The Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Aquaculture (RGCA) in Tamil Nadu produced 15 tonnes of barramundi in a demonstration pond

Looking to encourage barramundi (Lates calcarifer) farming as an alternative to shrimp, a demonstration farm at the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Aquaculture (RGCA) at Sirkali in Tamil Nadu has been able to produce 15 tonnes of barramundi from a one-hectare pond.

Although sea bass is traditionally produced for the restaurant trade across India, it is now largely being sold as fillets for direct sales to major supermarkets.

“It is an ideal fish for farming in freshwater, brackish water and saline waters, and can be cultured in open pond as well as in cages,” said an official at the RGCA. “It has white flaky flesh and is highly preferred by consumers and fetches around US$5.35-6.69/kg in the local market. There is good demand and value in both domestic and export markets.”

The recent sea bass initiative is to encourage the farming community, with the official adding it could also help farmers earn lucrative prices given the rising demand in the domestic and foreign markets.

In just ten months, the RGCA farm raised 15 tonnes of fish with an average weight of 1.2-1.5kg. The fish were fed artificial floating pellet feeds and the food conversion ratio was found to be encouraging at 1:1.8. Production cost was around US$4.0 with the fish sold at a profit.

“Sea bass is a boss of diversified aquaculture. It will induce aquaculture farmers to diversify their cultivation choices, especially as an alternative to shrimp farming,” said MPEDA Chairman K S Srinivas said.

Sea bass production has now become a viable option for farmers in the area, who had voluntarily reduced areas of shrimp cultivation after the white spot syndrome and EosinophiliaMyalgia Syndrome had affected earlier yields.

The RGCA has been supplying juvenile stock from quarantined parent stock to certified farmers, as well as providing proper training on cultivation methods in brackish water and cage culture.

An official from the Fisheries Department said the

22 | SEPTEMBER 2020

government is keen to encourage farmers to cultivate the crop without using much antibiotics and other chemicals.

Brackish water aquaculture plays a significant role in the nutritional and financial security of the country, said an official of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), a lead body and national testing agency.

ICAR has teamed up with the Central Institute of Brackishwater Aquaculture (CIBA), a research institute that serves as the nodal agency for catering to the needs of the brackish water aquaculture research in India. This helps develop diversified production systems and species, and formulate science based strategies for better biosecurity protocols. ICAR-CIBA collaborated with the Maharashtra government’s Mangrove Foundation to implement a project on brackish water cage culture with multi-trophic candidate species in diverse rearing systems.

As an official pointed out, the major mandate of CIBA has been to innovate and to transform brackish water aquaculture towards sustainability.

“After achieving a record growth in farmed shrimp production, the industry is facing a downturn due to several reasons ranging from emergent disease to low market rates. The institute decided to address the issue with a cost effective biofloc based nursery system, which has been developed and demonstrated in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh,” said the official.

Earlier, the Indian government had signed a memorandum of understanding with the Chennai-based CIBA to boost farmed barramundi production following increased market demand.

The first step involved launching a hatchery while continuing the partnership of CIBA with Mangrove Foundation of Maharashtra for the promotion of brakish water cage farming.

CIBA, in collaboration with the Mangrove Foundation, Maharashtra, has initiated a three-tier sea bass farming programme such as nursery rearing, pre-grow out and grow out culture in mangrove coastal ecosystem as a form of community based farming.

FISH HEALTH FOCUS FOR SSF’S NEW FAIR ISLE

Photo: Scottish Sea Farms

Coronavirus hasn’t stopped Scottish Sea Farms putting into operation a new service vessel which will play a crucial role in protecting fish health

“The COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the need to safeguard the supply and flow of fresh, nutritious food around the world, and we remain as committed as ever to investing in the areas, activities and infrastructure that will ensure our farming approaches are fit for the future,” said Scottish Sea Farms managing director Jim Gallagher.

Representing an investment of £1.9 million, the 21.20 metre by 9.30 metre breadth Fair Isle – named after the island lying between Shetland and Orkney – will work primarily in Scottish Sea Farms’ northerly regions.

This, in turn, frees up existing workboat Sally Ann to service the company’s mainland farms.

“Having an additional vessel means we can respond more quickly and be more proactive in those instances where a veterinary treatment would help prevent an emerging health challenge from developing,” said Scottish Sea Farms’ Head of Fish Health, Dr Ralph Bickerdike.

“At the moment, things are looking good in terms of gill health and fish survival for the year to date is 96%, which is as it should be during a low water temperature period. However, we can’t be complacent; we need to make sure as we go into the summer that we have all the resources available.”

Currently, water quality is monitored daily and fish from every pen are carefully hand-checked weekly to help detect the warning signs of gill disease. The new vessel will add to this ‘prevention over cure’ approach by enabling farmers to administer treatments, where needed, at an earlier and more effective stage.

“As with the rest of the sector, we faced a huge challenge in terms of gill health last year and we’ve made a series of investments as a result,” Ralph Bickerdike explained.

“We’re working hard to ensure our farmers are equipped to deliver preventative care as and when it’s required, and the Fair Isle will help towards that.”

Built at Nauplius in the Netherlands and featuring a wide deck with 60-tonne carrying capacity, the vessel is the latest

24 | SEPTEMBER 2020

8 Scottish Sea Farms has taken delivery of new service vessel Fair Isle

– and biggest – addition to the salmon farmer’s fleet.

Fair Isle has three fully fitted cabins which will be home from home for the two crews of three who will work a three-week on, three-week off shift pattern and be deployed wherever they can be of most benefit.

“With a service speed of eight knots, she’ll be very flexible and can steam between regions and move around as required. She can even travel to mainland farms to help with treatments, if needed,” commented Scottish Sea Farms’ Shetland region marine engineering manager Keith Fraser.

Designed to withstand the extreme weather conditions of Shetland and Orkney, Fair Isle has a large HS Marine deck crane with three times the lifting capacity of Scottish Sea Farms’ other boats in the area.

This is all part of meeting the demands of modern day salmon farming, says Scottish Sea Farms’ Regional Manager for Orkney, Richard Darbyshire, who has also been involved in Fair Isle’s initial design.

“Farm equipment and infrastructure has gone up in size and weight over recent years, and we need boats that can cope in order to provide an even safer working environment for our staff and protect the wellbeing of our stock,” he said.

“In addition to veterinary treatments, we scoped the vessel so it can do grid inspections, laying and replacing mooring systems, setting up farms for smolts coming in, putting in and rigging new nets, and towing barges. It’s a fantastic boat.”

Fair Isle will also contribute towards the company’s ongoing roll-out of protective Seal Pro netting systems.

“Seal predation is a major threat to fish health, causing stress, harm and even death, so we have been installing Seal Pro netting systems extensively in the drive to deter seals from preying on our livestock,” said Scottish Sea Farms’ regional manager for Shetland Graham Smith.

“Fair Isle has a key role to play in this, enabling us to transport and install the newer, heavier duty netting more easily than before.”

AQUACULTURE A two year development has gone into a unique rotating cage system for growing oysters, invented by Grzegorz Skawiński.

It allows for three times more oysters within the same area of seabed, with oyster sacks placed one above the other, rather than traditional farming of side by side on trestles, saving space on the seabed and increasing production.

As the device rotates, it allows the oysters to move freely, aiding growth. Normally each oyster bag is turned by hand – five in a row on a trestle. Grzegorz Skawiński’s system allows 16 to be turned in one rotation. The project currently in prototype stage has other benefits, including taking out much of the heavy lifting and back pain that are common ailments with the industry.

Along with a high quality oyster in terms of shape and meat, the device can farm in deeper waters, previously inaccessible. Pollution is also mitigated as the rubber bands that hold bags in place on a trestle are not required on the device.

Grzegorz Skawiński developed the product in Ireland, having worked in oyster farming in Co. Waterford for eight years, where he saw the potential of a new product to help with ease of farming and plastic pollution, but vitally production levels and increased profits.

TURNING OYSTER FARMING ON ITS HEAD “The idea of rotation was born while working on the project. The main goal of the project was to place as many oysters as possible on the seabed surface.”

He first started on the project in 2017, and created the device for testing and research purposes. It is now patented in Ireland, along with patents expected in the UK and France.

Grzegorz Skawiński is now keen to move on with the next phase of the business – either to sell the licensed patent, or work with a manufacturer to market the product globally.

KARSTENSEN DELIVERS KRISTIN TO DONSÖ OWNERS There was something of a delay in the delivery of Cuxhaven-registered pelagic trawler Kristin and despite the drawback of the delayed completion, this brought some advantages

8 Kristin NC-336 alongside at Donsö

The supplier originally contracted to produce Kristin’s hull unexpectedly withdrew from the agreement, so the work was transferred to Karstensen’s own yard in Poland. In the meantime, some changes were made to the regulations governing German fishing vessels, raising the allowable tonnage from 800gt to 1000gt, which made it possible to extend the new Kristin’s capacity before work had begun at the yard.

Operating company Kristin Fischereigesellschaft mbH is owned by a partnership based on the Swedish island of Donsö in the archipelago west of Gothenburg, with the three owners also sailing as Kristin’s skipper, mate and engineer.

Kristin’s hull was delivered to the Karstensen yard in Skagen in January this year and was completed ready for delivery in July.

Built to a Karstensen design, Kristin has a 53.55 metre overall length with a 11.20 metre moulded breadth and a 1080 cubic metre capacity in eight RSW tanks.

Kristin is expected to operate in both industrial and human consumption fisheries, fishing for sprat and sandeel for reduction and delivering catches of herring for production, The strict quality requirements for both industrial and human consumption mean that a strong focus has been placed on the RSW facilities, as well as on optimising working and living conditions, and coming up with an optimised operating profile to ensure minimal energy consumption.

Catches in the eight tanks are chilled by the double Johnson Controls (JCI), 2x700 kW/2x605,000 kCal/h RSW system. The vacuum pump system is from Önnereds Welding and has two 66kW compressor units and twin 2800 litre tanks.

Kristin’s power arrangement is in line with the thinking applied to recent Karstensens deliveries, working on the

26 | SEPTEMBER 2020

principle that the full propulsion power and full power to the winches are not needed at the same time.

Deck equipment is an all-electric MacGregor Rapp Marine system with 50 tonne trawl winches and a pair of 60 tonne net drums facing the hydraulic stern hatches and guide rods.

Rapp Marine also supplied the 38 tonne tail-end winch, mooring and anchor winches, and the net sounder winch, as well as the two 16 inch electric fish pumps – a first for the region’s fleet – and the drums for the fish pump hose and power supply.

SeaQuest supplied the forward 4t/16m and the aft 4t/12m deck cranes.

The main engine is a 2309kW MaK 8M25 driving a 3800mm diameter Cat Propulsion (Berg) MPP850 propeller via a Reintjes LAF 4555 reduction gearbox, which has a PTO powering a 1200kW n AvK Cummins DSG 86 shaft generator which is intended as the primary power supply.

While fishing, with the electric winch system in largely continuous use, the PTO and shaft generator are engaged.

When full power is needed for the winches, it is unlikely that there will be a need for full propulsion power, so the arrangement allows the main engine to serve as the power source for both propulsion and power supply, without the need to run auxiliaries.

In the event that there is a need for additional power to the propulsion system, then one of the two 400kWe Scania DI13 can supply the ship’s normal power supply as well as the winch system in towing mode.

As Kristin’s electrical system is prepared for load-sharing/ parallel coupling of the two generators, there is be a great deal of security built into the system, as these together are able to meet the vessel’s power requirement.

NUEVA PESCANOVA FRESHER TRAWLER LAUNCHED 8 NovaNam Two has been launched for fitting out at the Armón yard in Vigo

Photo: Nueva Pescanova

With two of its new vessels already in operation, Nueva Pescanova has two more under construction and three more to come.

The company has invested heavily in new tonnage, with a €42.5 million investment going into seven new vessels being built at the Armón yard in Vigo for Nueva Pescanova subsidiaries in Mozambique and Namibia.

The latest launch is the 50 metre NovaNam Two. This is the third in the series of fresher trawlers built to fish for hake, with lead vessel Lalandii 1 already delivered last year, and NovaNam One floated off earlier this year and currently being fitted out for delivery in September.

In addition to its three new fresher trawlers for NovaNam, Nueva Pescanova is building three 32-metre shrimp freezers for its Pescamar subsidiary in Mozambique, with the first in the series, Ponta Matirre, already fishing since the early part of this year.

According to Nueva Pescanova, its €42.5 million investment in new fishing capacity focuses on increased efficiency and crew conditions, with the new trawlers fitted with high-efficiency engines for reduced fuel consumption and emissions, and more sophisticated processing capacity on board, as well as a new level of working and living conditions for crews.

TAKING VERSATILITYʉTO A NEW LEVEL A unique new fishing vessel built to operate primarily as a longliner for Patagonian toothfish has been delivered by Båtbygg in Norway to Austral Fisheries. Cape Arkona also has capacity for pelagic trawling and for fishing with traps.

The Skipskompetanse-designed, 66.90 metre LOA, 15 metre breadth Cape Arkona has been completed at Båtbygg on a hull constructed at Marine Projects in Gdansk. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the decision was taken not to hold a christening ceremony or celebration, and the latest addition to the Austral Fisheries fleet departed in early July from the yard in Måløy for its 45-day delivery trip to Fremantle in Western Australia.

While Cape Arkona’s primary role is longlining for toothfish in the Southern Ocean, the owners came to the design process with a requirement to be able to pelagic trawl for icefish, and also to include a setup for handling traps. The company has already experimented with trapping for toothfish, and this provides an alternative to longlining that prevents cetacean predation as well as opening possibilities for fishing for toothfish year-round, as the current

28 | SEPTEMBER 2020

season is limited to the winter while seabirds are not breeding.

The longline setup is a 70,000-hook system with equipment supplied by BFG Fiskevegn, with a line hauler, hook separator and magazine system, as well as the baiting machine and lines. The line is shot through an opening built into Cape Arkona’s stern, so that lines are deployed into the water below the surface to eliminate bird strikes, although there is still a requirement to operate with Torry lines to deter seabirds.

The pot hauler is from Fremantle Hydraulics and the electric trawl winch system on board is from Rapp Hydema.

Cape Arkona’s factory deck is from Westmek, with freezers and a refrigeration system from Teknotherm providing a 50-tonne per day freezing capacity, with catches stored in the 1154 cubic metre refrigerated hold.

The design of any multifunctional vessel sets challenges, not least when there is a requirement for both active and passive fishing methods in the same hull.

To optimise Cape Arkona for its different operating profiles, an engine room with an innovative father-and-son system has

been designed, including a Brunvoll gearbox and propeller.

Cape Arkona’s 1825kW Caterpillar 3516C and 1250kW 3512C deliver power to a custom-built Brunvoll gearbox, driving a variable speed, controllable pitch CP95/4 P propeller, with a pair of shaft generators able to provide power to the ship’s systems, frequency-modulated to provide a steady 60hZ supply at any speed.

One of the two shaft generators connected to the same gear can be run as an electric propulsion motor / PTI. This allows power to be adapted to actual consumption, reducing running time and optimising load profile on main engines while reducing fuel consumption and providing a very robust and redundant solution. To further reduce consumption and increase safety, a peak shaving battery installation from Elmarin/Corvus has been fitted, which also acts as blackout prevention.

The batteries also absorb regenerated electricity from trawl winches and re-distribute this on board as needed.

A number of companies within the Måløy Maritime Group (MMG) have been involved in Cape Arkona’s build. These include the
