Initial Allocation - that is the tonnage quota share received by the Scottish 10mu non-sector following allocation of the UK's share of fishing quota opportunities.

Gifted Quota - The tonnage transferred to the Scottish Government (for 10mu non-sector vessels) from vessels in order to comply with the economic link licence condition.

Final Landings - 10mu non-sector vessels landed of each species in the calendar year.

To note: final landings may exceed sum of the initial allocation and gifted quota. This is because the Scottish Government acting on behalf of the non-sector 10 mu group is permitted to complete quota swaps to add or subtract to the group’s total holding.
