Main species subject to quota limits that are partially caught in UK waters by Irish vessels. (All data provided by the Marine Institute)
- The average annual Irish landings for the years 2011-15 are given in tonnes and value (M€).
- The estimated Irish landings taken from UK waters are given in tonnes and value (M€) as well as the percentage of the total Irish landings that were taken from UK waters by weight (%wt) and by value (%€).
- The last two columns are generally the same because a constant price was assumed for each species; however they can differ for groups of species or totals.
- Some species are divided into distinct stocks by ICES (International Council for the Exploration of the Sea) areas e.g. Haddock in the area West of Scotland (Area 5, 6a) and in the Celtic Sea (Area 7bce-k)
