2014 will be marked as one of the most successful years in 
the history of the Falkland Islands fishery with several 
record catches registered and the total catch of all 
species in Falkland waters December reaching a record of 
451,000 tonnes.

 

Fished by 151 ships throughout the year, and with a couple 
of weeks still to go, this impressive total catch is 
already 25,000 tonnes more than the bumper year of 1989 by 
278 vessels.
