Squid Fishing in UK Waters

During the past decade, total squid landings from the NE Atlantic ranged from 10,000– 18,000 t. The bulk of European catches were landed by French, Portuguese, Spanish and UK fleets. Loligo forbesi is the most frequently caught species in UK waters, and forms the basis of significant by-catch fisheries, with annual landings as high as 3,500 t. A significant proportion (5–70%) of the total Scottish squid landings are caught in the Moray Firth, where a seasonal, directed fishery operates during summer-autumn. The size of the fleet directly involved in this fishery has ranged from 20–65 vessels in recent years. Many of the fishing crews target squid for several weeks, when large numbers of small squid recruit to the fishery.

Border controls ensure that only food that meets national food safety legislation, and therefore poses no risk to public health, is allowed into the country. Examples of food that would be stopped at the border are fish containing unacceptable levels of mercury, or shellfish containing natural toxins.

Traceability and consumer information under EU fisheries control measures and fish marketing requirements Version 4

European fisheries control measures apply minimum labelling and information requirements throughout the supply chain for certain fisheries and aquaculture products whilst under marketing requirements the consumer and mass caterers must be provided with prescribed catch information. Mass caterers include businesses such as restaurants and takeaways in which food is prepared for consumption by the consumer. The requirements do not apply to all fishery products and some exempted from fisheries control are not exempt under marketing. Under Parts I and II this document provides guidance on which products the traceability and consumer information apply to and what information is required within the supply chain and ultimately for consumers and mass caterers. This document consolidates and updates previous guides on information and traceability requirements in the fisheries control regulation (EC) 1224/2009 and the common organisation of the markets regulation (EU) 1379/2013 into a single guide.
