Fish landed at Hastings

Fish and shellfish landed at Hastings in 2025: landings by vessels at Hastings, as the Marine Management Organisation records them, by month and by kind.

Every landing recorded at Hastings in 2025 was by vessels 10 metres and under, registered in England. The figures are for the port of landing, whichever port a vessel calls home. Live weight is, in the MMO's words, “The mass or weight of a product, when removed from the water.”

By month

The kind columns are live weight. A “–” is a month with none of that kind recorded.

By kind

The term demersal fish covers species living on or near the sea bed. The term pelagic fish covers species found mainly in shoals in midwater or near the surface of the sea. The term shellfish covers all crustaceans and molluscs.

The figures are provisional; the file says the finalised data are published in “UK Sea Fisheries Statistics 2025, scheduled for release on 29 October 2026”. The file says: “From 2 December 2025, landings data for English, Welsh and Isle of Man under 10m vessels in this release are primarily based on sales notes for tonnage and value.”

The MMO's 2026 file (to August, updated 25 September 2026) is provisional. It has 34 rows for Hastings, against 177 for the whole of 2025, and none for July. We will show 2026 when its figures are complete.
