(1) Main species are those where the total value landed into the UK or by UK vessels abroad was £2m or more in 2010.
(2) The methodology used to calculate value of landings was changed by the introduction of the Register of Buyers and Sellers ( RBS) in September 2005 - see discussion in Annex 1 - Methodology for further details.
(3) Subsequent to the publication of the 2010 bulletin it was discovered that the value of Cockles landings in 2010 had been incorrectley overstated; when corrected the value failed to meet the £2m threshold and cockles are no longer distinguished in the tables. The figures have been included in Other shellfish.
Some 2010 figures have been revised downwards due to double counting arising from duplicated records in the vessel file
