Proposed North Sea and West Coast of Scotland Haddock Fisheries Management Plan

Why an FMP for Northern Shelf haddock?
Northern Shelf haddock is a whitefish species caught as part of a mixed whitefish fishery within UK waters and also outwith UK waters. Northern Shelf haddock is a commercially important species within UK waters, with the landed value by the UK fleet reaching just over £30 million in 2022. Northern Shelf haddock in UK waters is caught primarily by the Scottish demersal whitefish fleet, with 99% of the catch landed into the UK.
