Scottish Pelagic Fish Landings Sales in GBP for the Last Five Years

Commercial fishing sales data in GBP for pelagic fish species landed from Scottish waters. The dataset covers the last five years of published statistics and includes landings by both UK-registered vessels and non-UK vessels landing into the UK. Data is redacted in statistical rectangles where fewer than five vessels operate.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in pelagic fish market value based on reported sales in GBP.
• Model the economic impact of commercial fishing activity in Scottish waters.
• Assess data suppression patterns based on the redaction rule for areas with fewer than five vessels.

Strengths

• Covers a five-year time series of published statistics.
• Includes landings data from both UK and non-UK vessels operating in the defined area.
• Applies a clear redaction rule (values = -1) to protect confidentiality where fewer than five vessels operate.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
