UK fleet landings and foreign fleet landings into the UK by port 2015

Monthly sea fisheries statistics 2015

Abstract

This data set provides summaries of fishing activity for UK commercial fishing vessels landing into the UK and abroad as well as foreign registered commercial fishing vessels landing into the UK, that are deemed to have been fishing within a specified calendar year. These summaries have been aggregated by month of landing, the port of landing and the length group of the vessel. For each aggregation level the quantity (tonnes) of live weight fish landed, the actual landed weight (tonnes) and value (sterling) of live weight fish landed are given for specific species, with the remaining species combined into a composite group based on the species group they are classified to.

Quality and validity

Lineage

Data on fishing activity are taken from the IFISH data system. This is a UK repository of key elements of the administrative data commercial fishermen are required to report under EU legislation to enable competent authorities to monitor and manage their activity. There are three key sources of data â?? the logbook of activity while at sea, the landing declaration recording the accurate weight of fish when landed, and sales notes created when the fish are first sold after landing. The first two of these are required from all fishermen operating vessels over 10 metres overall length, the sales notes information is required for sales by all licensed vessels irrespective of length. The data includes the species, weight and value of fish landed along with details of the vessel involved, where the fish was caught, and with what gear. These data are collected by the four fisheries administrations within the UK, checked and validated and collated into the IFISH repository holding full UK data on licensed commercial fishing activity.
