The fishing industry in Wales is a sector of the Welsh economy.

History[edit]

Fisherman in Monmouthshire have fished using lave nets in the Severn Estuary since the 17th-century.[1]

Overview[edit]

Commercial fishing in Wales employs approximately 600 people full-time and is valued at 39,000,000 pounds sterling.[2] 92% of Welsh fishing vessels are designated small-scale.[α][3]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Small-scale vessels are ships with a length under 10 metres.
