On the plus side: the catch that is sold outside of the U.K. is also counted.
I’m done here now, it’s as pointless as trying to explain calculus to a 3 year old.Comment

The UK has the EU's third largest fishing quota, behind Denmark and Spain.
Fishing quotas were divised in the 1970s in the run up to the Common Fisheries Policy.
Alas, in the early 1970s, the UK fishermen were busy plundering the waters of Iceland rather than Britain, so we ended up with a lower quota than we should have done.
(It is, of course, OK for British fishermen to steal other fish).
In keeping with British tradition, a 'quick buck' is more preferable and so many British fishermen sold their British fishing vessels and quotas to foreigners, which is why foreigners operate British fishing boats and fish their quotas. Perhaps the British fishermen shouldn't have done this?
In 2017, "11,700" fishermen were active in the UK, about 1 in 6 were part time.
In 2017, British vessels caught 724,000 tonnes of fish in the UK and elsewhere. (Remember, foreigners are in our water, but we're also in non-British water. 80% of fish caught by British vessels were in British water, 13% in EU27 water). Britain exported 460,000 tonnes of fish, and imported 705,000 tonnes.

The UK fishing fleet has huge EU quotas for catching fish outside of UK waters. For all their moaning, I suspect they don't really want to lose access to rEU waters.Taking a break from contractingComment

Iceland then bought in the 50 mile barrier - which then meant that the Icelandic ports were out of reach should the weather turn bad so it had quite an impact on fisherman - and their safety.Comment
