(1) Main species are those where the total value landed into the UK or by UK vessels abroad was £2m or more in 2013.
(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) Because no Sales Notes were received for mackerel landed by Scottish vessels into Norway, the value of these landings were estimated for 2009 - see discussion in in Annex 1 - Methodology for further details. We assess that the estimated figure of £55million is overstated by some £7million
