The table below reports the landings of North Sea mackerel by Scottish 10m and under 'pool' vessels in 2024.

Landings are divided by group, based on the port of administration of each vessel - see the Scottish Quota Management Rules for more details. Unless stated, all figures are in tonnes.

Several swaps of NS mackerel have been completed. These amounts have been deducted from the "pot". Acquired were stocks in order to extend fisheries (cod and haddock) or to cover minor by-catches (sole and turbot).
