Over 29 percent of the total allowable catch has been brought ashore

To date over 29 percent of the total allowable catch has been brought ashore.
A feature of the current season is the reduced number of boats fishing.
Dr David Beard from the Manx fish Producers' Association says it's because some of the larger vessels in the Manx fleet have remained in Scottish waters fishing for King Scallops:
