Details

Underlying datasets

This year we have published the revised versions of the underlying datasets published last year detailing landings by port 2016 – 2020 as well as landings by rectangle, stock and estimated EEZ 2016 – 2020.

From 2021 we have combined these datasets into a new release – ‘UK fleet landings by rectangle stock port and EEZ 2021’ . There are differences in methodology for producing this new dataset therefore please refer to the metadata tab for details on how to compare these time series.

Pre-release access list

The pre-release access order 2008 restricts who can see official statistics before they’re published. Ministers and officials are provided with early access for the sole purpose of being able to respond completely when questions arise at the time of release. In line with the Release Practices Protocol, early pre-access is provided no earlier than 24 hours before release.
