Annual statistics for commercial fishing activity by UK registered fishing vessels for the year indicated. Previously this dataset was provided separately as Fish Landings to UK Ports (All Vessels) and Fish Landings to UK Ports (by Vessel Length) but from 2012 it is now a combined dataset.
Statistics are provided for the North East Atlantic (FAO Major Area 27) by port of landing by fishing gear and vessel length on:
Landings by live weight (tonnes),
Landings by value (pounds sterling),
Time spent fishing (days),
Number of vessels (this information may be omitted from published versions).
Gear types are shown at the level of the International Standard Statistical Classification of Fishing Gear (ISSCFG) and also aggregated into different groups to allow analysis at different levels.
Vessel lengths are aggregated as follows:
All Vessels (this is the sum total of all the vessel lengths),
Less than or equal to 10m,
More than 10m to 12m,
More than 12m to less than 15m,
More than or equal to 15m.
This dataset is derived for the MMO Annual Sea Fisheries Statistic Publication.
