Landings by Irish trawlers decreased by 8.9% from 213,897 tonnes in 2018 to 194,956 tonnes in 2019 (see Headline Table). Landings by Irish vessels in Ireland dropped by 5.7% or 10,453 tonnes. Landings by Irish vessels in foreign ports decreased by 28.7% or 8,487 tonnes (see Table 1A). Landings by foreign vessels in Ireland decreased by 22% or 29,091 tonnes (see Table 2).

The highest level of landings by Irish vessels in Ireland during 2010-2019 was in 2012 when 249,205 tonnes were landed (see Figure 1). The highest level of landings by Irish vessels in foreign ports during the same period was in 2010 when 153,440 tonnes were landed. Almost half of this (73,535 tonnes) was Boarfish (see Table 3B).

In 2019 the species with the largest quantities landed by Irish vessels in Ireland were Atlantic Mackerel (45,986 tonnes), Blue Whiting (33,548 tonnes) and Horse Mackerel (27,898 tonnes) (see Table 3A). Over the 2010-2019 period, Atlantic Mackerel and Lobster Norway have consistently been the two species with the highest value landings, a pattern continued in 2019 with Atlantic Mackerel at €66.7 million and Lobster Norway at €51.1 million (see Table 3D).

The median prices per tonne for landings by Irish vessels in Ireland is given in Table 3G. Lobster European, Sole Black and Turbot obtained the highest prices. The median price per tonne of Lobster European in 2019 was €18,000. In contrast species with much higher tonnages, like Atlantic Mackerel, obtained lower prices.

Killybegs was the most important port for Irish landings in 2019 accounting for 63.1% (123,067 tonnes) of all landings by Irish vessels (see Table 4A). Killybegs (74,693 tonnes) and Castletownbere (23,329 tonnes) were the ports with the highest tonnages landed by foreign vessels in Ireland (see Table 4B).

The Celtic Sea accounted for 28% (48,620 tonnes) of catch tonnages by Irish vessels that were landed in Ireland in 2019 (see Figure 4 and Table 6A). The South-West of Ireland was next highest at 22.6% (39,295 tonnes), followed by the West of Ireland at 12.9% (22,431 tonnes).

In terms of tonnes landed by Irish vessels the busiest months were January to April and October to December. In 2019, 64% of the catch landed by Irish vessels was in the January to April period (see Table 9A). There was greater variability at species level e.g. 60% of landings by Irish vessels of Blue Whiting in 2019 took place in March (see Table 9B).

Background Notes

Introduction

This release contains data on fish landings by: Irish vessels to Irish ports; Irish vessels to foreign ports; and foreign vessels to Irish ports.

Coverage

The Sea Fisheries Protection Authority Statistics Unit is responsible for collating all sea-fisheries data particularly domestic and foreign landings by Irish vessels. Irish fishing vessels of 10 metres or longer are required to complete a logbook. Fishing vessels of less than 10 metres are not generally required to complete a fishing logbook so landing statistics are gathered using sales notes and gatherers documents.

Aquaculture and angling are not included in this release.

Data Quality

The CSO has made some changes to the value data received from the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority, particularly for 2012. The data published by the SFPA should be regarded as the definitive fish landings data for Ireland, see https://www.sfpa.ie/Data-Statistics/Reports/Annual-Statistics

Data Source

The data were obtained by the CSO from the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority. Data at annual level were obtained for 2007 to 2019. Monthly data for landings by Irish vessels into Ireland were also received from the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority for 2003 to 2019 but the monthly data are not fully consistent with the annual data. The CSO has made some adjustments to the monthly species codes to improve the consistency between the annual and monthly data e.g. where the Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority had recoded the species during the processing of the data at annual level. Two tables have been included showing the monthly profile of catches for all landings by Irish vessels for 2010-2019 (Table 9A) and a second table showing the monthly distribution by species for 2019 (Table 9B).

Historical Data

The CSO previously published an annual fishery statistics release. Fish landings by Irish vessels covering the period 1990 to 2004 were included in these releases.

ICES Regions

International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES) standardise the division of sea areas for statistical analysis. Each ICES statistical rectangle is '30 min latitude by 1 degree longitude' in size which is approximately 30 nautical miles by 30 nautical miles. A number of rectangles are amalgamated to create ICES areas. The ICES areas have been further aggregated by the CSO to show meaningful areas for fish landings relating to Ireland.

Fishing Ports

The SFPA microdata included the name of the harbour that the fish were landed into. The CSO has grouped these together to show data for the main harbours in Ireland. Irish ports have also been aggregated at county level. Landings by Irish vessels into foreign ports have been aggregated to country level.

Revisions

All data are subject to revision. There are mostly small differences between the official SFPA figures and those published in this release. If the causes of these differences are identified then the CSO will amend these figures as necessary e.g. estimation method for unusually low or high or missing unit values.

Species

This release contains data for the main species landed. The microdata contain data at a more detailed level.

Units

The quantity figures presented are in live weight equivalent. The landed weight may differ from the weight of the fish as it was taken from the sea due to the processing of the catch on board the vessel (e.g. gutting, filleting, etc). Conversion factors were applied to the landed weight by SFPA to calculate the live weight equivalent.

Vessels

The name of the fishing vessel was included for most years in the data provided to the CSO by SFPA. However even in those years, the name of the vessel is not on all records. Hence no tables have been presented showing vessel characteristics (number, length, engine power, etc.).
