Highlights
- The total quantity of landings by UK vessels (tonnes) decreased in February 2025 compared to 2024, down 7%. The value of landings in February 2025 (£56.7m) decreased compared to 2024 down by 16%.
- Landings in February 2025 comprised mostly of Pelagic species (68%). This was driven by high landings of Blue Whiting which is usually a highly targeted fishery between February and April each year. Demersal species comprised the majority of the value landed (39%) due to Demersal species typically fetching a much higher price per tonne compared to Pelagic species.
