CSO statistical publication, 29 August 2022, 11am

Key Findings

Fish landings by Irish vessels in Ireland and foreign ports decreased by 5% between 2020 and 2021 from 217,981 tonnes to 206,068 tonnes.
Fish landings by foreign vessels in Ireland decreased by 14% or 19,538 tonnes in 2021.
In 2021, the species with the highest quantity landed by Irish vessels in Ireland was Atlantic Mackerel at 51,476 tonnes.
Killybegs had the highest quantity of fish landings in 2021 accounting for 55% of all landings by Irish vessels.
In 2021, approximately 66% of the catch landed by Irish vessels was between January and April.

Statistician's Comment

Linh Nolan, Statistician in the Environment and Climate Division of the CSO, noted:

"Landings by Irish trawlers decreased by 5% between 2020 and 2021 from 217,981 tonnes to 206,068 tonnes (see Table A). Landings by Irish vessels in Ireland fell by 3% or 6,259 tonnes. Landings by Irish vessels in foreign ports decreased by 19% or 5,655 tonnes. Landings by foreign vessels in Ireland decreased by 14% or 19,538 tonnes (see Table 2).

The highest level of landings by Irish vessels in Ireland during 2012-2021 was in 2012 when 249,205 tonnes were landed (see Table A and Figure 1). The highest level of landings by Irish vessels in foreign ports during the same period was also in 2012 when 57,339 tonnes were landed. Approximately half of this (29,119 tonnes) was boarfish (see Table 3B).

In 2021 the species for which the largest quantities landed by Irish vessels in Ireland were Atlantic Mackerel (51,476 tonnes), Blue Whiting (36,769 tonnes) and Horse Mackerel (16,246 tonnes) (see Figure 2 and Table 3A). Over the 2012-2021 period, Atlantic Mackerel and Lobster Norway have consistently been the two species with the highest value landings by Irish vessels in Ireland, a pattern continued in 2021 with Atlantic Mackerel valued at €60 million and Lobster Norway at €55 million (see Table 3D).

Killybegs accounted for 55% (114,060 tonnes) of all landings by Irish vessels in 2021 (see Figure 3 and Table 4A). Killybegs (89,276 tonnes) and Castletownbere (20,352 tonnes) were the ports with the highest tonnages landed by foreign vessels in Ireland (see Table 4B).

In terms of tonnes landed by Irish vessels the busiest months were January to April and September to November. In 2021 approximately 66% of the catch landed by Irish vessels was between January and April (see Table 8A). There was greater variability at species level e.g. 70% of landings by Irish vessels of Blue Whiting in 2021 took place in March and 58% of landings by Irish vessels of Atlantic Mackerel occurred in January 2021 (see Figure 5 and Table 8B)."
