Inside a Portuguese vivier lorry

Jersey registered crabber, Pen Y Glas lands to a vivier lorry alongside the fish market......
if you are of a 'Curious Nature', then get along to the newly re-furbished Newlyn Orion Gallery and see their Spring show, running from today till the end of June....
aboard the classic sailboat Aurora, her 'rags' are being neatly stowed after a hard day's sail.....
two cod-ends wait on the quay to be stitched back on the trawls aboard the Sapphire....
the Twilght has relinquished her place on the slip to PZ999, Jannie En Klaas....
showing a bow wave, Katie Clare steams in through the gaps......
on the mini-'boatyard' at the end of the New Quay, another tosher prepares to get a bottom scrub and overhaul.....
landing to a waiting lorry from Trelawney Fish, the George Johannes puts ashore her catch.....
counting the bongos, each containing around 50kgs of fish, as they are hauled aboard the transport.... inside the vivier - both sides of the trailor are lined with stainless-steel tanks through which air is circulated keeping the shellfish alive and kicking on their long journey back to Portugal.....
this is maybe only the second time Portuguese company, Conchamar has taken fish direct from a boat in Newlyn.....
the crabs are taken aboard in 'bongos', made from heavy duty plastic storage drums cut in half - an excellent example of re-cycling in the fishing industry....
still more work on creating the new vivier tanks aboard the Emma Louise.....
up ahead for a bottom scrub, the Shiralee...
