Monthly UK Sea Fisheries Statistics - Reported Landings: July 2018
Key points
The total quantity of reported landings by our fleet in January to July 2018 was 371 thousand tonnes live weight. This is 8 per cent lower than in 2017. The value of fish sold was £465 million, 12 per cent lower than last year.
48 thousand tonnes were landed by the UK fleet in July. Landings abroad accounted for 11 thousand tonnes. Of the 37 thousand tonnes landed into the UK, 11 per cent was caught by the 10 metre and under fleet. The large majority of this was for non-quota shellfish, with crabs being the dominant species.
The summer herring season is well under way with 18 thousand tonnes landed by the UK fleet in July averaging £0.48 per kilo. More than half of this was landed into Peterhead and Lerwick.
4,200 tonnes of nephrops were also landed in July (£12.2 million) as well as 3,800 tonnes of crabs (£7.2 million) and 3,000 tonnes of haddock (£4.4 million).
UK Sea Fisheries Statistics 2017 was published yesterday and this report and the data sets include updated figures for 2014 to 2017.
As previously reported, owing to problems experienced by Marine Scotland, figures for landings into the UK by foreign vessels are incomplete. In order to avoid any possible confusion in interpretation, we have excluded all landings by the foreign fleet from 2018 onwards. Figures in Tables 8 and 9, as well as for the final two columns in Table 11, are therefore not provided.
The largest landings into the UK in July were for Peterhead (12,500 tonnes, £11.3 million) followed by Lerwick (3,900 tonnes, £2.7 million). Leigh-on-Sea received the highest landings in England (1,200 tonnes of cockles worth £0.7 million) and Brixham the highest value (850 tonnes, £2.6 million).

Background This is an Official Statistics publication. This notice provides an overview of the reported weight and value of landings by UK vessels into the UK and abroad, and by foreign vessels into the UK. Data are collected under EU legislation which controls fishing activity by setting limits in two key areas:
(i) Fish quotas - limits on the amount of fish that can be landed related to the species of fish and area of activity.
(ii) Fishing effort – limits in terms of the effort that can exerted, usually in terms of days at sea combined with a measure of the catching capacity such as engine power.
The underlying data used to produce this report are also used to provide the EU with monthly reports on uptake against our allocated annual limits. Analysis of quota uptake for other member states allows fisheries administrations to identify opportunities for international quota swaps. Data are also used to monitor uptake on a weekly basis for the fishing industry. Fish Producer Organisations are provided with a report on their landings for validation and they use the weekly statistics to arrange domestic quota swaps. Data are used to provide analysis and evidence to researchers and the media and to respond to ad-hoc requests from fishermen, other fishing organisations and the general public. They are also used to formulate and monitor fishing policy for fisheries administrations. Excel versions of Tables 1 to 11 are available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/monthly-sea-fisheries-statistics-July-2018 Also available at the above address is an Excel file containing the data for 2014 to 2018. This includes variables covering month, species, port of landing, vessel length and nationality and the weight and value of the landed fish. Users can use the Excel filters to select, for example, landings into a specific port. Alternatively, users could produce tables (using, for example, the pivot table function). For illustrative purposes, a specimen pivot table showing landings by the UK fleet by port of landing nationality is included within the spreadsheet. You will see, for example, that the total landings by UK vessels matches that shown in Tables 3, 6 and 11. A review of a user consultation in 2014 is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/review-of-monthly-statistics-2014 We welcome any further comments or suggestions on this release.

Statistician: Guy Ellis Email: [email protected] Telephone: 020 8026 4400 A methodology note on data collection, coverage, processing and revisions is available at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/fishing-activity-and-landings-data-collection-and-processing Key issues follow. Data coverage Data relate to reported landings of commercial fishing by UK vessels and by foreign vessels landing into the UK. Data are only included once fully validated. Data include figures for the Isle of Man fleet and landings by some of the larger Channel Islands’ vessels. Relatively small amounts of landings by the remainder of the Channel Islands’ fleet – accounting for less than one tenth of one per cent of all landings - are not included here, although they are included in the weekly statistics used for quota management. Landings do not typically equal total catches as many species can be discarded. Discarding could occur in cases where fishermen accidently catch fish for which they did not have quota, catch damaged or less profitable fish, or catch undersized fish which they could not sell. The degree of discarding varies by stock and by the sector involved. The EU's new landing obligation, being phased in from 2015 onwards, is intended to end the discarding of marketable fish. As of 1 January 2015, the landing obligation has been in force for pelagic and industrial fishing. A number of demersal species have followed since 2016 and the remaining species covered by quota stocks will be included by 2019. Despite legal obligations for fish catches to be declared, a proportion of fishing activity remains unreported. A joint study in 2009 estimated that between 2000 and 2003, illegal fishing amounted to between 5 and 13 per cent of reported catches. It is thought that overall level of unreported landings has reduced in recent years following a requirement for buyers and sellers to be registered and the implementation of new EU regulations. But the extent of illegal and unreported fishing by UK vessels is still uncertain and will vary across species. Discarded fish and illegal/unreported landings are excluded from the report. And so the figures presented should not be interpreted as total removals from the sea; the figures are the reported landings. More details are in the methodology note. Although figures for the latest month are published almost two months in arrears, some data may still be excluded from the report giving rise to revisions in later months. This is dealt with in the next section.
Revisions Policy Data are based on landings which have been fully validated. Data are based on the latest available figures from fisheries administrations’ data systems and will be subject to three main sources of revision:
(i) Receipt of additional data
(ii) Revisions to data
(iii) Correction of data processing errors
Figures for 2013 to 2017 are based on those published in UK Sea Fisheries Statistics 2017 on 27 September 2018. Figures for 2014 to 2017 will be updated next year in Sea Fisheries Statistics 2018 and so they, as well as those for 2018, should be treated as provisional. More details on revisions are included in the methodology note. In particular, it includes new analyses of data revisions/lags for cumulative ‘year-to-date’ figures and for the ‘current month’ figures. ‘Revisions triangles’ are provided for different types of landing and show how landings for each month from January 2014 onwards have been revised over time. The changes are reflected in the revisions triangles. Statistics on landings are presented in two main forms – either landings in the individual latest month the release relates to, where statistics are being published for the first time, or the cumulative period for the year so far, i.e. from January to the latest month, which will include any revisions to the data for each month. The impact of revisions to data for both the cumulative and individual monthly data series for 2016 have been analysed and the results are available within the data revisions section of the methodology note. In summary, the results of the analysis indicate that the first time a cumulative ‘year-to-date’ figure is published, the tonnage recorded is typically around 1 per cent lower than the final figure. For landings data for an individual month, the estimate of total landings by UK vessels into the UK - when published for the first time - is generally around 3 per cent lower than the final figure. So, for example, figures published this month for July 2018 landings by UK vessels into the UK may be around 3 per cent lower than the actual final figure for that month. This rises to around 6 per cent for UK vessels landing into the UK and abroad. The bulk of the lag in data for any individual month is incorporated within the first revision to the data for that month. So when we update July 2018 figures this time next month, we expect the revised figure for UK vessels landing into the UK to be around 1 per cent lower than the final figure, rising to 3 per cent for all UK fleet landings. Figures for the current year will be more affected by lags in getting data finalised on our systems. Comparisons between earlier years should therefore be made with care. These lags will vary between species groups and type of landing. For instance, UK vessels’ landings abroad and foreign vessels’ landings into the UK have larger revisions, especially for shellfish and demersal landings. Data entry for these trips
can be more complicated and fully validating the data can sometimes take longer. Also, many shellfish species are not affected by quota and effort management and have a lower priority in terms of data entry. However, the tonnage involved in these demersal and shellfish trips is relatively small compared with overall landings.
The methodology note highlights the steps being taken by MMO to improve the reporting of electronic data. We are also considering the benefits and risks involved in using data that have not passed the full set of validation checks. UK Sea Fisheries Statistics We published our annual statistical report on 27 September 2018. It includes a broader range of information on:
the structure of the UK fishing fleet and the number of fishermen (Chapter 2)
effort (kW days fished) in the cod and sole recovery zones and Western Waters (Chapter 2)
UK landings and quota uptake by EU member states (Chapter 3). Note that monthly figures are published in Table 3.13
imports and exports (Chapter 4)
main stocks and their level of exploitation (Chapter 5)
the size and activity of the world fishing industry (Chapter 6) Most recent editions are available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/uk-sea-fisheries-annual-statistics and an archive of older versions is available at: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20140507202222/http://www.marinemanagement.org.uk/fisheries/statistics/annual_archive.htm Chapter 3 reports on landings statistics for the most recent five year period. Landings are broken down into more detail including fishing gear used, sea area of capture, foreign country of landing and foreign vessel nationality.

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-sea-fisheries-annual-statistics-report-2017 A user consultation on the annual publication was carried out in May 2016 and an analysis of its findings is available with the 2014 annual report. A user consultation is also included in this year’s report.
Explanatory Notes
1. Quantities in the tables and charts are shown in terms of the live weight of the fish landed. Landed weight is also provided in the on-line dataset.
2. The values shown are based on information from first-hand sales of fish to all outlets, i.e. for human consumption as well as other uses, such as fishmeal and animal feed.
3. Average prices are based on the live weight of the fish. 4. The calculation of average prices excludes landings with zero value to better
reflect the price of the fish. 5. The category ‘other demersal’ includes fish roes and livers. 6. Landings into England in Table 7a exclude data for the Isle of Man and the
Channel Islands. 7. The individual ports reported in this publication represent those ports which
were identified as the top 20 UK ports in terms of quantity landed or the top 20 UK ports in terms of value of landings, in the annual publication - UK Sea Fisheries Statistics 2016.
8. Details on data collection, coverage, processing and revisions can be found in the methodology note.

1. As reported in previous releases, owing to problems experienced by Marine Scotland as part of the upgrade to their data
processing systems, figures for landings into the UK by foreign vessels are incomplete. In order to avoid any possible
confusion in interpretation we have decided to exclude all landings by the foreign fleet in 2018 from the release.
