(1) Main species are those where the quantity landed into Scottish districts was 20 tonnes or over in 2010. Some 2010 figures have been revised downwards due to double counting arising from duplicated records in the vessel file Subsequent to the publication of the 2010 bulletin it was discovered that the value of Cockles landings in 2010 had been incorrectly overstated.
