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.
this solitary scallop comes complete with a rooftop garden...
while the Padstow netter filled a good number of boxes with a big shot of ray...
the Millennia stole the show with these John Dory...
that top bass man Cap'n Cod ices up his latest efforts...
specimen tub gurnard would make a fantastic tabletop feast in any fine-dining establishment...
signs of things moving from the red into the black on the grounds...
meaty mullet...
there's still a smattering of mackerel around the coast for the inshore punts handlining for them...
an article in the Guardian talks about conger eels being wiped out by trawling as there are very few landed these days - this is not quite as it seems - trawlers go out of their way to avoid the kind of ground that congers inhabit - rocks and wrecks - and as the main fishing method used to catch congers - longlining - is no longer practised by any boats in the south west, consequently, none are landed other than the odd box or two picked up by boats fishing near to wrecks or patches of hard ground...
if you are lucky these cracking inshore red mullet destined for a restaurant near you maybe...
at the other end of the market hake from the netters Ajax and Britannia V should make good money...
there's never a shortage of running water on the decks of a fishing boat...
almost time for the Ajax to sail...
while fishing TV's latest star of The Catch, Govenek of Ladram takes ice...
a good day to be out on the water...
as Rescue 192 makes a flypast over Newlyn, a sight that will soon be part of history as RNAS Culdrose hand over SAR duties to Bristows and a new fleet of rescue helicopters comes into service...
two men and a boat head for open water...
followed by the Ajax away on the second half of her trip...
nice enough for an end of season sail...
something to show for a morning's work on the pots...
Based on international research vessel data The atlas presents a unique set of abundance data to describe the spatial, depth, size, and temporal distribution of demersal and pelagic fish species over an extensive marine area, together with accounts of their biology. A large number of pictures, graphs and distribution maps illustrate the text. By largely avoiding - or at least explaining - scientific terms and providing extensive references, the book should be useful for both laymen and scientists. The quantitative information on some 200 fish taxa is derived from 72,000 stations fished by research vessels during the period 1977-2013. The area covers the northwest European shelf from the west of Ireland to the central Baltic Sea and from Brittany to the Shetlands.
Although the surveys extend beyond the shelf edge, only taxa reported at least once in waters less than 200 m are included. Typical deep-water species and typical fresh-water species are excluded. We hope this publication will contribute to gaining a better understanding of the ocean ecosystems. The Fish Atlas of the Celtic Sea, North Sea, and Baltic Sea contains: An in-depth reference work on marine fish, this is the first complete overview of all marine fish species found in the North Sea, Baltic Sea, and Celtic Sea. Whereas European research mainly focuses on species of commercial interest, this atlas documents current data of all Western European fish species caught in the period 1977 to 2013.
