3 Values are based on 2021 prices and percentage changes reflect real changes after adjusting for inflation. The deflator applied can be found here: GDP deflators at market prices, and money GDP June 2022 (Quarterly National Accounts) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

4 Percentages are based on unrounded data and may differ from calculations using rounded data in tables.

5 Values may not sum to their respective totals due to rounding.

6 The values in Table 30c. Scottish vessels’ landings by gear type are slightly lower than Table 8, because some Nephrops are also caught by demersal gear types. Other species may also be effected by this.

7 Values are based on 2021 prices and percentage changes reflect real changes after adjusting for inflation. The deflator applied can be found here: GDP deflators at market prices, and money GDP June 2022 (Quarterly National Accounts) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

10 Landings can exceed quota if POs or vessels ‘carry over’ some quota from a previous year into the next year, within agreed limits. There is also an allowance so that a country can exceed up to ten per cent of its quota on a particular stock and the excess is deducted from the following year’s quota allocation.

11 ICES is the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea.

12 Figures for the Scottish labour force come from the Annual Population Survey 2021 by ONS.
