United Kingdom

Overview

While the UK produces several marine finfish species, it ranks as a major producing country for only one of the top 20 marine finfish species in production— Atlantic salmon. Atlantic salmon production accounted for 97% of the UK’s total marine finfish production in 2007. The UK ranked as the third-largest producer of Atlantic salmon, above Canada and below Norway and Chile. The UK’s country score, which is solely dependent on its Atlantic salmon production, is 72—the third-highest score of any assessed country.
