Why an FMP for Rockall haddock?
Rockall haddock is a whitefish species caught as part of a targeted haddock fishery within UK waters and also outwith UK waters. Rockall haddock is a commercially important species within UK waters, with a relatively stable landed value of around £6 million over the years, with some degree of annual fluctuation. Rockall haddock is caught primarily by the Scottish demersal whitefish fleet, with 99% of the catch landed into the UK.
