- The shellfish industry in England faces potential overexploitation of stocks like brown crabs due to a rise in potting effort over the past 5-10 years and concerns about economic viability. There is also latent license capacity that could undermine future management measures.
- Possible solutions include management measures at the national and local level to move away from reactive management and introduce pre-emptive action to reduce potential growth in fishing capacity.
- The latest proposals include introducing a rights-based management system within the English zone to allocate user-rights equivalent to a proportion of the total allowable catch for key shellfisheries like brown crab, lobster, and whelk. This aims to incentivize industry to rationalize
Innovation nation - How new developments in aquaculture are boosting the Scot...International Aquafeed
With an estimated market value of over £1.8 billion and Scottish salmon exports alone reaching over £500 million, Scotland’s aquaculture sector is fast becoming a core pillar for the future growth of the Scottish economy. However, with such a steep increase in the demand for fish products, there is a real need for innovation within the sector to stay ahead of the curve and provide a sustainable supply of healthy protein; not only for the present but for the future of a market that appears set to keep growing. Ahead of Aquaculture UK, CEO of the Scottish Aquaculture Innovation Centre (SAIC), Heather Jones, shares some of the organisation’s forays into finfish research projects and the ways in which is working with both industry and academia to enhance the whole of the Scottish aquaculture sector.
The Minister for Primary Industries has released his decision on the Management of the Snapper 1 fishery.

European guideline for quality of live crustaceans in retail and HORECA segmentsSara Barrento
This guideline was developed by me and colleagues from the European project CrustaSea.Besides creating the content for the introduction, edible crab, European lobster,storage, transportation and water quality chapters I also designed the general template and the infographics. They look a bit outdated now!
Improving Offshore Production WhitepaperDean Murphy
Benefit from a short whitepaper which reviews two recent presentations by senior representatives at EnQuest and Wintershall. The whitepaper looks at their approaches towards improving production efficiencies regarding their North Sea interests.
The report shares critical insight, including:
- A review of EnQuest’s production optimisation model currently being used in the North Sea to improve current operations
- A look at the planning that is going into extending the lifetime of Brage and how Wintershall are taking steps towards improving production
- Future considerations and development plans for EnQuest and Wintershall within the North Sea

1. A new approach to shellfish management
in England
Juliette Hatchman
SAGB Annual Conference, 17 May 2011
2. The problem
Potting effort risen over past 5-10 years
Potential overexploitation of stocks, in particular brown crabs
Concerns about economic viability of shellfish industry
Latent licence capacity threatening effectiveness of future
management measures

4. Possible solutions
Management measures at national & local level
Move away from reactive management costs to industry
expected to be smaller
Take pre-emptive action to reduce potential for future growth in
capacity of shellfish sector
5. Reducing potential for future growth in
capacity by
...capping overall fishing mortality within key shellfisheries
within English zone
introducing a rights based management system, which aims
to
Provide industry with greater responsibility of management of their
fishery
Provide means to take informed decisions on security & long term
financial viability of businesses
Incentivise industry to rationalise fleet & its capacity
Economically viable and sustainable industry
6. Latest proposals
Introduction of a rights based management system within
English zone of British Fishery Limits
Implemented through UK fishing licence
Allocation of user-rights to those wishing to prosecute key
shellfisheries
Applied to brown crab, lobster and whelk stocks to be kept
under review
Benefits for Industry and Government (and tax payer)
Learn lessons from existing systems in operation
7. Allocation of user-rights
User-rights equivalent to proportion of total allowable catch
(TAC) for an individual fishery
Allocated for fixed period of time (e.g. 5, 10 years)
TAC and user-rights based on historic landings data during
given reference period
Allocated to individuals, groups of individuals or communities
8. Allocation of user-rights
Current brown crab stock monitoring areas could be new stock
management areas?
Source: Final report: Future Management of
Brown Crab in UK and Ireland, Nautilus report
9. Work in progress
Seeking UK agreement of proposals within English zone
Working with fishermen and delivery partners, designing how
system could be set up and run
Conditions applied to user-rights
Trade/transferability of user-rights
Safeguards
Provisions for new entrants
Research project to explore how a rights based management
system could be implemented
10. Next steps
Exploring possibility of closing off/reducing potential for other
member states vessels to undermine national scheme (starting with
French and RoI)
Formal consultation on reform of English fisheries management
system launched at start of April running for 12 weeks
Looking to implement fully by 2013 to coincide with completion of
reform of English under-10 metre fleet
Exploring ways to address data gaps
11. Summing up
Identification of priority issues
Work underway to explore options for addressing priority issues
in short term & longer term
Empowerment of industry key
Keen to continue working with SAGB and its members
Policy currently in development this is your opportunity to
influence it
