(1) Main species are those where the quantity landed into Scottish districts was 20 tonnes or over in 2013. Subsequent to the publication of the 2010 bulletin it was discovered that the value of Cockles landings in 2010 had been incorrectly overstated. The other shellfish figure has been revised downwards accordingly.
