(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order varies the Sea Fishing (Specified Western Waters) (Restrictions on Landing) Order 1990 “the principal Order” which prohibits, with exceptions, the landing in the United Kingdom of any sea fish (other than salmon or migratory trout) caught in ICES sub-area VII or VIII.

This Order removes the provision in the principal Order which permitted the landing of a quantity of one or more of the descriptions of sea fish referred to in an entry in Schedule 2 to that Order caught in specified areas otherwise than under the authority of a licence as a by-catch not exceeding 10 per cent. by weight of the landed catch in the course of lawful fishing for another description of sea fish (article 2).
