Canada launches third call for Ghost Gear Fund proposals

Canada’s Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard Joyce Murray has announced that Fisheries and Oceans Canada has launched a third call for proposals under the Ghost Gear Fund.

Breakthrough opens way for low-impact scallop fishery

A partnership between marine scientists and fishermen in England’s South West has resulted in a new environmentally friendly method for fishing scallops using innovative illuminated pots which have been dubbed ‘scallop discos’. Most commercial scallop harvesting is carried out using dredges, seen as a high-impact method. This new approach paves the way for a new low-impact inshore fishery which could reduce the effects of scallop dredges. Scientists from bycatch prevention technology specialist Fishtek Marine developed this while trialling PotLights which are small underwater lights used to attract crab and lobster to pots. These were invented by the Devon-based company to… [...]

Loophole leaves migrant crews open to systematic abuse

A report by the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) claims that migrant fishermen working on UK vessels are vulnerable to systematic labour exploitation as the Government refuses close loopholes in its immigration rules – while the Scottish Fishermen’ Federation states that it ‘contains much that fishing industry representatives do not recognise.’ According to the ITF, vessel operators are able to use the Seafarers’ Transit Visa to bring migrant workers from outside Europe to the UK, enabling some to exploit fishermen’s fears over their immigration status to make them work long hours for as little as £3 an hour – significantly… [...]

Plans floated for 80,000-tonne salmon plant

A memorandum of understanding has been signed between salmon producer Arnarlax and the Vesturbyggð municipality in western Iceland for the construction of a 10,000 square metre, 80,000-tonne capacity salmon processing plant. This would be a high-tech facility, planned for Vatnseyri in Patreksfjörður, and the plant is expected to generate around a hundred jobs in the region. ‘I’m very satisfied with this breakthrough agreement with Vesturbyggð,’ commented Arnarlax CEO Bjorn Hembre. ‘This first step enables us to initiate formal licensing applications and the design and preparation work for a high-tech processing facility in Patreksfjörður that will generate many valuable jobs. This… [...]

Fiskerforum.dk has owned Trawlerphotos for many years, but as online trends and news consumption patterns change, we have decided to phase out the Trawlerphotos page in its current form, partly because it has been in existence for so long that technology has left it behind and updates are problematic – focusing instead on our other digital platforms.
Take a look at the Trawlerphotos page and group on Facebook and keep posting you pictures in those forums for them to be visible to everyone in the fishing industry.
