Below is a National Statistics publication. This notice provides an overview of the reported weight and value of landings by UK vessels into the UK and abroad, and by foreign vessels into the UK. Data are used to provide analysis and evidence to researchers and the media and to respond to ad-hoc requests from fishers, other fishing organisations and the general public. They are also used to formulate and monitor fishing policy for fisheries administrations.
This data is provisional and represents the best available data the MMO holds on fishing activity by the UK fleet and into the UK. Data will be revised each month and lags will be reviewed following protocol documented here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/fishing-activity-and-landings-data-collection-and-processing.
Please note, the monthly data in these reports for tables 1 to 7 represent a 'snapshot' at the time of release, therefore the totals may not align with the latest published 'underlying dataset', which is downloaded from our 'live' database and presented alongside the monthly reports.
The raw data that feeds into this publication is equivalent to the data used to produce our regular national statistics and is processed and collected as outlined above.
