We recently attended the Catch Welfare Platform with Shellfish Association of GB Seafish NFFO to explore practical solutions to improve animal welfare in fishing & seafood. #CWP23 brought together researchers, fisheries, tech business, Governments & NGOs. #WelfareSolutions #CodesOfPractice

At Macduff, we believe that humane treatment of decapod crustacea is important. That's why we're involved in the development of Codes of Practice for decapod welfare. #AnimalWelfare #Crustacea #Welfare #Crab #Lobster

Happy World Ocean Day! We're pleased to be part of the drive for improved management & sustainable fisheries. We support MSC in the UK's Fishery Improvement Projects & we're involved in developing the King Scallop Fisheries Management Plan & the Crab & Lobster FMP. #WorldOceanDay

Claire Pescod of Macduff Shellfish is speaking next at our #FishingAndFMPs event. She’s sharing insights into the progress of the King Scallop #FMP & key themes emerging from stakeholder engagement. Sustainability was identified as a priority, & co-management was seen positively.

Seafood businesses, government and NGOs will be invited to feed into the creation of best practice guidance for handling and despatch of live crustacea.

We're thinking holistically with #TaketheBait - working on a solution to plastic pollution in the ocean, whilst also designing a more practical, efficient bait bag for whelk fishermen. #Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. Bangor University Sea Trust

Inshore Scottish waters provide the perfect environment for #langoustine to thrive! With a soft, meaty texture these versatile shellfish cook in minutes and are packed full of nutrients harvested from Scotland's mineral-rich waters.

Project UK is a collaborative partnership working towards an environmentally sustainable future for UK fisheries through the implementation of credible FIPS. We’re very proud to facilitate this work with all partners that are involved. Read our blog here: msc.org/uk/media-centr…

Incredible research is happening behind the scenes as part of our #TaketheBait project. A team of specialists at Bangor University have explored how bait bags used in whelk fishing can be more easily recycled. Sea Trust bit.ly/3BeGdns

We're hiring! As Macduff continues to grow, we are recruiting for General Operative positions at our Mintlaw and Stornoway processing facilities in Scotland.

Langoustines are also closely related to the lobster and are prized for their vibrant orange-pink colouring.

Thank you to the UK UK Seafood Innovation Fund for supporting our #TaketheBait campaign! This fund supports innovative projects that bring new ideas and technology to the UK seafood sector and improve our seafood, fishing and aquaculture industries. Bangor University Sea Trust

Happy World Ocean Day! We're proud to launch an exciting new film for Take the Bait, a collaboration with Bangor University and Sea Trust, supported by fishermen. By working together, we can ensure our solutions to plastic pollution are holistic and effective. #WorldOceanDay

Happy Mother's Day!
