Now you have come to the page, Choose variable. This page give you the oportunity to select which variables and values you want to display in your result of the table. A variable is a property of a statistical unit. The page is divided into several boxes, one for each variable, where you can select values by click to highlight one or more values. It always starts with the statistics variable which is the main value counted in the table.

All catches of fishery products (i.e. fish, crustaceans and molluscs) in the Northeast Atlantic, by fishing vessels or other parts of the fishing fleet carrying the flag of the country.

Catches are expressed in live weight and derived by the application of conversion factors to the actual landed or product weight. As such they exclude all quantities caught but not landed (for example: discarded fish, fish consumed on board).

Includes all destinations, i.e. both human consumption and industrial uses.

In the case of missing values all related higher-level aggregations are also reported as missing. Further information can be obtained from the national statistical office.

For more information, please see the Eurostat Metadata (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cache/metadata/en/fish_ca_esms.htm).

No data available for Åland, but Åland is included in the data for Finland.
Faroe Islands are currently in the process of restructuring their fishing statistics, new data expected in 2025.

species

FAO maintains the FAO ASFIS (Aquatic Sciences and Fishery Information System) list of Species for Fishery Statistics Purposes. Using this list, all species are identified by an internationally assigned three letter identifier (e.g. COD = A.2.2: Atlantic cod, PLE = A.1.5: European plaice). Based on their taxonomic, ecological and economic characteristics, the species are aggregated in 50 groups according to the FAO 'International Standard Statistical Classification for Aquatic Animals and Plants' (ISSCAAP). These groups are aggregated further to higher level groups, to which the codes F10, F20, . F90 are assigned.

fishing area

27: The Northeast Atlantic

For statistical purposes the world is divided into Major Fishing Areas, namely 8 inland areas and 19 marine fishing areas. Certain of these areas have been sub-divided for the reporting of catch statistics. Here catches in the Northeast Atlandic and its sub-divisions are presented.
