PLEASE NOTE:

The codes in the species code column with a superscript, e.g. PDO^! –highlights those species with a fishing year period 1 April – 31 March. Species LFE and SFE have fishstocks LFE13 and SFE13 with a fishing year period 1 February to 31 January.

The reported catch displayed on this page will not appear until after 1 October and will be for the period ending 30 September. For April and February based species the reported catch will not match the TACC period.

If you wish to compare reported catch with the TACC of the same period for any of these species click directly on the required species code or name.
