Provisional Results

Monthly UK Sea Fisheries Statistics - Reported Landings: June 2016

Key points

The total quantity of reported landings by the UK fleet so far for January to June 2016 was 309 thousand tonnes, 2 per cent higher than over the same period last year. The value of fish sold was £372 million, 7 per cent more than in 2015. Because of lags in data entry, we expect the final 2016 figures to be higher still and so the actual percentage increases may be slightly larger than those shown above.

June’s landings of 30,600 tonnes comprised 14,700 tonnes of demersal fish and 12,700 tonnes of shellfish. The herring season starts in June and 3,100 tonnes were landed.

In June, 3,000 tonnes of haddock worth £3.8 million and 2,600 tonnes of cod worth £3.1 million were landed by the UK fleet. Of the two species, cod achieved the highest average price of £1.97 per kilo compared with £1.33 for haddock. Bass is still the most expensive white fish – £9.59 per kilo – which may be down to a reduction in supply arising from EU imposed catch limits. Sole is a close second at £9.18 per kilo.

In terms of shellfish, key landings were 4,100 tonnes of nephrops, or langoustines, (£12.3 million, £2.96 per kilo), 2,800 tonnes of whelks (£2.8 million, £1.01 per kilo) and 2,700 tonnes of crabs for £3.7 million or £1.35 per kilo. Lobster, at £9.74 per kilo, was the most expensive fish at market.

Variable weather, lack of fish or the availability of alternative fisheries can affect catches. Changes in quota can clearly affect the amount of fish caught, while landings for species such as crabs and scallops will be affected by changes in the limits placed on days that can be spent fishing. The UK aims to maximise its fishing opportunities and so working within these limits means, for example, that higher landings early in the year may be balanced by lower landings later in the year. In 2016, a number of demersal species are now subject to a landing obligation (or discard ban). To facilitate this, additional quota has been granted and so increased landings may be seen for these stocks.

In January to June 2016, the UK fleet landed 64 and 21 thousand tonnes of mostly mackerel into Peterhead and Lerwick respectively. However, as we are outside the main mackerel season, the amount landed in recent months for these ports was relatively low. In England, the largest amounts were landed into Newlyn (5,900 tonnes at £13.2 million) and Brixham (5,600 tonnes at £12.7 million).

Background This is an Official Statistics publication. This notice provides an overview of the reported weight and value of landings by UK vessels into the UK and abroad, and by foreign vessels into the UK. It provides provisional figures for 2015 and 2016. Data are collected under EU legislation which controls fishing activity by setting limits in two key areas:

(i) Fish quotas - limits on the amount of fish that can be landed related to the species of fish and area of activity.

(ii) Fishing effort – limits in terms of the effort that can exerted, usually in terms of days at sea combined with a measure of the catching capacity such as engine power.

The underlying data used to produce this report are also used to provide the EU with monthly reports on uptake against our allocated annual limits. Analysis of quota uptake for other member states allows fisheries administrations to identify opportunities for international quota swaps. Data are also used to monitor uptake on a weekly basis for the fishing industry. Fish Producer Organisations are provided with a report on their landings for validation and they use the weekly statistics to arrange domestic quota swaps. Data are used to provide analysis and evidence to researchers and the media and to respond to ad-hoc requests from fishermen, other fishing organisations and the general public. They are also used to formulate and monitor fishing policy for fisheries administrations. Excel versions of Tables 1 to 11 are available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/monthly-sea-fisheries-statistics-June-2016 Also available at the above address is an Excel file containing the data for 2014, 2015 and year-to-date figures for 2016. This includes variables covering month, species, port of landing, vessel length and nationality and the weight and value of the landed fish. Users can use the Excel filters to select, for example, landings into a specific port. Alternatively, users could produce tables (using, for example, the pivot table function). For illustrative purposes, a specimen pivot table showing landings by vessel nationality and port of landing nationality is included within the spreadsheet. You will see, for example, that the total landings by UK vessels matches that shown in Table 6. The contents of the monthly statistical report have recently been revised following a user consultation in early 2014 and a review is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/review-of-monthly-statistics-2014 There will be another consultation on the new-look report later this year. In the meantime, we welcome any further comments or suggestions on this release. Also,

please contact the MMO Statistics team if you have any questions, data requests or comments. Contact details are: Statistician: Guy Ellis Email: [email protected] Telephone: 020 8026 4400 A methodology note on data collection, coverage, processing and revisions is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/monthly-uk-sea-fisheries-statistics#methodology Key issues follow. Data coverage Data relate to reported landings of commercial fishing by UK vessels and by foreign vessels landing into the UK. Data are only included once fully validated. Data include figures for the Isle of Man fleet and landings by some of the larger Channel Islands’ vessels. Relatively small amounts of landings by the remainder of the Channel Islands’ fleet – accounting for less than one tenth of one per cent of all landings - are not included here, although they are included in the weekly statistics used for quota management. Landings do not typically equal total catches as many species can be discarded. Discarding could occur in cases where fishermen accidently catch fish for which they did not have quota, catch damaged or less profitable fish, or catch undersized fish which they could not sell. The degree of discarding varies by stock and by the sector involved. The EU's new landing obligation, being phased in from 2015 onwards, is intended to end the discarding of marketable fish. As of 1 January 2015, the landing obligation has been in force for pelagic and industrial fishing. A number of demersal species followed in 2016 and the remaining species covered by quota stocks will be included by 2019. Despite legal obligations for fish catches to be declared, a proportion of fishing activity remains unreported. A joint study in 2009 estimated that between 2000 and 2003, illegal fishing amounted to between 5 and 13 per cent of reported catches. It is thought that overall level of unreported landings has reduced in recent years following a requirement for buyers and sellers to be registered and the implementation of new EU regulations. But the extent of illegal and unreported fishing by UK vessels is still uncertain and will vary across species. Discarded fish and illegal/unreported landings are excluded from the report. And so the figures presented should not be interpreted as total removals from the sea; the figures are the reported landings. More details are in the methodology note.

Although figures for the latest month are published almost two month in arrears, some data may still be excluded from the report giving rise to revisions in later months. This is dealt with in the next section. Revisions Policy Data are based on landings which have been fully validated. 2016 data are based on the latest available figures from fisheries administrations’ data systems and will be subject to three main sources of revision:

(i) Receipt of additional data

(ii) Revisions to data

(iii) Correction of data processing errors

Also, the introduction of the electronic reporting system has led to some pressure on data entry within the year as some skippers struggle to complete the new electronic forms. While this is unlikely to affect figures in the annual publication, it will have had an adverse effect on lags in monthly data reporting. Figures for 2014 are based on those published in UK Sea Fisheries Statistics 2014 on 24 September 2015. Figures for 2014 and 2015 will be updated in Sea Fisheries Statistics 2015 and so they, as well as those for 2016, should be treated as provisional. More details on revisions are included in the methodology note. In particular, it includes new analyses of data revisions/lags for cumulative ‘year-to-date’ figures and for the ‘current month’ figures. ‘Revisions triangles’ are provided for different types of landing and show how landings for each month from January 2014 have been revised over time. Statistics on landings are presented in two main forms – either landings in the individual latest month the release relates to, where statistics are being published for the first time, or the cumulative period for the year so far, i.e. from January to the latest month, which will include any revisions to the data for each month. The impact of revisions to data for both the cumulative and individual monthly data series for 2014 has been analysed and the results are available within the data revisions section of the methodology note. In summary, the results of the 2014 analysis indicate that the first time a cumulative ‘year-to-date’ figure is published, the tonnage recorded is typically around 1 per cent lower than the final figure. For landings data for an individual month, the estimate of total landings by UK vessels into the UK - when published for the first time - is generally around 5 per cent lower than the final figure. So June 2016 landings by UK vessels into the UK may be around 5 per cent lower than the actual final figure for that month. The bulk of the lag in data for any individual month is incorporated within the first revision to the data for that month. So when we update the June 2016 figures in the dataset this time next month, we expect the revised figure to be around 1 per cent lower than the final figure.


https://www.gov.uk/fishing-activity-and-landings-data-collection-and-processing#data-revisions-policy

Figures for the current year will be more affected by lags in getting data finalised on our systems. Comparisons between 2015 and 2016 should therefore be made with care. These lags will vary between species groups and type of landing. For instance, UK vessels’ landings abroad and foreign vessels’ landings into the UK have larger revisions, especially for shellfish and demersal landings. Data entry for these trips can be more complicated and fully validating the data can sometimes take longer. Also, many shellfish species are not affected by quota and effort management and have a lower priority in terms of data entry. However, the tonnage involved in these demersal and shellfish trips is relatively small compared with overall landings.

The methodology note highlights the steps being taken by MMO to improve the reporting of electronic data. We are also considering the benefits and risks involved in using data that have not passed the full set of validation checks.

Explanatory Notes

1. Quantities in the tables and charts are shown in terms of the live weight of the fish landed. Landed weight is also provided in the on-line dataset.

2. The values shown are based on information from first-hand sales of fish to all outlets, i.e. for human consumption as well as other uses, such as fishmeal and animal feed.

3. Average prices are based on the live weight of the fish. 4. The calculation of average prices excludes landings with zero value to better

reflect the price of the fish. 5. The category ‘other demersal’ includes fish roes and livers. 6. Landings into England in Table 7a exclude data for the Isle of Man and the

Channel Islands. 7. The individual ports reported in this publication represent those ports which

were identified as the top 20 UK ports in terms of quantity landed or the top 20 UK ports in terms of value of landings, in the annual publication - UK Sea Fisheries Statistics 2014.

8. Details on data collection, coverage, processing and revisions can be found in the methodology note.

9. The following symbols apply throughout: - means “nil”

.. means “negligible” (less than half the last digit shown) n/a means “not applicable”
