This agrees with most previous work on red muscle in steady swimming fish such as bass (Jayne and Lauder, 1995, 1996), mackerel and
saithe (Wardle and Videler, 1993), carp (van Leeuwen et al., 1990; van Leeuwen, 1995), eel (Williams et al., 1989; Wardle et al., 1995), adult rainbow trout (Hammond et al., 1998), and with previous work on scup (Rome et al., 1993).
This is expected to lead in the long term to a catch which is less than the maximum sustainable catch, but which is close to the catch which maximises the rents associated with the resource.(25) Consideration is being given to extending this procedure, which benefits from some automaticity, to other species such as shrimp, haddock,
saithe, redfish and Greenland halibut, several of which have stocks which are in poor condition, in part due to a lack of co-ordinated stock management with neighbouring countries.
Fishermen also were allowed to supplement their catch quotas for cod, haddock, and
saithe as well as herring and mackerel in the pelagic fisheries.
Cod, haddock,
saithe and the rest are now reaching maturity earlier than they used to in the warm(er) water of today.
For mackerel, a negotiations with Iceland are advancing but the talks are still stalled with the Faroe Islands,a she said.</PARA><PARA>The fluctuations in TACs from 2013 to 2014 by species and zones range from the total closure of certain fisheries (including herring, cod, haddock, Norway lobster,
saithe, capelin and redfish in certain zones) to large increases for others: +145% (Irish Sea herring), + 86% for megrims (North and North-West Spain), +29% for Greenland cod and +87% for mackerel icefish.
Stocks in EU waters of the North-East Atlantic that were not overexploited in 2012 were as follows: blue whiting (North-East Atlantic), cod (Celtic Sea, English Channel, Eastern Baltic), sole (Skagerrak, Kattegatt and Baltic Sea, Western English Channel, Southwest Ireland and Celtic Sea), haddock (North Sea, Skagerrak and Kattegatt, Rockall, West of Scotland), herring (North Sea, West of Scotland, Irish Sea, Celtic Sea, Western Baltic, Bothnian Bay and Bothnian Sea), megrims (North Sea and West of Scotland), Norway lobster (Skagerrak and Kattegatt, North Sea, West of Scotland), plaice (North Sea),
saithe (North Sea, West of Scotland), sprat (Baltic Sea), spurdog (all areas) and whiting (Celtic Sea).
"This was particularly the case for seagrass meadows that contained juvenile fish of at least 10 commercially important species (cod, pollock, whiting, bass, mullet, bass, plaice,
saithe, bib and brill)."
Skaregg will strengthen Aker Seafoods' ability to optimise existing and future quota rights and thereby increase its harvesting of
saithe and haddock, CEO Yngve Myhre said.
Coop
saithe or salmon fillets and shrimp were offered at three packs at approximately one third the normal price as well.
There have been problems with skate." And David Ordley, of the National Federation of Fish Fryers, said: "Other fish taste more like cod - hoki,
saithe and pollock."
Firm-fleshed, medium sized
saithe (coley) is the species currently available in the largest tonnage and there are good supplies of cod and haddock.
