I have set out in a table the volume of each species landed by the Irish fishing fleet which was taken from the UK EEZ and the percentage this represents of overall Irish landings of that species. Figures have been compiled by the Marine Institute and are an average of landings from the period 2011-2015
Average Irish landings in the UK EEZ by volume (kilotonnes)value (millions of euro) for 2011-15
