Data derived from logbook data provided to the UK fishing authorities as required under EU or national legislation. Data is only derived for UK-registered vessels over 10m in overall length. Data is recorded against ICES statistical rectangles. Scottish seas are defined as those rectangles which intersect Scottish fishery limits defined by the Scottish Adjacent Waters Boundary Order 1999 and where the recorded Exclusive Economic Zone was UK waters. Demersal active gear includes any mobile or towed fishing method in contact with the seabed including trawls, seine nets, and dredges.
