For at least the current quota management year catch records will be used to supplement but not replace sales note data in tracking uptake and setting limits.</p><p> </p><p>As the catch records capture a complete record of landings, any species or landing undeclared on a sales note will be taken from the catch record. Where sales notes and catch records both capture a species and/or a landing but differ in the recorded quantity then the Marine Management Organisation will give due consideration to the reason for the difference when making a decision on which value to use.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 03/02/2020 09:57:34 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
