The Sea Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA) is the agency with responsibility for recording landings of fish (excluding farmed fish) into Irish ports.

I am informed by the SFPA that landings of fish (excluding farmed fish) by Irish and other EU vessels into Castletownbere Fishery Harbour Centre in 2016 and 2017 are as set out in the following table. The tonnage of landings from fish farms is also set out in the table.
