Welcome to Through the Gaps, the UK fishing industry's most comprehensive information and image resource. Newlyn is England's largest fish market and where over 50 species are regularly landed from handline, trawl, net, ring net and pot vessels including #MSC Certified #Hake, #Cornish Sardine, handlined bass, pollack and mackerel. Art work, graphics and digital fishing industry images available from stock or on commission.
An international team of scientists led by the National Institute of Aquatic Resources at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Aqua) has put the spotlight on the maturing staging of fish and what we can do to ensure standardisation. The creation and implementation of common guidelines, specifically for sprat and herring, would result in standardised guidelines for maturity determination across the globe and would help make fish stock assessments significantly more accurate.

with it's all-important fish filleting property - flexibility......
compared in size to a butcher's cutting knife, bought in 1968 and still in use today (though never ground like butcher's knives are).......
this is what makes a filleting knife different......
a few big fish to try out the knife on courtesy of the Govenek of Ladram......
first, de-scale the haddock (on the right) - fresh scaly fish like haddock and whiting will still have their scales if they are top quality - if the trawler tows the net for too long the fish lose their scales in the cod end which acts like a washing machine!......
