Scottish catch value bounces back (but not to pre-Covid levels)
While the volume of fish and shellfish caught by the Scottish fishing fleet last year fell 2% compared with 2021 to around 429,000 tonnes, the value of these landings increased 4% to GBP 617 million, finds the new Scottish Sea Fisheries Statistics 2022 report. However, the Scottish government highlights that the value hasn’t returned to 2019/pre-pandemic levels and also that it has risen less than general inflation between 2019 and 2022.
