Decline in seafood processing

Curiously enough, the UK’s seafood processing industry has seen a steady decline since 2010. A census of the UK seafood processing industry carried out by Seafish between March and August 2012 shows a 15% drop in sea fish processing units. The number of associated jobs has fallen by 17%.

Salmon, as you would expect, remains the most plentiful species, but even so, jobs in salmon processing have fallen by 18% since 2010.
