Monthly UK Sea Fisheries Statistics - Reported Landings:

March 2015

Key points

The total quantity of reported landings by the UK fleet so far for January to March 2015 was 187 thousand tonnes, 17 per cent lower than in the same period in 2014.

This year’s catch is dominated by the winter mackerel fishery, which

accounts for more than half of all fish landed by the UK fleet. Poor weather and lower market prices meant a slow start for the fishery. As expected, March catches have tailed off dramatically and landings so far are 23 per cent lower than last year. Fishermen may have chosen to pursue the autumn mackerel fishery instead, when the fish tend to be larger and prices potentially higher. Some fishermen may also be assessing the impact of the new EU landings obligation, or discard ban, on pelagic fish before targeting this species. Despite the fall, landings of mackerel are expected to be considerably higher than they were in years prior to 2014 because of the large increases in quota.

Variable weather and sometimes the availability of alternative fisheries can

clearly affect other catches too. For instance, landings by the UK fleet of herring, nephrops, pollack and sole fell by large amounts in the first quarter. Catches of these species are restricted by quotas. Because the UK aims to maximise its fishing opportunities, working within these limits means that lower landings early in the year would probably be balanced by higher landings later in the year. Landings of crabs, which are subject to limits on the time spent fishing, fell by a quarter. In 2014, there was a lot of crabbing activity in the first quarter but the imposition of annual days at sea limits in 2015 should see a more even catch distribution across the year.

Average prices obtained by the UK fleet for demersal, pelagic and shellfish fell by 5, 31 and 2 per cent respectively in the first quarter of 2015. This equates to a 13 per cent fall for all species.

In January to March 2015, the UK fleet landed 41 thousand tonnes into Peterhead. This is almost three times the quantity landed into Lerwick, the second highest port in terms of landings. Brixham, with 3,100 tonnes of fish worth £5.6 million, had the highest landings in England.

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 2014 and for 2015 to date. 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. Recently we included a new table (Table 11) which provides a monthly breakdown of landings for 2014 and the year-to-date for 2015. Excel versions of Tables 1 to 11 are available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/monthly-sea-fisheries-statistics-February-2015 Also available at the above address is an Excel file containing the data for 2015. 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 in Table 6. The dataset for 2014 can be found with the December 2014 publication at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/monthly-sea-fisheries-statistics-December-2014 The contents of the monthly statistical report have recently been revised following a user consultation in early 2014 and a review is available at:

iv

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/review-of-monthly-statistics-2014 There will be another consultation on the new-look report later in the 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. In particular, please feedback your views on the new Table 11. Contact details are: Statistician: Guy Ellis Email: statistics@marinemanagement.org.uk Telephone: 020 7979 8532 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. Other species will follow in later years. 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.

v

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. 2015 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 in the monthly return for the previous year, 2014, will be based on those published in the December 2014 return. These will be updated with revised 2014

figures once UK Sea Fisheries Statistics 2014 is published in September. All figures

are therefore 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. For 2014 landings into the UK by UK vessels, the first estimates of cumulative figures for total fish landed were around 1 per cent lower than the final figures. For the current month figures, the first estimates were around 5 per cent lower and the second estimates around 1 per cent lower. Figures for the current year will be more affected by lags in getting data finalised on our systems. Comparisons between 2014 and 2015 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 landing 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.

the structure of the UK fishing fleet and the number of fishermen (Chapter 2)

effort (kW days fished) in the cod and sole recovery zones and Western Waters (Chapter 2)

UK landings and quota uptake by EU member states (Chapter 3). Note that Monthly figures are published in Table 3.13

imports and exports (Chapter 4)

main stocks and their level of exploitation (Chapter 5)

the size and activity of the world fishing industry (Chapter 6) Most recent editions are available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/uk-sea-fisheries-annual-statistics An archive of older versions is available at: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20140507202222/http://www.marinemanagement.org.uk/fisheries/statistics/annual_archive.htm Chapter 3 reports on landings statistics for the most recent five year period. Landings are broken down into more detail including fishing gear used, sea area of capture, foreign country of landing and foreign vessel nationality.

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.

vii

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. The calculation of average prices excludes landings with zero value to better reflect the price of the fish.

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

Channel Islands. 6. 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 2013.

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

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

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