(1) Main species are those where the total value landed into the UK or by UK vessels abroad was £2m or more in 2013.
(2) The methodology used to calculate value of landings was changed by the introduction of the Register of Buyers and Sellers ( RBS) in September 2005 - see discussion in Annex 1 - Methodology for further details.
(r) Some 2010 figures have been revised downwards due to double counting arising from duplicated records in the vessel file.
