Online ISSN: 2565-5825

CSO statistical publication, 26 September 2023, 11am

Key Findings

In 2022, fish landings by foreign vessels in Irish ports were at 110,259 tonnes, which was 41% of total landings in Ireland (See Table A).
Fish landings by Irish vessels in Ireland and foreign ports decreased by 15% between 2021 and 2022 (See Table 1A).
In 2022, the species with the highest quantity landed by Irish vessels in Ireland was Atlantic Mackerel at 46,131 tonnes, which was 29% of Irish landings in Ireland (See Table 3A).
Killybegs had the highest quantity of fish landings in 2022 accounting for 65% of landings by Irish vessels in Ireland (See Table 4A).
In 2022, approximately 66% of the catch landed by Irish vessels in Ireland and abroad was between January and April (See Table 9A).

Statistician's Comment

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) has today (26 September 2023) published Fish Landings 2022.

Linh Nolan, Statistician in the Environment and Climate Division of the CSO, said: "In 2022, fish landings by foreign vessels in Irish ports were at 110,259 tonnes, which was 41% of total landings in Ireland (See Table A and Figure 1). Landings by Irish vessels in Ireland fell by 14% between 2021 and 2022 from 181,792 tonnes to 156,943 tonnes.

Landings by Irish vessels in Irish and foreign ports fell by 15% between 2021 and 2022 from 206,068 tonnes to 175,448 tonnes (See Table 1A). Landings by Irish vessels in foreign ports declined by 24% or 5,770 tonnes.

Species

In 2022, the species for which the largest quantities landed by Irish vessels in Ireland were Atlantic Mackerel (29%), Blue Whiting (17%) and Horse Mackerel (9%) (See Figure 2 and Table 3A). Atlantic Mackerel and Lobster Norway have generally been the two species with the highest value landings by Irish vessels in Ireland, a pattern continued in 2022 with Atlantic Mackerel valued at €70 million and Lobster Norway at €66 million (See Table 3D).

Port

Killybegs accounted for 65% (102,731 tonnes) of landings in Ireland by Irish vessels in 2022 (See Figure 3 and Table 4A). Killybegs (84,281 tonnes) and Castletownbere (18,766 tonnes) were the ports with the highest tonnages landed by foreign vessels in Ireland (See Table 4B).

Catch Zone

In 2022, the West of Scotland and Rockall accounted for 38% of catch tonnages by Irish vessels that were landed in Irish and foreign ports (See Figure 4 and Table 6). The South-West of Ireland was next highest at 19%, followed by the Irish Sea at 9%.

Monthly Analysis

In terms of tonnes landed by Irish vessels in Irish and foreign ports the busiest months in 2022 were January to April and October. In 2022, approximately 66% of the catch landed by Irish vessels was between January and April (See Table 9A). There was greater variability at species level e.g. 60% of landings by Irish vessels of Blue Whiting in 2022 took place in March, while 71% of landings by Irish vessels of Horse Mackerel occurred in January 2022 (See Figure 6 and Table 9B)."
