1 Introduction

Scottish Sea Fisheries Statistics is a National Statistics publication produced by the Marine Analytical Unit (MAU) in Marine Scotland to provide detailed information on the Scottish fishing industry. The statistics presented in this publication include the:

  • Tonnage and value of all landings of sea fish and shellfish by Scottish vessels.
  • All landings by any nationality of vessel into Scotland and the rest of the UK.
  • Landings by UK vessels abroad.
  • The size and characteristics of Scottish fishing vessels.
  • Employment on Scottish vessels.

All landing tonnages are given in terms of live weight equivalent. Overall financial values in the publication text are provided in real terms (adjusted for inflation to 2021 prices). Most of the financial values in the supplementary tables are provided in nominal terms (not adjusted for inflation). Year on year percentage changes in financial values are calculated at 2021 prices to adjust for inflation.

All tables presented here and in previous publications are available for download from the Scottish Sea Fisheries Statistics publications section of the Scottish Government website[2].
