How useful would this be?

The top Scottish and UK fish market at Peterhead in Scotland uses its web site to inform merchants and other interested parties which vessels are landing on the market with how much fish. Is this something that would help the second biggest fish auction in England inform local buyers, merchants, restaurants, hotels and all the other businesses interested in knowing what types and how much fish is on the market at Newlyn on any given day?


Skipper Peter Bruce aboard the Peterhead seiner Budding Rose thinks so,  "it has been a great benefit not only to the merchants but the fishermen as well."


This morning's landings on Peterhead market - including fish from the pair seine team Budding Rose and Lapwing.
Brixham market also offers a similar service on its web site:
There are two boats due to land at Brixham tomorrow.

Plymouth Fish Market, well aware of just how much fish is exported to European countries even provides their web site in four different languages.......
Newlyn's answer is this dilapidated blackboard at one end of the Fish Market! - although there is information available to CFPO members - but it is password protected and would therefore seem to defeat the purpose.
