Value Of Scottish Fish Catch At Record High

The value of fish landings is at a record high, having increased by 29% to $563 million in 2016, according to the latest statistics published by the Scottish Government.



The increase was mainly driven by a 41% increase in the value of landings for pelagic fish like herring and mackerel. Mackerel continues to be the most valuable stock, accounting for £169 million of Scottish landings.

Fisheries Secretary, Fergus Ewing, said; "These latest statistics show he value of Scottish catch is at a record high with Scotland's fishing fleet and sea fisheries contributing £563 million in revenue to out economy.

"The fishing industry plays a key role in our rural economy. It supports jobs and businesses at sea but also in our coastal communities, and contributes significantly to Scotland's world class food and drink success story."
