(1) Includes NS Herring (IVa & IVb) and NS Herring (IVc).

(2) Includes NS Mackerel (IVa) and NS Mackerel (IVb & IVc).

The 2007 to 2010 West of Scotland Cod and Haddock figures have been revised due to double counting; the 2010 West of Scotland herring figure did not include landings in IVb; the 2010 North Sea Mackerel and West of Scotland Mackerel figures have been revised because the former was overstated and the latter understated.
