• Assessing the impact of buffer towing on the quality of Northeast Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) caught with a bottom trawl 

      Brinkhof, Jesse; Larsen, Roger B.; Herrmann, Bent; Olsen, Stein Harris (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-28)
      The dense aggregations of Northeast Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the Barents Sea have led to a new fishing practice termed “buffer towing.” In this fishery, many trawlers redeploy the trawl directly after taking the catch onboard in an attempt to secure a continuous supply of fish and avoid any unnecessary stops during processing. If the approximate desired amount of fish is caught or exceeded ...

      The overall goal for CRISP (WP 5) is to contribute to, and develop, the competitive power of the trawling fleet by implement new technology and knowledge. The focus is on the processing, from when the fish is in the trawl at the seabed until the processed and finished raw material is packed and in storage.
    • The Effect of Buffer Towing on Quality Aspects of Frozen and Thawed Atlantic Cod (Gadus Morhua) 

      Esaiassen, Margrethe; Jensen, Tonje Kristin; Eilertsen, Venil T.; Larsen, Roger B.; Olsen, Stein Harris; Tobiassen, Torbjørn Inge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-16)
      A large part of the Northeast Atlantic cod caught with trawls is landed frozen, processed, and sold thawed. Many trawlers have adapted a fishing practice termed ‘buffer towing’, causing probability for poor exsanguination and fillet redness. Here, the effect of buffer towing upon color and hemoglobin concentration in cod loin section is studied, and the development of TVB-N during chilled storage ...
    • Effect of the T90-codend on the catch quality of cod (Gadus morhua) compared to the conventional codend configuration in the Barents Sea bottom trawl fishery 

      Jensen, Tonje Kristin; Brinkhof, Jesse; Lindberg, Stein-Kato; Tobiassen, Torbjørn Inge; Heia, Karsten; Olsen, Stein Harris; Larsen, Roger B.; Esaiassen, Margrethe (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-18)
      The aim of this study was to compare the catch quality of Northeast Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the Barents Sea bottom trawl fishery caught using the conventional configuration (a sorting grid followed by a diamond mesh (T0) codend) and a T90° turned mesh codend (T90) without a grid. Twenty hauls were conducted, consisting of 10 hauls with the conventional configuration and 10 hauls with the ...
    • Kvalitetsutfordringer på stor snurrevadtorsk - årsaker og mulige tiltak 

      Tobiassen, Torbjørn Inge; Joensen, Sjúrður; Kristoffersen, Silje; Martinsen, Gustav; Hansen, Kristin Beate; Olsen, Stein Harris; Esaiassen, Margrethe (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2024-01-22)
      Stor snurrevadfanget fisk har andre typer skader enn fisk som er fanget med andre redskap, eksempelvis garn. Målsettingen med arbeidet som presenteres her var å kartlegge type og omfanget av skader på stor snurrevadfanget torsk, samt finne årsakene til slike skader. Det synes å bli flere innvendige skader på snurrevadfanget fisk, slik som knekt rygg og bloduttredelser nær svømmeblæra. Disse ...

    • Recovery from exhaustive swimming and its effect on fillet quality in haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) 

      Karlsson-Drangsholt, Anders; Svalheim, Ragnhild Aven; Aas-Hansen, Øyvind; Olsen, Stein Harris; Midling, Kjell Øivind; Breen, Michael; Grimsbø, Endre; Johnsen, Helge K. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-08)
      Wild haddock (<i>Melanogrammus aeglefinus</i>) of commercial size (0.8–2.49 kg, 45–60 cm) were swum to exhaustion in a large swim tunnel and then allowed to recuperate for 0, 3 or 6 h, to investigate the effects of exhaustive swimming on blood glucose, blood lactate and post mortem development of fillet quality. There was a positive linear relationship between critical (aerobic) swimming speed ...
    • Sequential codend improves quality of trawlcaught cod 

      Brinkhof, Jesse; Olsen, Stein Harris; Ingólfsson, Ólafur Arnar; Herrmann, Bent; Larsen, Roger B. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-10)
      Trawl-caught fish are frequently associated with deteriorated catch quality. This study presents a new dual sequential codend concept with the aim of improving the quality of trawl-caught fish by minimizing the frequency and severity of catch damage. During towing, the fish are retained in an anterior codend segment with the legislated mesh size. A quality improving codend segment, is attached to ...
    • Simulated trawling: Exhaustive swimming followed by extreme crowding as contributing reasons to variable fillet quality in trawl-caught Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) 

      Svalheim, Ragnhild Aven; Aas-Hansen, Øyvind; Heia, Karsten; Drangsholt-Karlsson, Anders; Olsen, Stein Harris; Johnsen, Helge K. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018-07-19)
      Trawl-caught Atlantic cod (<i>Gadus morhua</i>) often yield high variable fillet quality potentially related to capture stress. To investigate mechanisms involved in causing variable quality, commercial-sized (size 3.5±0.9 kg) Atlantic cod were swum to exhaustion in a large swim tunnel and exposed to extreme crowding (736±50 kg m3) for 0, 1 or 3 hours in an experimental cod-end. Further, fish were ...
    • Slakting av oppdrettslaks på båt, direkte fra oppdrettsmerd

      <p>Hovedmålet med prosjektet var å teste avliving og bløgging på båt, direkte fra oppdrettsmerd, i nær full industriell skala og danne grunnlag for omlegging av all slakting ved Marine Harvest, region sør. Del 1 av dette prosjektet ble gjennomført i februar 2007 på brønnbåten ”B/B Tauranga”. Hovedmålet var å evaluere bruk av mammutpumpe, bedøving, bløgging, avliving og transport av oppdrettslaks ...
