Details

This is an official statistics release.

The aim of this publication is to provide a comprehensive picture of UK Sea Fisheries in 2025, recent trends and long-term historical context, back to 1938 in some instances.

This release was previously published as accredited official statistics (formerly known as National Statistics). However, the MMO has written to the Office for Statistics Regulation to request a cancellation to the accredited official statistics designation for these statistics. This was agreed by the Director General for Regulation on 27 October 2026. For further details on the reason for the cancellation please see the following statistical notice.

The publication is a summary of:

• The UK fishing fleet (Section 1)
• Its activity at sea
  • Landings – how much fish are caught and landed (Section 2)
  • Effort – how long is spent at sea (Section 3)
• Trade (Section 4)

View the accompanying tables for each section and underlying datasets above.
