Summary

This data set provides summaries of fishing activity for UK commercial fishing vessels that are deemed to have been fishing within a specified calendar year. These summaries have been aggregated by month of landing, the ICES division and rectangle fishing activity took place in, the length group of the vessel and the gear group used. For each aggregation the quantity (tonnes) of live weight fish landed, the actual landed weight (tonnes) and value (sterling) of live weight fish landed are given for specific species, with the remaining species combined into a composite group based on the species group they are classified to. The gear categories are comprised as follows; beam trawl; pelagic seine; demersal trawl and seine (includes all trawl gears except beam trawl) and all seine gears (except purse seine); dredges; drift and fixed nets; gears using hooks; other mobile gears; other passive gears; and pots and traps. More information on the exact nature of fishing gears can be found at: http://www.fao.org/fishery/topic/1617/en
