Chapter 10: FISH AND SHELLFISH

This chapter provides baseline information on fish and shellfish communities within the Celtic Sea and wider UKCSA. It summarises species distributions, habitat preferences, and ecological roles, including migratory, demersal, pelagic, and commercially important species.

Applicable policy frameworks, fisheries data sources, and assessment methodologies are outlined to support ecological and socio-economic analysis. The information presented forms the basis for evaluating FLOW-related effects on fish and shellfish resources.
