UK fishing group doubles profit in 2022 despite 'abject failure' of post-Brexit quota negotiations

The fishing opportunities available to the UK catching sector remain as 'more than a disappointment', said the owner and operator of the UK's last distant-water whitefish trawler, Kirkella.

In 2022, the Kirkella had a cod quota of roughly half what it had prior to Brexit in Norwegian and Svalbard waters.
