As annual negotiations to set fishing opportunities have not yet concluded the final quota allocations for each administration are not yet finalised.

On 22 April Defra published the UK quota management rules which set out how quota will be split across the UK. On 14 April we published the provisional quota for all parts of the UK in the Secretary of State determination.

The final allocations will be published on gov.uk once negotiations have concluded.
