Structure by species processed There has been very little change in the overall share of employment in processing different species groups. Units processing mixed spe- cies (mix of white / shell / pelagic) continue to account for the majority of processing, at 52%, while units processing only pelagic species are again in the minority of processing units at 8%.
Geographical distribution
Grampian now provides more jobs in processing than Humberside
Humberside and Grampian continue to have the largest concentrations of sea fish process- ing units across the UK. The lowest levels of processing activity are in Northern Ireland and the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
The geographical distribution of sea fish processing employment also reflects the dominance of processing activity in the Humberside and Grampian areas and much smaller scale processing activity in more rural outlying areas such as Northern Ireland and the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
