27. Fish Stocks* Sustainability of fish stocks around the UK, 1998 to 2005

Fish stocks harvested sustainably since:

1990

1999

During the 1990s the percentage of fish stocks considered to be harvested sustainably was no more than 20 per cent. By 2000 this was 10 per cent, but has increased to 35 per cent in 2005. Despite these increases, these trends show that around 70 to 75 per cent of fish stocks in seas around the UK have suffered reduced reproductive capacity and have been harvested unsustainably each year since 2001. Between 1990 and 2005 landings from the 22 UK fish stocks rose by 46 per cent to 3.6 million tonnes. NEXT INDICATOR | PREVIOUS INDICATOR
