E X P L A N A T O R Y N O T E S1. The various species of fish are divided into three main groups : demersal, pelagic and shellfish. The names of the kinds of fish included in each group, are show in table 2.2. The term "demersal" fish covers species living on or near the sea bed ; "pelagic" fish are species found mainly in coastal waters in shoals near the surface of the sea.3. Quantities of headless or filleted-at-sea fish landed by British and foreign fishing vessels are shown in terms of equivalent landed weight (i.e. head on, gutted) except in the trade tables (17 et seq) where actual product weights are shown.4. The figures of "fish livers" are expressed as the raw equivalent of any liver oils landed.5. The average values of fish quoted in table 11 are those realised at first-hand sales and apply to allfish sold regardless of whether it was sold for human consumption or for other uses (e.g. fish meal, animal feeding stuffs).6. The term "British landings" relates to the landings of British registered fishing vessels.7. The sign . . , indicates a quantity of less than 500 cwts or a value less than £500 according to thetable.
