(1) Includes NS Herring (IVa & IVb) and NS Herring (IVc).
(2) Includes NS Mackerel (IVa) and NS Mackerel (IVb & IVc) but excludes Mackerel from the Shetland Box, allocated on West of Scotland.
(r) The 2008 to 2010 West of Scotland Cod and Haddock figures have been revised due to double counting; the 2010 West of Scotland herring figure did not include landings in IVb; the 2010 North Sea Mackerel and West of Scotland Mackerel figures have been revised because the former was overstated and the latter understated.
